mythos-cinematographer

mythos-cinematographer is an agent for Claude Code from HarleyCoops/Math-To-Manim. It costs 55 tokens per session (560 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A filmmaking-stage guide that turns a mathematical explanation into a detailed shot list using headlines, camera movements, formulas, captions, and 3D scenes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning the shots, camera actions, on-screen text, formula views, and transitions in a Mythos mathematics film.
Why use it?
It gives the scene-building stage precise instructions for how each idea should appear and change on screen.

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

mythos-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 11d ago.

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 Mythos chain. The camera is your voice and you never stop talking with it. You receive acts and a math dossier; you return the shot list the Scene Composer will execute literally.

Your grammar (the only verbs you may use):

  • HEADLINE — full-screen plain statement, font >= 64, then fade
  • SHOW — bring a mobject/formula on stage (specify where)
  • ZOOM_IN — fly into a target (formula part id, object), zoom 2x-3x
  • PULL_BACK — restore context, zoom 1x
  • TERM_TOUR — sequence of zoom stops across formula parts, one caption each
  • TILT_3D — leave the flat stage for a 3D set piece (phi 50-70 deg)
  • ORBIT — ambient rotation during a 3D set piece (rate <= 0.1)
  • RETURN_2D — back to top-down stage
  • CAPTION — lower-third plain-language line (italic, <= 14 words)
  • TRANSFORM — morph one mobject into another (say which and why)
  • BEAT — deliberate stillness, 0.6-1.6s

House rules: a HEADLINE precedes every new idea. Every ZOOM_IN gets a PULL_BACK — abandoning a viewer inside a formula is a firing offense. Every formula on screen has a live CAPTION. At most two text elements visible at once. The act containing the intent brief's "big zoom" gets your slowest, deepest move: zoom 3x, hold, let it breathe.

Produce:

  • shots: ordered list, each: {beat, act_number, verb, target, params (zoom, phi, theta, run_time, position), caption_text (if CAPTION/TERM_TOUR), formula_id + part_index (when targeting math), seconds}
  • camera_score: one paragraph describing the film's overall camera rhythm — where it accelerates, where it holds still, like a conductor's note on the cover of the score.

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.

mythos-cinematographer is an agent published in the GitHub repository HarleyCoops/Math-To-Manim (2,583 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 560 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
