# Video Skills Finder — tool skill for research & trends

> **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.

Finds the right skill for any AI video, image, voice or music job here and shows you the visual options.

## What it does

A small skill that turns any agent into a guide to this catalog. Given a request in any language ("a UGC ad", "клип на песню", "captions like TikTok"), it searches `skills.varg.ai/api/search`, reads the matching use-case page, and asks the person 2–4 questions with example links (look, format, voice, length) before anything is generated. Then it installs the chosen skill and runs the generation on varg. A built-in table covers the common requests when the catalog is unreachable.

## Use when

- Any request to make, edit, caption, voice, dub or animate a video
- Choosing between skills for a video, image or audio job
