Animated Beam — component for diagrams & flows (react)

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.

Light pulses run along curved lines between app icons and a central logo, like data flowing into a hub

Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use Animated Beam from Magic UI (https://magicui.design/docs/components/animated-beam, MIT) for an integrations shot: your logo in the centre, partner icons on the left and right, one beam per connection. Each beam is an SVG path with a linear gradient whose x1/x2 are animated by motion on an endless repeat, so it plays on wall-clock time. For a render, compute the gradient position from the frame, p = ((frame / fps - delay) % duration) / duration, and map p to x1/x2 along the path; in HyperFrames tween those attributes on the paused timeline with a finite repeat. Tune curvature, pathColor, pathWidth, gradientStartColor and gradientStopColor (brand colours), duration, and reverse for return traffic.
