Open-Source Desktop AI Short Drama Maker That Keeps Data Local — 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.

LocalMiniDrama: synopsis to multi-episode script, characters, scenes, storyboard, shot videos and merged episode, all stored locally.

What it does

Enter a synopsis and a style and LocalMiniDrama writes a multi-episode script, extracts characters, scenes and props with images, builds a storyboard per episode (shot type, camera, dialogue) and generates a still and a video clip for each shot before merging the episode. A one-click pipeline fills only what is missing and retries rate-limited steps, and an in-drama assistant can edit the script, cast and storyboard by chat. It is a Windows Electron app (or Node.js from source) with SQLite and local files, connected to your own Tongyi, Volcano/Seedance, Kling or Gemini keys. MIT license.
