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 ` with no key, every varg model after `vargai login`. VideoClaw agent skill and Web UI: idea to script, character and scene art, storyboards, Wan or Kling shots and a final cut, with endless sequels. - **Type:** [Workflow](https://varg.ai/how-to/workflows.md) · [Stories & short dramas](https://varg.ai/how-to/browse/skills/story.md) - **Slug:** `idea-to-ai-short-drama-series` - **Status:** live - **Publisher:** HITsz-TMG (community) - **Source:** https://github.com/HITsz-TMG/VideoClaw/tree/main/video-claw - **Works in:** Claude Code ## What it does VideoClaw (MIT, HITsz-TMG) is an AI director system: one idea or synopsis becomes a structured multi-scene script, character and scene reference art, storyboards, per-shot reference frames, video clips and an exported cut, with every stage visible and editable in between. Clips come from models such as Wan or Kling, by first frame, first and last frame, or reference images. The same pipeline ships as the video-claw agent skill (also on ClawHub) for OpenClaw and other agents. The README shows an 8-episode live-action drama and a 5-episode sci-fi animated series made with it. ## Use when - Make a multi-episode AI drama from a story idea - Continue a series with new episodes that keep the cast - Review and edit each stage before generating video - Make a narrated short, motion transfer or talking-avatar clip ## Install - Claude Code: `git clone https://github.com/HITsz-TMG/VideoClaw.git && cd VideoClaw/video-claw/video-claw && chmod +x install.sh && ./install.sh` - Any agent, with the vargai CLI: `vargai install idea-to-ai-short-drama-series` ## Example output https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/63c2f33c-da50-44f0-8c26-a65611479d6a — example (credit: HITsz-TMG) ## More stories & short dramas skills - [fal Storytelling](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/fal-storytelling.md): Plan multi-shot stories: storyboards, shot lists, first-to-last-frame chains and continuity across scenes. - [Cat Story (Higgsfield Open-Source Short Series)](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/higgsfield-open-cat-story.md): Higgsfield's 64 s dreamy K-drama series about being loved by someone you've never truly seen: a white cat. - [The Dusk (Higgsfield Open-Source Drama Episode)](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/higgsfield-open-dusk.md): Higgsfield's 88 s muted, grainy school drama: a pale boy's quiet warning and a guarded girl's wary silence. - [One More Time (Higgsfield Open-Source Romcom Short)](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/higgsfield-open-one-more-time.md): A 2000s-style K-drama romcom from Higgsfield Soul: a girl secretly rewinds time on a first date, again and again. - [The New Girl (Higgsfield Open-Source J-Drama Episode)](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/higgsfield-open-the-new-girl.md): Higgsfield's 77 s J-drama school episode: Haruka's ordinary first day at a new school is about to change. - [Shuohao Short-Drama Skills](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/shuohao-short-drama.md): Seven chained skills from novel to AI short drama: characters, outline, art bible, script, staging, storyboard. ## 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 -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 - Claude.ai, ChatGPT, any MCP client: connect `https://mcp.varg.ai/mcp` - API key: https://varg.ai/dashboard/api · Model specs: https://varg.ai/models/llms.txt
