Turns a name, an age and a few photos into a personalized AI birthday video on varg: a song that sings their name, their photo coming to life as they blow out the candles, a "then and now" montage, an epic trailer starring them, a pet's birthday, an animated e-card or invitation. Asks the 5 questions that make it theirs, makes the stills first (GPT Image 2.5 spells the name on the cake), animates them (Wan 3, Seedance 2.5), makes the song (ElevenLabs Music sings the name), then exports one…

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

# Personalized AI birthday video

A name, an age and one to twenty photos in; a 15–60 s video that is unmistakably theirs out: their name sung on
the hook, their face (or their dog's), the details only their people know. Generic "Happy Birthday" templates
are what everyone already gets; the reason to make one with an agent is that it can be about one person.

Generation runs on varg: REST `https://api.varg.ai/v2` (the `varg-ai` skill) or the MCP server
`https://mcp.varg.ai/mcp` (`generate_image`, `generate_video`, `generate_music`, `call_tool`, `get_job`,
`estimate_cost`). Quote the price of every clip before it runs.

## 1. Ask five things, then go

1. **Who and how to say it:** the name as they spell it and how it sounds, the age (or "don't say it"), and who
   is sending it (partner, best friend, kids to a parent, a team).
2. **Three true details:** a habit, a place, a joke, a pet, a dream. They go into the song and the scenes.
3. **Photos:** one clear, front-facing photo of the birthday person for a face that must match (more angles
   help), or 6–20 photos across the years for a montage. Ask whether they agree to their face being animated; for

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add varghq/skills/varg-birthday-video@sha256:39a2cd336edaed53

The 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.
