Before & After Ad — workflow skill for ads & UGC

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 routine before and after with no invented results: morning and night shots, voiceover, captions, end card.

What it does

Being extracted from varg Studio, where this format is hard-coded today (formats.ts); there is no SKILL.md yet. Shots: the morning routine, the night routine with the product, and the product on the shelf as the end card, under a voiceover that runs "Before: [pain]…" then "After: [product], morning and night". Studio's rule for this format is no invented results. Same three-shot recipe as UGC Ad; default hooks: Relatability, POV, Curiosity; one of Studio's three first-ad formats.

Example output

https://skills.varg.ai/previews/varg-studio-before-after.mp4 — varg's 'The Bet – Before & After' template (kling-v3, captions; Before & After shelf of varg's gallery): a mirror-selfie 'before' that hard-cuts at 17.1 s to 'Day 28' in identical framing, the after shot chained off the before composite. Cut 12.5-20.5 s. Note: a transformation result, whereas the Studio format itself sticks to morning/night routine shots and invents no results. (credit: varg, https://varg.ai)
