concept-to-video

concept-to-video is a skill for Claude Code from Mathews-Tom/armory. It costs 70 tokens per session (4,336 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for creating animated explainer videos with Manim, a Python library for programmatic animations. It can combine multiple scenes and add audio, producing MP4 or GIF files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for explainer videos about pipelines, architecture, algorithms, agent interactions, mathematics, training loops, transitions, and animated text. It is intended for Manim-based videos rather than React video projects.
Why use it?
It turns ideas such as system flows, algorithms, comparisons, and mathematical concepts into structured visual explanations. Reference rules help shape common animation layouts and sequences.

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

concept-to-video 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 15 executable files (references/templates/comparison_template.py, references/templates/data_flow_template.py, references/templates/timeline_template.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.
