varg AI — model skill for tools & renderers

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.

The official varg skill: videos, images, speech and music through one API key, rendered in the cloud or locally.

What it does

The flagship varg skill and the only one published in vargHQ/skills so far. It finds an existing varg API key (environment, ~/.varg/credentials, .env) without printing it, checks the credit balance, then picks cloud render (POST /v2/render, curl only) or local render (bunx vargai render, bun + ffmpeg, free --preview). Media is made with function calls (Image(), Video(), Speech()) and composed in JSX (<Render>, <Clip>, <Music>, <Captions>); ten reference files cover models, components, recipes, prompting, the REST API, BYOK and common errors. The Claude Code plugin also adds the hosted varg MCP server (OAuth sign-in), and the skill checks GitHub for a newer version once per session.

Example output

https://s3.varg.ai/how-to/previews/7df061df8dcb/varg-ai.mp4 — varg's 'Claymation UGC Ad – Super Focus', the most-used template in varg's gallery, rendered from a varg TSX file (vargHQ/templates claymation-ugc.tsx): generated claymation scenes, a voiceover, music and word captions composed in one render. Cut 5.5-13.5 s: coffee at the desk, the 'Super Focus' bottle in hand, papers flying. (credit: varg, https://varg.ai)
