/create-scene - Single Scene Creation Workflow

Create a production-quality animated scene for a single mathematical concept.

Workflow Steps

Step 1: Requirements Gathering (@viz-architect)

Gather the following information from the user:

1. Topic: What mathematical concept to visualize?
2. Duration: Target scene duration (30s / 60s / 90s)
3. Complexity: Simple / Moderate / Complex
4. Features needed:
   • Mathematical formulas? (y/n)
   • Camera movements? (y/n)
   • Data visualization? (y/n)
   • Custom components? (y/n)

Step 2: Scene Design (@scene-designer)

Create a detailed scene plan:

## Scene: [Concept Name]

**Duration**: X seconds
**Concept**: One-sentence description

### Timeline
| Time | Element | Animation | Wait |
|------|---------|-----------|------|
| 0-5s | Title | GrowFromCenter | 0.5s |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |

### Key Moments
- [timestamp] Critical insight
- [timestamp] Transition point

### Technical Requirements
- Camera: [static / zoom / pan]
- Colors: [list semantic colors]
- Formulas: [list any MathTex needed]
- Components: [list any custom VGroups]

Step 3: Formula Preparation (@math-renderer)

If mathematical formulas are needed:

1. Write MathTex code for each formula
2. Identify parts for coloring/animation
3. Create custom MathTex subclasses if complex
4. Document index maps for animation

Step 4: Camera Planning (@camera-specialist)

If camera work is needed:

1. Specify scene type (MovingCameraScene, ThreeDScene)
2. Plan camera moments with timestamps
3. Determine if line width management needed
4. Set timing for camera movements

Step 5: Code Generation (@animation-specialist)

Generate the complete scene code:

# Configuration
COLORS = {
    "PRIMARY": BLUE,
    "SECONDARY": ORANGE,
    "POSITIVE": GREEN,
    "EMPHASIS": PURPLE,
    "MUTED": GRAY,
}

TIMING = {
    "FAST": 0.5,
    "NORMAL": 1.0,
    "SLOW": 2.0,
    "COMPLEX": 4.0,
}

class [SceneName](Scene):  # or MovingCameraScene
    def construct(self):
        # Section 1: Introduction
        self.next_section("Introduction")
        # ... code

        # Section 2: Main Visualization
        self.next_section("Main Content")
        # ... code

        # Section 3: Conclusion
        self.next_section("Conclusion")
        # ... code
