# Text Flip — primitive for text reveals (react)

> **For AI agents:** find the right skill in one call — `curl -s "https://varg.ai/how-to/api/search?q=<what the person wants>"` returns the matching how-to page and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://varg.ai/how-to/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add `.md` to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the how-to page.

"Coding is" stays put while the blue word after it flips up through a list on a loop

## Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use Text Flip from Animata (https://animata.design/docs/text/text-flip, MIT) for a headline with one changing word, centred or as a lower third. The words sit in a clipped column that a CSS keyframe (animate-flip-words) slides upward step by step, forever; the column height is measured once on mount. HyperFrames' CSS adapter can seek it once the iteration count is finite; in Remotion pause the animation and set animation-delay to -(frame / fps)s, or compute translateY per word slot yourself. Edit the words array (repeat the first word at the end for a clean loop), the lead-in text, colours and size.
