orthogonal-phone-verification
Verify phone numbers using SMS one-time codes via the Didit API. Use when you need to confirm a user owns a phone number, implement SMS-based 2FA, or validate phone during signup/onboarding flows.
Best use case
orthogonal-phone-verification is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Verify phone numbers using SMS one-time codes via the Didit API. Use when you need to confirm a user owns a phone number, implement SMS-based 2FA, or validate phone during signup/onboarding flows.
Teams using orthogonal-phone-verification should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.

# Phone Verification
## Setup
Read your credentials from ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json:
```bash
export GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json'))['api_key'])")
export GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json')).get('api_base','https://api.gooseworks.ai'))")
```
If ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json does not exist, tell the user to run: `npx gooseworks login`
All endpoints use Bearer auth: `-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY"`
Verify phone numbers by sending SMS one-time verification codes via Didit.
## Quick Start
```bash
# Send verification code via SMS
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"didit","path":"/v3/phone/send","body":{"phone_number":"+14155551234"}}'
# Verify the code user provides
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"didit","path":"/v3/phone/check","body":{"phone_number":"+14155551234","code":"123456"}}'
```
## Workflow
### 1. Send Verification Code
```bash
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"didit","path":"/v3/phone/send"}'
-d '{"phone_number": "+14155551234"}'
```
**Request format:**
- Phone must be in E.164 format (e.g., `+14155551234`)
- Include country code with `+` prefix
**Response:**
```json
{
"success": true,
"message": "Verification code sent"
}
```
### 2. Verify Code
When the user provides the code they received:
```bash
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"didit","path":"/v3/phone/check"}'
-d '{"phone_number": "+14155551234", "code": "123456"}'
```
**Response (success):**
```json
{
"success": true,
"verified": true
}
```
## Phone Number Format
Always use E.164 format:
- US: `+14155551234`
- UK: `+447911123456`
- Germany: `+4915123456789`
## Use Cases
- **User signup:** Verify phone before creating account
- **SMS 2FA:** Add phone-based second factor authentication
- **Account recovery:** Verify ownership via SMS
- **Delivery confirmation:** Confirm contact number for orders
## Integration Example (TypeScript)
```typescript
import Orthogonal from "@orth/sdk";
const orthogonal = new Orthogonal({
});
// Send verification code via SMS
const sendResult = await orthogonal.run({
api: "didit",
path: "/v3/phone/send",
body: { phone_number: "+14155551234" }
});
// Verify the code
const verifyResult = await orthogonal.run({
api: "didit",
path: "/v3/phone/check",
body: {
phone_number: "+14155551234",
code: "123456"
}
});
if (verifyResult.data.verified) {
console.log("Phone verified!");
}
