Animated chart or data video 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.

Numbers from a CSV or a report as an animated chart: bar race, line, hero number.

Output: 15–60 s, 16:9, 1:1 or 9:16 MP4
