Agents for -a: claude-code, codex, grok, cursor, gemini-cli, github-copilot, opencode and 60+ more. Or paste this into your agent: "Install varg video skills for me by reading https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vargHQ/skills/main/llms.txt". Then ask for the result in plain words. The agent reads the matching skill, asks the two or three choices that matter, shows stills before any video is paid for, and hands back the MP4.

Try these

Ads, UGC and ecommerce video

Product photos and links into ads that run on TikTok, TikTok Shop, Reels and Meta, plus hooks, variants, testing, dubbing and compliance.

Four genuinely different ad concepts play in a row as a test set: a pet nail clipper hook, a man relaxing in a heated neck massager, a backyard security-light hook and a glove-slicing demo.
Ad creative testing
One winning ad and its metrics become a test plan: distinct concepts, budgets, when to judge, file names, kill or scale calls.

A smiling man in a bright kitchen presses a vegetable chopper and holds the container of diced onion up to the camera, with a $19.99 shop tag.

Install

Works with any agent that reads the Agent Skills standard.

Agent Install
Any agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok, Gemini CLI, Copilot, OpenCode and 60+ more) npx skills add vargHQ/skills or one skill: npx skills add vargHQ/skills --skill ai-ugc-ad-video
Claude Code plugin (all 78 skills + the varg MCP) claude plugin marketplace add vargHQ/skills then claude plugin install varg@varg
Codex plugin codex plugin marketplace add vargHQ/skills, then /plugins in Codex
Grok Build plugin grok plugin install vargHQ/skills --trust
GitHub Copilot gh skill install vargHQ/skills ai-ugc-ad-video --agent github-copilot --scope user
Gemini CLI one skill: gemini skills install https://github.com/vargHQ/skills.git --path ai-ugc-ad-video; MCP servers + GEMINI.md: gemini extensions install https://github.com/vargHQ/skills
ClawHub / OpenClaw clawhub install @vargai/varg-ai (one skill per install)

Install only the skills you need for the job (each guide above gives its own one-line install). All 78 at once make a long skill list, and some agents shorten long lists.

More: install inside Claude Code, update, Kiro, OpenCode, manual copy
  • Inside Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add vargHQ/skills, then /plugin install varg@varg. Third-party marketplaces don't auto-update by default: /plugin → Marketplaces → varg → Enable auto-update, or run claude plugin update varg@varg.
  • Update skills installed with the skills CLI: npx skills update.
  • Pick agents and scope: npx skills add vargHQ/skills --skill varg-ai -a claude-code -a codex -g -y (-g global, -y no prompts, --list to see every skill).
  • OpenCode: npx skills add vargHQ/skills -a opencode -g, or copy one skill folder to ~/.config/opencode/skills/<skill>/.
  • Kiro: powers/varg-how-to connects the keyless varg how to MCP. Powers panel → Add Custom Power → Import power from GitHub.
  • Manual (any agent): copy a skill folder into your agent's skills directory, for example ~/.claude/skills/<skill>/ (Claude Code) or ~/.agents/skills/<skill>/ (Codex and others).

How it works

  1. You ask for the result, in any language: "a music video for this song", "Hormozi captions on my talk", "the same girl in all six scenes".
  2. The agent picks the skill by its description and reads its SKILL.md: the inputs to ask for, the steps, the prompts, the checks.
  3. Cheap before expensive. Skills that generate show stills or a storyboard for approval first and call estimate_cost before a batch, a long video or a render.
  4. It makes the files: generation on the varg API (one key for Seedance, Kling, Veo, Wan, GPT Image, Nano Banana, ElevenLabs, Lyria and 200+ more models, billed at provider price), or a local render with HyperFrames, Remotion, three.js or FFmpeg.
  5. It checks the output: frames, loudness, text in the safe zone, the product and faces unchanged, before it hands over the MP4.

Cloud mode needs only curl. Local rendering needs Bun and ffmpeg; HyperFrames needs Node 22, the Remotion recipes a Remotion 4 project.

How this fits with other video skills

  • HyperFrames and Remotion are rendering engines with their own skills for writing compositions. The motion skills here give exact presets on top of both (captions, titles, kinetic type, overlays, transitions, maps). Install them side by side.
  • fal skills call fal's model API with a fal key. The skills here reach the same kinds of models through one varg key and add the job around the model: script, references, stills first, prompts measured on paid runs, QA.
  • OpenMontage is an open-source production pipeline you run yourself. These skills are smaller units an agent picks per task: one for a UGC ad, one for captions, one for a music video.

