What This Skill Does

The Poku skill acts as a powerful telecommunications bridge for your OpenClaw agent, enabling seamless outbound voice calling, SMS messaging, and dedicated phone number management. By integrating directly with the Poku API, this skill allows the agent to handle real-world communications without human intervention. Whether you need to book a dinner reservation, confirm an appointment with a doctor, or send a quick update to a contact, Poku provides the necessary infrastructure to execute these tasks reliably. It also supports automated call transfers if an environment variable is provided, ensuring that your agent always has a human fallback mechanism.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw terminal interface to run the following command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/christina768/poku-test

Ensure that you have your POKU_API_KEY configured as an environment variable before attempting to use the tool, as the agent requires this credential to authenticate against the Poku infrastructure. If the key is missing, the agent will prompt you for configuration.

Use Cases

• Professional Scheduling: Automate calls to doctors' offices or service businesses to inquire about availability or change existing appointments.
• Local Business Interaction: Use the agent to call restaurants to secure a reservation or check operating hours during holidays.
• SMS Notifications: Send automated status updates, appointment reminders, or quick questions to colleagues or personal contacts.
• Dedicated Presence: Provision a dedicated phone number for your agent, allowing it to maintain a unique identity for specific projects or business communications.

Example Prompts

1. "Poku, please call the Italian Bistro on 5th street and check if they have a table for two at 7:00 PM tonight."
2. "Send a text message to Sarah saying I am running 15 minutes late for our meeting due to traffic."
3. "Reserve a new dedicated phone number for my agent to use for client communications."

Tips & Limitations

To maximize the effectiveness of this skill, ensure that all phone numbers are provided in E.164 format. If you anticipate needing a human fallback during calls, configure the POKU_TRANSFER_NUMBER variable, as this enables the agent to hand off complex interactions automatically. Note that this skill requires an active internet connection to communicate with the Poku API, and usage may incur costs associated with your Poku account. Always verify the context of your requests to ensure the agent uses the correct flow—referencing the internal documentation files (CALL.md, SMS.md, or NUMBER.md) is recommended for complex workflows.
