# Guides for AI video

> **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.

Know-how your agent reads before it works: how to write a script, storyboard, edit and caption, and how to use Remotion, HyperFrames, GSAP, Three.js and FFmpeg.

**Guides** is the word 5.0% of tweets about making video use for this kind of thing (“guide / tutorial”). Every card here is an agent skill: one install command for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw or Gemini CLI.

## Questions

**What is a guide skill?**

Know-how your agent reads before it works: how to write a script, storyboard, edit and caption, and how to use Remotion, HyperFrames, GSAP, Three.js, PixiJS and FFmpeg correctly.

**Does a guide make a video by itself?**

No. A guide makes the agent better at the job; pair it with a workflow or a model skill to produce the video.
