Makes multi-scene ad videos on varg in which the same people, outfits and location stay consistent in every shot, built from real actor photos or generated characters: one profile card per actor, an empty location card, scene composites approved as stills first, then image-to-video with native dialogue audio, trimmed and captioned in one cloud render. Also covers frame and audio QA of the output and turning a reference video into a scene script. Use when a script names actors (A1, A2), a locati…

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'varg-consistent-characters' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'varg-consistent-characters' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named varg-consistent-characters already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/vargHQ/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '72e8109188e3366ba8d365902a84d6b237dec1d7' -- 'varg-consistent-characters' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'varg-consistent-characters' ~/.agents/skills/'varg-consistent-characters' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'varg-consistent-characters' ~/.claude/skills/'varg-consistent-characters' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
