Full index: https://skills.varg.ai/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add .md to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the use-case page.

A pile of photos shuffles behind a big serif title, then one settles into a framed portrait with its name

Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Open a photo-heavy video with Codrops' Image Stack Intro Animation (demo https://tympanus.net/Development/ImageStackGrid/, article https://tympanus.net/codrops/?p=52018, code https://github.com/codrops/ImageStackGrid, MIT): the images start piled in the centre, the title animates in, then each image travels to its own spot in a loose grid. The intro is one GSAP timeline (intro() in src/js/demo1/galleryController.js) that runs on load; create it paused and seek it from the frame (HyperFrames: window.__timelines; Remotion: tl.seek(frame / fps)), and remove Locomotive Scroll. Use 6–10 of my photos and my title, on a dark background.
