# Phone Call Capability

## Description
Call the user on the phone for real-time voice conversations. Use this when you need input, want to report on completed work, or need to discuss next steps.

## Prerequisites
- MCP server from [ZeframLou/call-me](https://github.com/ZeframLou/call-me) running
- Telnyx or Twilio account with phone number
- OpenAI API key (for TTS/STT)
- ngrok account for webhook tunneling

**Setup:** Run `/phone-call-setup` workflow

## When to Use

**Use when:**
- You've **completed a significant task** and want to report status
- You need **real-time voice input** for complex decisions
- A question requires **back-and-forth discussion**
- You're **blocked** and need urgent clarification
- You want to **celebrate a milestone** with the user

**Do NOT use for:**
- Simple yes/no questions (use text)
- Routine status updates
- Information already provided

## Tools

### `initiate_call`
Start a phone call with the user.
- **message** (string): What you want to say
- **Returns**: Call ID and user's response

### `continue_call`
Continue an active call.
- **call_id** (string): From `initiate_call`
- **message** (string): Your follow-up

### `speak_to_user`
Speak without waiting for response (for acknowledgments).
- **call_id** (string): From `initiate_call`
- **message** (string): What to say

### `end_call`
End the call gracefully.
- **call_id** (string): From `initiate_call`
- **message** (string): Your goodbye

## Examples

**Simple:**
```
1. initiate_call: "Hey! I finished the auth system. What's next?"
2. User: "Move to API endpoints"
3. end_call: "Perfect! Starting on API endpoints. Talk soon!"
```

**Multi-turn with long operation:**
```
1. initiate_call: "I finished the migration. What should I work on?"
2. User: "Look up the Stripe docs"
3. speak_to_user: "Sure! Let me search for that..."
4. [Perform search]
5. continue_call: "Found the latest Stripe API docs..."
6. end_call: "I'll implement the new payment methods!"
```

## Best Practices
1. Be conversational and natural
2. Provide context before asking questions
3. Offer clear options for decisions
4. Use `speak_to_user` before long operations
5. Always end gracefully with next steps
