.agents/skills - How to call a skill
Mention the skill by name, or just describe the job and let Cline pick it.
popnow-<skill> - Connect PopNow
Skills are free. To generate images, video or sound, set your PopNow API key in POPNOW_API_KEY. Calls using this key draw from your separate API balance in USD. Each paid generation is quoted first and waits for your approval.
POPNOW_API_KEY
- 1Copy the install prompt
Paste it into Cline. It downloads the skill with your API key and unzips it into the right folder.
- 2Ask for the result
Call the skill and say what you need in plain words: the topic, the audience, the length.
- 3Review and refine
Open the file it made, ask for changes in the chat, and ship when it looks right.

Use Cline to create a tutorial from real interface evidence
Start with the user's task on screen
A Cline creative assignment can begin with a reproducible task in an existing application. Annotated Screen Tutorial is a relevant skill when the explanation should show actual interface regions and protect sensitive information. Keyboard Shortcut Tutorial is worth comparing when the lesson centers on a repeatable keyboard interaction. Onboarding Checklist Video is another option when viewers need a sequence of setup actions. Choose based on what a newcomer must be able to do afterward. A tutorial should teach a real path through the product rather than show a plausible but untested interface journey.
Install the tutorial package as a complete unit
Cline's listed personal and project locations are ~/.agents/skills and .agents/skills. Keep the popnow-prefixed folder intact with SKILL.md and its supporting resources. Use its plain name when asking for the tutorial. Roo Code has a different pair of .roo directories, so moving between these hosts requires checking placement even when the creative task stays unchanged. Begin with one installed workflow and a small example. If Cline cannot identify the instructions it loaded, resolve discovery before asking it to explain why a rendered tutorial is missing annotations.
Verify the walkthrough before adding polish
For the first task, provide authorized screenshots, the exact starting state, the steps taken and the visible success condition. Annotated Screen Tutorial describes normalized focus regions and redaction checks, so identify what should be emphasized and what must be hidden. Review labels against the actual interface and check that the sequence can be reproduced from the stated starting point. If a step is uncertain, stop the narrative there and resolve it rather than inventing a transition. Local rendering errors call for dependency checks; inaccurate instructions call for a better tested source walkthrough. Keep those two review loops separate so a polished export remains useful to the learner.
Three ways to install
- Ask your agent
Copy a skill's install prompt into your agent. It reads the install guide, downloads the package with your key and unzips it into the right folder.
https://popnow.ai/api/skills/install.md - Use the CLI
popnow skills finds and installs skills from your terminal.
npm install -g @popnow/cli && popnow skills - Over MCP
With the developer MCP connected, ask for a style: find_skills suggests packages and install_skill hands over the playbook and the install commands.
find_skills → install_skill - Generation uses your API key
Skills are free. The images, video, music and voice they make through PopNow are charged in USD to the API balance behind POPNOW_API_KEY, after a quote you approve.
POPNOW_API_KEY
Install guides by agent
Same skills everywhere; only the folder changes.
Frequently asked questions
Where should a Cline tutorial skill be installed?
The repository location listed here is .agents/skills, with ~/.agents/skills as the personal alternative. Put the complete package under the chosen scope and retain its resource files. Use the plain skill name in the task and confirm the assistant has found its instructions.
What should I supply for an annotated walkthrough?
Bring screenshots you may use, the exact task sequence and a clear definition of success. Mark sensitive interface regions for redaction and identify the areas that need visual focus. The workflow can organize that material, but the accuracy of the underlying task still needs review.
When is a shortcut tutorial the better choice?
Keyboard Shortcut Tutorial is worth inspecting when the lesson's central action is a repeatable keyboard workflow. Annotated Screen Tutorial is a broader candidate for a sourced screen walkthrough. Compare both with the intended learner and confirm the displayed interaction matches the application being taught.
How do I diagnose a tutorial that skips a step?
Return to the recorded starting state and repeat the task manually or from your verified notes. Check whether the missing transition was ever supplied in the source material. Ask Cline to revise the sequence from evidence rather than simply inserting a decorative scene to cover the gap.