For AI agents

  • Pick a skill by task: AGENTS.md maps what the person wants to the skill to read first; catalog.json has every skill with its category, key, cost, output and preview; llms.txt links every SKILL.md and guide as raw Markdown and says how to install.
  • Not in this repo? Search 2,000+ video skills and tutorials with the keyless varg how to MCP: claude mcp add --transport http varg-how-to https://api.varg.ai/v2/skills/mcp (search_how_to, then get_how_to), or install how-to-make-ai-video.
  • Generate: the varg MCP (https://mcp.varg.ai/mcp, OAuth) or VARG_API_KEY against https://api.varg.ai/v2. Model ids, inputs and limits: varg.ai/models/llms.txt.
  • Spend: estimate first and wait for the person's yes before a batch, a long video or a render. Approve stills before video.

FAQ

What are agent skills?

Folders with a SKILL.md: instructions, scripts and references an AI agent loads when a task matches the skill's description. They follow the open Agent Skills format, so the same folder works in Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot, OpenCode and other tools.

Do I need an API key?

Not for the skills that plan, write, edit or render locally (listed under How it works). Skills that generate images, video, voice or music use the varg API: sign in to the varg MCP with OAuth, or set VARG_API_KEY.

How much does an AI video cost?

Models are billed at provider price with no markup, 1 credit = $0.01. Figures measured in the skills: a still is a few cents (Nano Banana 2.1 about $0.05, GPT Image 2.6 about $0.03–0.07); a 5-second Seedance 2.5 clip is about $0.64 at 480p to $3.42 at 1080p; a 15-second Kling 4 take at 720p is about $2.36. Each skill page lists its own typical cost, and the agent calls estimate_cost before anything expensive. A new varg account gets 50 free credits ($0.50, about ten stills) on its first sign-in, one grant per network, so the first results cost nothing.

Which models does it use?

Video: Seedance 2.5, Kling 4, Veo 3.1, Wan 3. Images: GPT Image 2.6, Nano Banana 2.1, Flux. Voice: ElevenLabs v4. Music: Lyria, Mureka, ElevenLabs Music. Plus lip sync, try-on, upscaling, transcription and FFmpeg. The full list: varg.ai/models.

Does it work with HyperFrames and Remotion?

Yes. The motion skills give presets for both, and the editing skills give FFmpeg, HyperFrames and Remotion recipes. They render locally for free.

Is it open source and safe to install?

MIT. Read any SKILL.md before you install it. The plugin has no hooks and changes no settings; everything it contacts is listed under What this plugin connects to.

Can I add my own skill?

Open a pull request with a new folder (see CONTRIBUTING.md), or list a skill you keep elsewhere on varg how to with varg-publish-skill.

What this plugin connects to

Everything the plugin runs, sends or fetches:

  • varg how to MCP (https://api.varg.ai/v2/skills/mcp): no key. Sends the search text you or the agent type (search_how_to) and returns how-to cards. Searches are logged without IP or key (query, MCP client name, top results).
  • varg MCP (https://mcp.varg.ai/mcp): OAuth sign-in to your varg account. Sends generation requests (prompts, uploaded or linked media) and spends your varg credits; results are stored in your varg account and served from s3.varg.ai.
  • varg API (https://api.varg.ai): the skills' curl examples send VARG_API_KEY from your environment as a Bearer token to api.varg.ai only, never to any other host.
  • media-download: runs yt-dlp on your machine against the video link you give it and saves the file locally.
  • paper-shaders and varg-previz: render locally; varg-previz bundles three.js (MIT) in varg-previz/templates/previz/vendor/ so the previz page works offline.
  • code-to-video-previz: its Three.js page loads three.js (MIT, pinned version) from jsDelivr and renders with your local Chrome and ffmpeg. Blender and camera solving use the bpy package through uv. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.
  • video-project-github: runs git and gh on your computer, creates a private repo on your GitHub account and uploads your project and media there (only with your go-ahead, after you sign in yourself). It never reads or uploads .env, adds git hooks to the project, and refuses a public repo. No other network calls.
  • threejs-animatic: its starter loads three.js (MIT, pinned version) from jsDelivr, runs a Bun server on localhost that saves camera edits into the project folder, and renders with your local Chrome and ffmpeg. varg-mockups boards are single HTML files; notes stay in the viewer's browser storage.
  • The previews on these pages are images on s3.varg.ai; nothing in a README runs code.
  • The plugin has no hooks and changes no Claude settings or permissions.
