# Adobe Firefly Run Workflow — guide skill for ads & UGC

> **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. From a terminal: `curl -fsSL https://varg.ai/install | sh` installs the vargai CLI (https://varg.ai/how-to/cli.md): `vargai search` and `vargai install <slug>` with no key, every varg model after `vargai login`.

## What it does

Adobe's run-workflow plugin connects the agent to the run-workflow MCP (run-workflow.adobe.io) to discover, compose, run, publish and save Firefly workflows. Featured workflows include Product Banners At Scale, banner advertising, retargeting, localization and packaging; the agent can take a creative brief, wire a PSD or INDD template, run multi-variant batches and inspect runs. Output is batches of on-template ad assets in Firefly.

## Use when

- render product banners at scale from one template
- localize a banner campaign into many markets
- build a retargeting creative batch from a brief

## Not for
