Batch of ad variants for testing with an AI agent — skills, options and steps

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.

Ten or more short video ads from one brief, each with a different hook or format, for Meta/TikTok creative testing.

Output: 10–30 MP4s, 9:16 and 4:5, 6–30 s each, named by hook
