# cinetic: directed launch films from code — workflow skill for launch videos

> **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`.

- **Type:** [Workflow](https://varg.ai/how-to/workflows.md) · [Launch videos](https://varg.ai/how-to/browse/skills/launch.md)
- **Slug:** `cinetic-launch-films`
- **Status:** live
- **Publisher:** Leon (Leonxlnx) (community)
- **License:** MIT
- **Source:** https://github.com/Leonxlnx/cinetic
- **Works in:** Claude Code, Codex
- **Requires:** Node, ffmpeg, Remotion or HyperFrames
- **Adoption:** 967 GitHub stars (GitHub, 2026-11-02)

## What it does

pick.py draws a film plan weighted for format and energy so two films do not share the same moves; look comes from three personality words; copy arrives in fragments; timeline.ts drives picture, soundtrack and QA; true motion blur, BT.709, contact sheets, critic passes and a linter of hard bans against the generated look. Remotion by default or HyperFrames. Sound from the earshot kit (already in catalog).

## Use when

- launch teasers that should not look templated
- brand films with measured sound sync

## Not for

- quick social cuts
- talking-head edits

## Install

- Claude Code: `npx skills add Leonxlnx/cinetic`
- Codex: `npx skills add Leonxlnx/cinetic`
- Any agent, with the vargai CLI: `vargai install cinetic-launch-films`

**Models it drives:** remotion, hyperframes

## Run the generation on varg

varg is one API key for the models these skills drive — Seedance 2.5, Kling 4, Veo 3.1, Wan 3, Nano Banana 2.1, GPT Image 2.5, ElevenLabs v4 and 200+ more — billed in credits, with a cost estimate before anything runs.

- Any agent with a terminal: `curl -fsSL https://varg.ai/install | sh` (Windows: `irm https://varg.ai/install.ps1 | iex`), then `vargai login` and every model is a command — `vargai generate_video …`, `vargai estimate_cost …` (https://varg.ai/how-to/cli/)
- Claude Code: `claude plugin marketplace add vargHQ/skills && claude plugin install varg@varg` (skill + hosted MCP)
- Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw: `npx skills add vargHQ/skills --skill varg-ai -a <agent> -y`
- Grok and any agent that reads SKILL.md: `npx skills add vargHQ/skills --skill varg-ai`, or point it at the skill's SKILL.md
