# Reviews Arrive as Notifications — effect skill for quotes & reviews

> **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.

Short reviews land as system notifications that stack and push each other down.

## What it does

Built on [Animated List](https://github.com/magicuidesign/magicui/blob/main/apps/www/registry/magicui/animated-list.tsx) by magic-ui, MIT. The write-up and recipes below are varg's.

iOS/macOS-style banners with app icon, name and one line each; new ones spring in at the top, older ones slide down and dim.

**When:** Show momentum: sign-ups, five-star reviews, payments or "new message" pings piling up.

**Watch out:** Do not let the stack grow past 4–5 cards; older ones should leave the frame.

**Timing:** One every 0.4–0.8 s, accelerating slightly; each card spring (damping ~14).

**Also called:** notification stack, toast proof, incoming reviews

### In HyperFrames

```bash
npx hyperframes add notification-cascade
```
Or `notification-stack` for 1–5 token-driven cards on cue times.

### In Remotion

```tsx
// npx shadcn@latest add @magicui/animated-list (frame-driven)
const visible = items.filter((_,i)=> frame > i*15).slice(-4);
```

### In CapCut

Text → Text templates → search "notification"; stagger 3–4 copies 0.5 s apart with Animation In "Slide down".
