# Adobe for Creativity Skills — 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 'Adobe for creativity' connector (launched April 28, 2026 with Claude for Creative Work) exposes 50+ Creative Cloud tools from Photoshop, Firefly, Express and Premiere. Its skills include adobe-create-social-variations (subject-aware crops and AI canvas expansion for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube and more, with a 3-crop preview first), adobe-design-from-template (social posts and flyers from Express templates), adobe-resize-photos-and-videos and adobe-edit-quick-cut (sizzle reels). Output is platform-ready image and video assets in Creative Cloud.

## Use when

- make every social crop of this ad image or video
- design a social post from an Express template
- cut a long video into a punchy highlight reel

## Not for

- Claude Code or Cursor without the Claude-app connector (Adobe IMS has no open client registration)
- generating AI actors or UGC

- Any agent, with the vargai CLI: `vargai install adobe-for-creativity-social-variations`
