Turn an Idea, Script or Novel into a Multi-Shot Film — workflow skill for stories & short dramas

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.

ViMax agents act as director, screenwriter and producer: concept, screenplay or novel to characters, storyboard, consistent shots and an assembled video.

What it does

ViMax (MIT, from HKU Data Intelligence Lab) is an agentic framework with Idea2Video, Script2Video, Novel2Video and AutoCameo workflows. Its agents write the story and script, design characters, plan storyboards and shots, manage reference images and first frames for consistency, generate shots in parallel and assemble the final video. You drive it from an agent loop in a TUI or a Web UI with projects, storyboard previews and render checkpoints. You configure your own LLM, image model (e.g. GPT Image 2) and video model (e.g. Seedance 2.0 Fast) endpoints.
