A frame-by-frame Performance Profile of the source creator drives every generation, and identity is locked at the image layer rather than with a reference video. Clone mode makes one video; account mode makes 10-20 videos with one actor across rooms, outfits and light. Needs Claude Code, the Arcads MCP, ffmpeg and yt-dlp; a 4s 480p generation costs about 75 Arcads credits, text variants are free. ## Use when - Recreate a viral TikTok app ad with your own actor - Build a TikTok account of 10-20 videos around one consistent AI creator - Mass-produce silent UGC hook variations with rotating on-screen text - Swap your actor's face into an existing hook and stitch it to your app demo ## Install - Claude Code: `git clone https://github.com/jasonlee-breadcrumb/silent-ugc.git && cp -r silent-ugc/skills/silent-ugc ~/.claude/skills/` - Any agent, with the vargai CLI: `vargai install turn-a-silent-tiktok-ugc-hook-into-your-ai-actors-app-ad` ## More ads & UGC skills - [Ecommerce video ad skills for Claude Code and AI agents](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/ecommerce-video-ads.md): Product videos that sell on TikTok, TikTok Shop, Reels and Meta: angle, hook, format, script, rules, variants. - [Turn a product into scroll-stopping video hooks](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/product-video-hooks.md): The first 3 seconds of a product video: frame, line and text that agree, from a 70-line hook bank. - [Open-source alternative to Arcads: AI UGC ads](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/ai-ugc-ad-video.md): AI UGC ads with an AI actor holding your real product: face, voice and label locked, labelled. - [Turn one winning ad into a creative testing plan](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/ad-creative-testing.md): How many ads to test, what to change, when to judge, kill or scale — concepts Meta sees as different. - [Turn a product into a dropshipping guide reel](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/varg-dropship-reel.md): The faceless "comment GUIDE" reel: product hook, a marker pointing at cost and price on a laptop, a skyline ending. - [Turn product photos into a viral product hook](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/varg-product-hook.md): Find a hook that already sells, then remake it with your product as phone or security-cam footage on Seedance 2.5. ## 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
