# Cut the Curve — primitive for transitions (hyperframes)

> **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 velocity-matched directional hard cut: the outgoing subject accelerates with power4.in, swaps at peak velocity, and the incoming subject continues in the same direction with power4.out.
