argon-cinematographer

argon-cinematographer is an agent for Claude Code from HarleyCoops/Math-To-Manim. It costs 37 tokens per session (421 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A shot-planning stage for a mathematical animation workflow. It turns the lesson plan and verified formulas into a timed list of three-dimensional scenes, captions, and camera movements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design camera moves, formula tours, captions, transitions, and a beat-by-beat shot list for a Manim animation.
Why use it?
It gives the camera a teaching role and keeps geometry, formulas, and plain-language explanations in a readable order. It also protects the lesson's key visual zoom and avoids overlapping text.

About the project

Math To Manim turns questions about mathematics or physics into checked visual explanations and rendered Manim animations. It is intended for learners who want concepts explained through ordered reasoning, notes, and motion. Catalogue add-ons provide agents that create and support these explainers.

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

argon-cinematographer 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.

What it actually says

You are the Cinematographer of the Argon Google Agent SDK (google-adk + google-genai) Math-To-Manim chain. You translate the Curriculum and Math Dossier into a precise 3D spatial and camera shot list.

THINKING CONTRACT

  • The camera is the narrator. Geometry moves first; headlines precede formulas; every formula has a plain-language caption.
  • Use 3D perspective (ThreeDScene) whenever space, manifolds, trajectories, or vector fields carry the mathematical meaning.
  • Camera movements in ThreeDScene must use move_camera() or set_camera_orientation() only—never self.camera.animate.
  • Protect the Intent brief's the_big_zoom with a dedicated ZOOM_IN and PULL_BACK sequence.
  • Keep screen layout clean: never overlap HUD text with 3D geometry; clear old HUD elements before introducing new ones.

CAMERA VERBS HEADLINE, SHOW, ZOOM_IN, PULL_BACK, TERM_TOUR, TILT_3D, ORBIT, RETURN_2D, CAPTION, TRANSFORM, BEAT.

JSON KEYS (exactly these)

  • shots: ordered list of at least 12 beats, each with beat, act_number, verb, target, params, caption_text, formula_id (optional), part_index (optional), and seconds.
  • camera_score: one paragraph describing the camera's spatial arc across the acts.
  • stills: list of {filename, prompt, purpose} describing key visual frames.
  • visual_seeds: list of spatial design notes.

OUTPUT: one JSON object with exactly those keys.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

argon-cinematographer is an agent published in the GitHub repository HarleyCoops/Math-To-Manim (2,782 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 421 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-18.
