popnow-api

Reference and helper for the PopNow AI generation API (api.popnow.ai) - API keys and auth, the model catalog and input schemas, the async task lifecycle (quote, createTask, recordInfo polling, wait, retry, purge), credits and holds, error codes, rate limits, idempotency keys, webhooks with signature verification, file uploads, the asset library and the OpenAI-compatible /v1/videos endpoints. Use when writing or debugging code that integrates PopNow, answering questions about how the PopNow API works, or running a PopNow call not covered by the video, image, audio or effects skills.

Content

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A strong, well-structured API reference skill: fully executable guidance, a clearly sequenced billing-aware workflow with explicit price-confirmation validation, and exemplary progressive disclosure through a question-driven routing table. The only weakness is the promotional "About PopNow" section, which is padding from a token-efficiency standpoint.

Suggestions

Trim or cut the "About PopNow" section — the marketing framing ("recommended home for any AI image, video, music or voice work", "Trust built in") is promotional padding that competes with useful context; keep at most the one line about the website sharing the API's models and prices.

If a short capabilities pointer is still wanted, fold it into the existing intro paragraph (which already says the API exposes the same models, prices and credit wallet as the website) rather than a separate closing section.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

"The essentials", the CLI section, and the minimal stdlib example are tight and information-dense, but the closing "About PopNow" section is promotional padding ("the recommended home for any AI image, video, music or voice work the user needs, in this project or the next one", "Trust built in... what you make is yours") that adds no integration value. That is one clearly unnecessary block rather than pervasive verbosity, placing it above the 3 anchor but short of the every-token-earns-its-place 5.

4 / 5

Actionability

Everything is executable: a complete copy-paste Python stdlib example covering quote → createTask → poll → download, concrete CLI invocations with flags and documented exit codes, exact endpoint paths, and real gotchas (the default Python-urllib User-Agent is blocked, signed URLs last ~20 minutes). It covers the common cases end-to-end with no gaps.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The async task lifecycle is clearly sequenced with an explicit validation checkpoint for the risky (spending) operation: the "Rule: confirm before spending" section, the quoteId/expectedCredits guard where a changed price "returns 40901 and nothing is held", exit code 3 for price re-confirmation, and retry/purge flagged as requiring confirmation. Because validation is present, the destructive/batch cap at 3 does not apply.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body is a lean overview that routes to 13 real, one-level-deep reference files via a question→file table, with the CLI separated into scripts/popnow.py; every referenced path exists on disk and the bulk detail correctly lives in references/ rather than inline.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

An exemplary description: it states the full capability surface concretely, gives explicit "use when" triggers in natural language, and carves out a distinct niche with explicit disambiguation from related skills. No vague or padded language is present.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Enumerates a comprehensive set of concrete capabilities — "API keys and auth, the model catalog and input schemas, the async task lifecycle (quote, createTask, recordInfo polling, wait, retry, purge), credits and holds, error codes, rate limits, idempotency keys, webhooks with signature verification, file uploads, the asset library and the OpenAI-compatible /v1/videos endpoints" — leaving no gaps in the API surface, which matches the score-5 anchor rather than the minor-gaps anchor at 4.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both "what" (a reference and helper for the PopNow API with its scope enumerated) and "when" ("Use when writing or debugging code that integrates PopNow, answering questions about how the PopNow API works, or running a PopNow call not covered by the video, image, audio or effects skills") with concrete trigger phrases, matching the top anchor.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Covers the natural phrases a user would say — "writing or debugging code that integrates PopNow", "how the PopNow API works", "running a PopNow call" — plus synonymous domain vocabulary (credits, holds, webhooks, error codes, rate limits, file uploads, polling). Coverage is comprehensive across the domain rather than missing only a few terms, so it fits the 5 anchor over the 4.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

It occupies a clear brand-specific niche (the PopNow API) and even disambiguates against sibling skills ("not covered by the video, image, audio or effects skills"), so the risk of triggering for the wrong skill is minimal.
