# vargHQ/skills

> 73 open-source Agent Skills for AI video, image, voice and music: UGC ads, product videos, music videos, consistent characters, captions, motion graphics (HyperFrames, Remotion) and FFmpeg edits. Generation runs on the varg API (Seedance 2.5, Kling 4, Veo 3.1, Wan 3, GPT Image 2.6, Nano Banana 2.1, ElevenLabs v4, Lyria) with one key; many skills run locally with no key.

## Install (for an agent asked to "install varg video skills")

1. Ask which jobs the person wants (ads, music video, characters, captions, motion graphics, editing…) and pick the skills for them from the guides below; installing all 73 makes a long skill list that some agents shorten.
2. Run `npx skills add vargHQ/skills --skill <skill> --skill <skill>` (add `-a <agent> -g -y` for a global, non-interactive install; agents: claude-code, codex, cursor, grok, gemini-cli, github-copilot, opencode and 60+ more). Claude Code can take all of them as a plugin instead: `claude plugin marketplace add vargHQ/skills && claude plugin install varg@varg`.
3. For generation, connect the varg MCP (`https://mcp.varg.ai/mcp`, OAuth sign-in) or set `VARG_API_KEY` from https://varg.ai. Skills marked "no key" need neither.
4. Read the chosen skill's SKILL.md before using it. AGENTS.md has the task → skill index; catalog.json has the same data as JSON.
