For AI agents: find the right skill in one call — curl -s "https://skills.varg.ai/api/search?q=<what the person wants>" returns the matching use case and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). 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 loading counter, copies of a portrait trailing up the screen, a big two-line name, then a content page

Introduce a person or a brand with Codrops' Intro Image Trail Animation (demo https://tympanus.net/Development/IntroTrailEffect/, article https://tympanus.net/codrops/?p=63293, code https://github.com/codrops/IntroTrailEffect, MIT): a stack of copies of one image moves as a trail while the two-line name above it splits up and down and the layout changes into a content page. The enter sequence is a GSAP timeline in src/js/index.js (showContent) started by the Enter button; build it paused and seek it from the frame (HyperFrames: window.__timelines; Remotion: tl.seek(frame / fps)). Use my portrait and name, and the dark warm background.
