Mock up a video before paying for it: one self-contained HTML board (storyboard board, moodboard, reference board, look test, plan page, contact sheet) with numbered frames, shot specs, prompts, approve / needs-fix / reject and a note per frame, side-by-side variants and feedback copied as Markdown; stills made on varg (Nano Banana 2.1, GPT Image 2.5) that do not look like AI slop and stay consistent (character sheets, environment master first, same lens and light); device and app UI mockups…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# varg mockups: approve cheap stills before expensive video A mockup is anything the reviewer can react to in a minute instead of after a render. In our sessions it was three things, in this order of how often we used them: 1. **A review board**: one HTML page of numbered stills (storyboard, moodboard, reference board, look test, plan page) with a status and a note per frame. Built before any video is generated. 2. **Mockup stills on varg**: look tests, character and location cards, key frames. Cheap images that lock the look, the cast and the geography. 3. **Device and UI mockups inside the video**: a phone chat, a typed note, an app in a phone, terminals and editors. Rendered locally from templates, no credits. The board is the core. Stills feed it; device mockups appear on it as stills before they are rendered as video. ## Why stills first - A 5 s `seedance_2_5` clip at 720p costs about 210 credits. A `nano_banana_2_1` still costs about 6-8 credits and a `gpt_image_2_5` high-quality still about 23 (prices: the `varg-ai` skill, `references/models.md`). One wasted clip pays for 9-35 stills. …

How to install
mdr add varghq/skills/varg-mockups@sha256:7f97aefed76fcc4bThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
