kimi3manim

kimi3manim is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HarleyCoops/KimiK3Manim. It costs 15 tokens per session (1,096 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that turns a mathematics or physics idea into a rendered Manim video. Manim is a Python tool for creating animated mathematical graphics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make animations of mathematical or physical concepts, resume a failed animation, or re-render a Manim scene at a selected video quality.
Why use it?
It organizes concept planning, explanation, visual design, coding, rendering, and review into one process. Failed runs can be resumed, and existing scenes can be rendered again without repeating model work.

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

kimi3manim 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 12d 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.

Kimi3Manim: concept to rendered film

Drive the Kimi3Manim six-agent pipeline (Concept Scout, Mathematical Enricher, Visual Designer, Narrative Composer, Manim Coder, vision Render Critic under a deterministic supervisor) to turn any math or physics concept into a rendered 1080p Manim film.

When to Use

  • The user asks to animate, visualize, or make a video/film of a mathematical or physical concept, at any level from middle-school geometry to graduate physics.
  • The user wants to resume or debug a failed animation run.
  • The user wants an existing Manim scene re-rendered.

Quick Reference

Task Command (run in the repo directory)
Full pipeline, concept to mp4 uv run python -m k3_agents.supervisor "<concept>" --quality qh
Resume failed run at Stage 5 uv run python resume_pipeline.py [run_dir]
Re-render a scene, no model calls uv run manim -qh <file.py> <SceneClass>
One-time subscription login uv run kimi login
Install deps uv sync

Quality flags: ql 480p (smoke test), qm 720p, qh 1080p, qk 4K. --max-repairs N bounds coder/critic repair rounds (default 3).

Procedure

  1. Locate the repo (config kimi3manim.repo, default ~/KimiK3Manim). Missing? git clone https://github.com/HarleyCoops/KimiK3Manim.git, then uv sync inside it. System deps: ffmpeg, texlive, texlive-latex-extra, dvisvgm.
  2. Verify auth: either the user ran uv run kimi login once (Kimi Code OAuth subscription - the default), or MOONSHOT_API_KEY is set in .env (also enables the vision critic stage).
  3. Warn the user that a full run takes minutes and spends Kimi quota (six kimi-k3 calls at max reasoning plus rendering); never launch runs in parallel.
  4. Phrase the concept the way the intended audience would ask it - the Scout calibrates prerequisite depth from the phrasing. "why the Pythagorean theorem is true" is as valid as "the double cover of SO(3)".
  5. Run the supervisor command. The built-in preflight aborts with exact instructions if the environment is broken - relay its message verbatim and fix the environment; do not retry the pipeline.
  6. Outputs land in output/k3_runs/<slug>/: numbered JSON artifacts (01 knowledge graph ... 06 critique), generated scenes in scenes/, per-attempt render_attemptN.log, and the mp4 under media/. Deliver the mp4. [[as_document]]

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.

kimi3manim is a skill published in the GitHub repository HarleyCoops/KimiK3Manim (143 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 1,096 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
