What it does
Autocue is an agent skill from dxos/dxos. Record a demo of the running app that the agent drives itself — a .mdl QA test or an ad-hoc walkthrough — as a captioned .webm (or a screenshot), trimmed of dead air and ready to attach. Use when asked to demo a feature, show a flow working in the real app, produce a video or screenshots of the UI, or execute a flow whose steps have no operation behind them. Also covers manual mode, where the user records their own screen while the agent drives a visible browser step by step on their cue. "Cue <demo" (e.g. "cue…
Its SKILL.md is about 12k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 19 other files, including scripts (for example `SIDE-BY-SIDE.md`).
It sits in Testing & QA, covering Browser testing. It works with Playwright. The repository describes itself as: TypeScript implementation of the DXOS protocols, SDK, toolchain and Composer.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to demo a feature
- Show a flow working in the real app
- Produce a video
- Screenshots of the UI
Example prompts
- “Cue <demo”
- “cue the projects demo”
- “/autocue”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Get the app running
- Start the driver
- Caption every step
- Trim the dead air
- Send it
- Watch the demo before shipping it
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2e6b92a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 16 files in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
nodeghapt-getcargoffmpegcurlswift
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
raw.githubusercontent.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Autocue loads about 12k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 182 tokens; SKILL.md has 6,648 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 6,648 words (~12,198 tokens).
“"Cue" is the verb. "Cue the projects demo" means: find the committed flow whose name or doc comment matches, serve the app its @app line names, and list its steps. Cueing never opens the browser or runs. "Go" then does…”

When should I use Autocue?
Autocue fits situations like: asked to demo a feature; show a flow working in the real app; produce a video; screenshots of the UI.
How do I install Autocue in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add dxos/dxos --skill autocue -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/autocue in dxos/dxos) into .claude/skills/autocue in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Autocue in Codex?
Run `npx skills add dxos/dxos --skill autocue -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/autocue in dxos/dxos) into .agents/skills/autocue in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Autocue in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add dxos/dxos --skill autocue -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/autocue, .gemini/skills/autocue, .github/skills/autocue and .opencode/skills/autocue in your project.
What does Autocue need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Autocue needs JavaScript for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (node, gh, apt-get, cargo, ffmpeg and curl). Our summary lists: Node.js.
Does Autocue access the network?
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: raw.githubusercontent.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Autocue safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Autocue use?
Autocue has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Autocue use?
About 12k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 49k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Autocue?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Autocue: Web Application Testing (anthropics/skills, 180k stars), Playwright CLI (sanity-io/sanity, 6.4k stars), Write and Verify Playwright Tests (appsmithorg/appsmith, 41k stars) and playwright-cli Browser Automation (github/gh-aw, 5.4k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
