manim-video

manim-video is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from metaspartan/cybara. It costs 39 tokens per session (430 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating mathematical and explanatory animations in Python with Manim, an animation tool that renders scenes into videos.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write Manim scenes, animate mathematical ideas or algorithms, preview them, and render the final result as an MP4 video.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to turn formulas, algorithms, shapes, and other step-by-step ideas into short videos.

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

manim-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.

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

Manim Video

Manim is an animation engine (Python) for precise mathematical/explanatory videos. Write a scene, render it to MP4 with manim.

When to use

  • "animate / make a video showing …"
  • Math derivations, algorithm visualizations, geometric constructions.
  • Step-by-step explainers.

Workflow

  1. Write a Python scene file using the Manim API. Save with the write tool, e.g. scene.py.
  2. Render: manim -pql scene.py SceneName (low quality preview, -p plays after). Use -pqh for high quality / final.
  3. Output MP4 lands under media/videos/.... State the path.

Minimal scene template

from manim import *

class Squares(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        s = Square(side_length=2, color=BLUE)
        self.play(Create(s))
        self.play(s.animate.rotate(PI / 2).set_color(RED))
        self.wait()

Tips

  • Keep scenes short and focused; one idea per scene.
  • Animate one property change per self.play(...) step so it reads clearly.
  • For text, use MathTex (LaTeX math) or Text (plain).
  • Prefer -ql previews while iterating; switch to -qh only for the final render.
  • Requires python3 and the manim package (install via pip). Per project rules, never use npm-equivalents for JS; here Manim is Python so pip is correct.

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.
