+
+# How to make any AI video
+
+varg how to (https://varg.ai/how-to) maps what people ask for ("a UGC ad for my serum", "a music video for my song", "TikTok captions") to the skills that make it, the choices to offer and the steps. It is a search index, not a model: one call, about 0.1-0.5 s, no key, any language.
+
+## 1. Search once, with the person's own words
+
+```bash
+curl -s "https://varg.ai/how-to/api/search?q=<the request, URL-encoded>&client=<your agent, e.g. claude-code>"
+```
+
+The answer is Markdown with the best-matching how-to page, the options to show the person, and the top skills with exact install commands for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw and Gemini CLI. Add `&limit=15` for more. For JSON (ranked cards with `kind`, `slug`, `markdown`, `install`), call the API:
+
+```bash
+curl -s "https://api.varg.ai/v2/skills/search?q=<request>&limit=10&client=<your agent>"
+```
+
+Pass `client` (your agent's name) on every search. It is optional, but it shows varg which agents use the catalog, so it can rank better for them. Searches are logged without IP or key.
+
+## 2. Read the how-to page it names
+
+Every page has a Markdown twin: add `.md` to its path, for example `https://varg.ai/how-to/make-a-ugc-ad-video.md`. A how-to page lists the best skill ("Start here"), the alternatives and add-ons (captions, voice, music), the questions to ask with example links, the numbered steps, and how the generation runs on varg. The index of all pages is `https://varg.ai/how-to/llms.txt`.
+
+## 3. Let the person choose before spending anything
+
+Send one message with the 2-4 decisions that change the result (look, format, voice, length). Give each 2-4 options plus your recommended default, and put the page's example link next to every option that has one (`- Selfie creator: example https://s3.varg.ai/...mp4`). People choose a look by seeing it. Do not generate until they pick, unless they said to just go.
+
+## 4. Install the chosen skill and run it
+
+Use the install command from the page for the agent you are running in. Generation (images, video, voice, music, lip-sync, captions, render) runs on varg with one account: the `varg-ai` skill (`npx skills add vargHQ/skills --skill varg-ai`) or the varg MCP server `https://mcp.varg.ai/mcp` (OAuth sign-in, no key to paste). Quote the cost before a batch, a long video or a render (`estimate_cost` in the MCP, `POST https://api.varg.ai/v2/estimate` in the API).
+
+## As an MCP server (no key)
+
+Agents that prefer tools over curl can add the public varg how to MCP server:
+
+```bash
+claude mcp add --transport http varg-how-to https://api.varg.ai/v2/skills/mcp
+```
+
+It has two read-only tools: `search_how_to {query}` and `get_how_to {kind, slug}`. The second returns a page as Markdown. If the server is unreachable, use the curl calls above; they give the same results.
+
+## Signed in (optional)
+
+Anonymous search is enough to find and run anything. If a varg key is already on the machine, use it for a personal search that ranks what this person saved and used first. Never ask the person to paste a key into the chat.
+
+```bash
+export VARG_API_KEY="${VARG_API_KEY:-$(grep -o '"api_key"[^,}]*' ~/.varg/credentials 2>/dev/null | head -1 | cut -d'"' -f4)}"
+[ -n "$VARG_API_KEY" ] && curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $VARG_API_KEY" "https://api.varg.ai/v2/skills/me/search?q=<request>&client=<your agent>"
+```
+
+A 404 or 401 means the personal search is not available for this key. Fall back to the public search. In the varg MCP (`https://mcp.varg.ai/mcp`), `search_skills` signs in through OAuth and does the same: the agent authorizes itself in the browser, and no key is copied.
+
+## List a skill you built
+
+If you (or the person) built an agent skill that makes or edits video, images, voice or music, list it on varg how to so other agents find it:
+
+- The full flow, with the one card format every listing uses: install the `varg-publish-skill` skill (`npx skills add vargHQ/skills --skill varg-publish-skill`).
+- In the varg MCP: the `publish-skill` prompt, then `publish_skill`. `my_skills` shows the review status.
+- With a key: `POST https://api.varg.ai/v2/skills/submissions`, with a JSON body like this:
+
+```bash
+curl -s -X POST https://api.varg.ai/v2/skills/submissions \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VARG_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"name":"Lyric Video Maker","summary":"Turn a song into a karaoke-style lyric video for Reels.","source_url":"https://github.com/<you>/<repo>","install":"npx skills add <you>/<repo>","use_when":["make a lyric video","karaoke video for a song"],"tags":["lyric-video","music"],"via":"api"}'
+```
+
+- Without an agent: the form at https://varg.ai/how-to/publish.
+
+Every submission is reviewed by the varg team before it goes live. Write the name as the task ("Turn a song into a lyric video"), not a brand.
+
+## If varg how to is unreachable
+
+Start from these, by request:
+
+| Request | Start with | Add |
+|---|---|---|
+| UGC / creator ad, ad variants | `ai-ugc-ad-video`, `ad-creative-testing` | `varg-ai` |

+| Edit existing footage | `varg-video-editing`, `varg-video-edit-library` | `short-form-ffmpeg-cookbook` |
+| Music or lyric video | `varg-music-video`, `hyperframes` | `varg-ai` |
+| Launch, changelog, explainer video | `hyperframes` | `varg-ai` |
+| Consistent characters, character sheets | `varg-character-design`, `varg-consistent-characters` | `varg-ai` |
+| Podcast-style dialogue video | `varg-podcast-video` | `varg-ai` |
