Models & tools for AI video

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.

Run one model or tool from your agent: Seedance, Veo, Kling, FLUX, GPT Image, Nano Banana, ElevenLabs and 1,200+ more, plus scrapers, trend search and video analysis.

Models & tools is the word 14.5% of tweets about making video use for this kind of thing (“model / tool”). Every card here is an agent skill: one install command for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw or Gemini CLI.

Other kinds of skills

• Prompts: The words a video model obeys: camera angles, shot sizes, lighting, characters, hooks and prompt guides for Seedance, Kling, Veo, FLUX and Higgsfield. Your agent writes the prompt with them, or you paste them into the model.
• Effects: An effect you can see, added to your video: animated titles, captions, transitions, shader backgrounds, logo animations, device mockups and viral camera tricks. Hand your agent the footage or the brief and get the effect.
• Styles: The look of the whole video: art styles, film looks, color grades and LUTs, caption fonts and style references. Pick a style and every shot your agent makes follows it.
• Guides: Know-how your agent reads before it works: how to write a script, storyboard, edit and caption, and how to use Remotion, HyperFrames, GSAP, Three.js and FFmpeg.
• Workflows: A brief in, a finished video out: UGC ads, product videos, music videos, talking heads, explainers, Shorts and short dramas, step by step, with the models and the edit chosen for you.

Questions

What is a model skill?

A skill that lets your agent run one model or tool correctly: Seedance, Veo, Kling, FLUX, GPT Image, Nano Banana, ElevenLabs voices and music, or a scraper and trend search.

Do I need a separate API key for each model?

With varg one API key runs Seedance 2.5, Kling 4, Veo 3.1, ElevenLabs and 200+ more, billed in credits. Vendor skills can also use the vendor’s own key.
