By vargHQ/skills (GitHub) · media · 25 stars · scanned at commit 72e8109

Plan and pre-visualise any multi-shot AI video before spending credits on varg - music videos, ads and product promos, UGC-style spots, trailers, short films, explainers.

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'varg-previz' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'varg-previz' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named varg-previz 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 "$d" checkout --quiet '72e8109188e3366ba8d365902a84d6b237dec1d7' -- 'varg-previz' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'varg-previz' ~/.agents/skills/'varg-previz' && 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-previz' ~/.claude/skills/'varg-previz' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
