Reference Finder — style skill for style references

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.

Pointer-only reference search: deep links to shot.cafe, film-grab and eyecannndy — never the frames.

What it does

Given a shot spec or a technique card, returns human deep links (shot.cafe tag pages, film-grab searches, eyecannndy technique pages; ShotDeck and Film Vibes for subscribers) together with the card's own words — metadata and links, never image bytes. It follows the FrameThrower MCP contract, 'a discovery and reference tool, not an image-delivery pipe': URLs are built from patterns verified on 2026-10-26, and the agent never fetches or crawls the galleries, whose terms forbid scraping and commercial reuse and whose robots rules shut out AI crawlers (shot.cafe disallows ClaudeBot). Users who keep their own boards can connect Savee or Eagle over MCP instead.
