## Other kinds of skills

- [Prompts](https://varg.ai/how-to/prompts.md): The words a video model obeys: camera angles, shot sizes, lighting, characters, hooks and prompt guides for Seedance, Kling, Veo, FLUX and Higgsfield. Your agent writes the prompt with them, or you paste them into the model.

- [Styles](https://varg.ai/how-to/styles.md): The look of the whole video: art styles, film looks, color grades and LUTs, caption fonts and style references. Pick a style and every shot your agent makes follows it.
- [Guides](https://varg.ai/how-to/guides.md): 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.
