.minimax/skills - How to call a skill
Mention the skill by name, or just describe the job and let MiniMax Code 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 MiniMax Code. 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.

Coordinate a MiniMax Code brand story across media
Start with the narrative, then choose the medium
A MiniMax Code creative task can turn an approved brand brief into a presentation or visual story. Brand Story Presentation is a candidate when a speaker will guide the audience. Visual Storytelling Deck is worth comparing for a more image-led presentation direction, while Cinematic Product Teaser offers a motion-oriented alternative. Inspect the examples to decide which supports the actual message. These skill choices describe production workflows; the agent's name does not mean the task must use any particular generation model. Begin with the audience, the point of the story and the material you can legitimately show.
Use the MiniMax Code instruction locations
PopNow lists ~/.minimax/skills for personal packages and .minimax/skills for repository packages. Keep the downloaded popnow-prefixed folder intact with SKILL.md and its resources. Invoke the skill by its plain name and follow it with the approved narrative brief. Mistral Vibe's paths use .vibe instead. When comparing these assistants for the same creative task, follow each host's recorded directory rather than assuming model-related names imply a shared setup. Confirm the selected package before evaluating the visual quality of the first output.
Maintain one source of brand decisions
For a first MiniMax Code brand story, supply the product purpose, approved wording, visual references and any existing marks or colors that should remain. Ask for an outline explaining the role of each section before refining the presentation. If the work becomes a teaser, adapt the story to motion instead of placing long presentation paragraphs on screen. Review whether imagery is illustrative or documentary and label the distinction where it matters. If execution fails, consult the package's local requirements. If the story feels interchangeable with another brand, improve the source brief with specific facts and constraints rather than asking for a louder visual style.
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
Does MiniMax Code require a specific media model for these skills?
The installation record names the host agent and its skill directories; it does not prescribe a particular generation model for every creative task. Inspect the selected package's requirements and media steps. Choose a workflow based on the deliverable and review any optional generation quote before approving it.
Where should a repository's brand-story package go?
Use .minimax/skills for the project scope listed here, or ~/.minimax/skills for a personal collection. Retain SKILL.md and the supporting resources together. Name the skill plainly in the request and include the approved brand brief so the assistant has concrete material to follow.
How do the two presentation options differ in purpose?
Brand Story Presentation and Visual Storytelling Deck offer alternative catalog directions to inspect. Compare their examples, inputs and visual hierarchy with the audience's needs. Choose one coherent starting point rather than combining sample sections before the central narrative and evidence have been agreed.
What changes when a brand deck becomes a teaser?
Motion needs a sequence that remains understandable without a presenter explaining every slide. Shorten visible copy, identify the role of each visual and preserve factual consistency with the approved brief. Cinematic Product Teaser is a related workflow to review before adapting presentation material into a film.
