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

Turn a technical brief into a Qoder product explanation
Decide how much of the mechanism to show
For a Qoder creative task, a technical product can be introduced through a website, a diagram or a motion explanation. Hardware Product Website is a catalog direction for a public product page. Product Cross-Section Diagram is worth inspecting when internal structure is the point of the explanation. Blueprint Promo Video offers a different presentation style for a product introduction. Choose the medium based on the audience's question: what it does, how its parts relate, or why the product matters. A stylized diagram should not imply verified engineering measurements that the source material does not establish.
Use Qoder's documented installation destinations
The PopNow agent record lists ~/.qoder/skills for personal skills and .qoder/skills for repository skills. Keep each package's SKILL.md and resources inside its downloaded folder. Invoke the skill by its plain name, followed by your source brief. Trae uses similarly named but separate .trae locations. If you are comparing assistants on one product task, install for each explicitly rather than moving files around until something happens to respond. Confirm which package Qoder has loaded before evaluating whether the workflow is appropriate for the technical subject.
Supply the evidence behind every visual claim
A useful first Qoder brief includes approved product facts, labeled reference images and a list of details that are unknown or illustrative. Ask for an explanation outline before producing final visuals. For a cross-section, verify part names and relationships; for a website, verify the visitor-facing claims; for motion, verify that the sequence does not suggest a mechanism the product lacks. If output quality is inconsistent, narrow the request to one product story and provide stronger references. If the task cannot execute, check the selected skill's requirements and file placement. That keeps an evidence problem separate from a rendering or installation problem.
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
Which Qoder folder is for a repository-specific skill?
Use .qoder/skills within the project for the listed repository scope. The personal option is ~/.qoder/skills. Preserve the full package, then identify it by its plain popnow-prefixed name in your request. Confirm discovery before spending time adjusting the product narrative or visual references.
When should I select a cross-section diagram?
Consider Product Cross-Section Diagram when understanding part relationships is central to the task and you can supply reliable references. A Hardware Product Website serves a broader introduction. Review the samples and required inputs to decide whether a detailed diagram actually answers the reader's question.
Can a blueprint-style film establish technical accuracy?
Its visual style does not establish the truth of the mechanism it shows. Supply verified product material and review labels, movements and relationships against it. Blueprint Promo Video is a creative format to inspect, while the factual basis must come from the evidence in your brief.
What if I only have exterior product photographs?
Explain that limitation in the request and avoid presenting unseen internal construction as established fact. Start with a product-page concept or an exterior-focused visual direction. Ask Qoder to flag where additional documentation would be needed before developing a more detailed technical explanation.
