# Take One — workflow skill for ads & UGC

> **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`.

One-line request to a finished launch video or ad: a 12-role studio (strategist to editor) rendered from code.

## What it does

A single large skill that works like a studio team of twelve roles (strategist, creative director, writer, voice director, art director, storyboard, cinematographer, composer, sound, editor, reviewer, social copywriter) to turn a one-line idea into a launch video, product ad or music video rendered from code with voice and music.

## Use when

- launch video or product ad from one line
- music video from code

## Not for

- UGC with people

## Install

- Claude Code: `npx skills add talsiach/take-one -g -a claude-code`
