Math-To-Manim: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

Math-To-Manim CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code, Codex from HarleyCoops/Math-To-Manim. It costs 513 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

A personal guide for choosing AI models while working on the Math-To-Manim project, rating their cost, reasoning ability, and quality of output.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when selecting models for implementation, user-facing work, reviews, or tasks that may need independent checking.
Why use it?
It helps match different kinds of work with suitable models and sets rules for when to use a more capable model.

Written for Codex and Claude Code: runs codex exec, but also the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions Codex.

This is HarleyCoops/Math-To-Manim's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on Math-To-Manim 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 Math-To-Manim configures →

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 B, and why

Math-To-Manim CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Picking the right models for workflows and subagents

Rankings, higher = better. Cost reflects what I actually pay (OpenAI has really generous limits), not list price. Intelligence is how hard a problem you can hand the model unsupervised. Taste covers UI/UX, code quality, API design, and copy.

model cost intelligence taste
gpt-5.5 9 8 5
sonnet-5 5 5 7
opus-4.8 4 7 8
fable-5 2 9 9

How to apply:

  • These are defaults, not limits. You have standing permission to override them: if a cheaper model's output doesn't meet the bar, rerun or redo the work with a smarter model without asking. Judge the output, not the price tag. Escalating costs less than shipping mediocre work.
  • Cost is a tie-breaker only; when axes conflict for anything that ships, intelligence > taste > cost.
  • Bulk/mechanical work (clear-spec implementation, data analysis, migrations): gpt-5.5 — it's effectively free.
  • Anything user-facing (UI, copy, API design) needs taste ≥ 7.
  • Reviews of plans/implementations: fable-5 or opus-4.8, optionally gpt-5.5 as an extra independent perspective.
  • Never use Haiku.
  • Mechanics: gpt-5.5 is only reachable through the Codex CLI — codex exec / codex review (my ~/.codex/config.toml defaults to gpt-5.5). Use the codex-implementation, codex-review, and codex-computer-use skills; for work they don't cover (investigation, data analysis), run codex exec -s read-only directly with a self-contained prompt.
  • Claude models (sonnet-5, opus-4.8, fable-5) run via the Agent/Workflow model parameter.

Using gpt-5.5 inside workflows and subagents (the model parameter only takes Claude models, so use a wrapper):

  • Spawn a thin Claude wrapper agent with model: 'sonnet', effort: 'low' whose prompt instructs it to write a self-contained codex prompt, run codex exec via Bash, and return the result.

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.

Math-To-Manim CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository HarleyCoops/Math-To-Manim (2,573 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 513 tokens to every session, about $0.0026 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
