skills AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from vargHQ/skills. It costs 3,620 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of repository instructions for finding, reading, and using agent skills in a library of AI media workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as the operating guide when working in the skills repository or choosing a skill for an AI image, video, voice, or music task.
Why use it?
It tells an agent which instructions to read, when to ask for choices and approval, how to handle paid generation, and how to check results.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; positional $N argument; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is vargHQ/skills's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on skills itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything skills configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

skills AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AGENTS.md

vargHQ/skills is a library of Agent Skills for AI video, image, voice and music. Each top-level folder with a SKILL.md is one skill.

Use a skill

  1. Find the person's task in the index below (or in catalog.json). If nothing fits, search the keyless varg how to MCP (https://api.varg.ai/v2/skills/mcp: search_how_to, then get_how_to) or read how-to-make-ai-video/SKILL.md.
  2. Read <skill>/SKILL.md before anything else. It lists the inputs to ask for, the choices to put to the person, the steps, the prompts and the checks. Load its references/ only when the SKILL.md points there.
  3. Ask the two to four choices the skill names, in the person's language, before spending anything.
  4. Skills that generate spend varg credits (1 credit = $0.01, provider price). Approve stills before video, call estimate_cost before a batch, a long video or a render, and wait for the person's yes. Never clear a cache.
  5. Check the output the way the skill says (frames, loudness, text in the safe zone, faces and product unchanged) before handing over files.

Generate with the varg MCP (https://mcp.varg.ai/mcp, OAuth) or VARG_API_KEY against https://api.varg.ai/v2. Current model ids, inputs and limits: https://varg.ai/models/llms.txt.
