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-composer 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 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.

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.

Workflow

Phase 1: Understand the Concept

  1. Research the topic deeply before asking questions

    • Use web search to understand the core concepts
    • Identify the key insights that make this topic interesting
    • Find the "aha moment" - what makes this click for learners
    • Note common misconceptions to address
  2. Identify the narrative hook

    • What question does this video answer?
    • Why should the viewer care?
    • What's the surprising or counterintuitive element?

Phase 2: Clarify with User

Ask targeted questions (not all at once - adapt based on responses):

Audience & Scope

  • What math/science background should I assume? (e.g., "knows calculus" or "high school algebra")
  • Target video length? (short: 5-10min, medium: 15-20min, long: 30min+)
  • Should this be self-contained or part of a series?

Focus & Depth

  • Any specific aspects to emphasize or skip?
  • Proof-heavy or intuition-focused?
  • Real-world applications to include?

Style Preferences

  • Color scheme preferences?
  • Narration style? (casual, formal, playful)
  • Any specific visual metaphors you have in mind?

Phase 3: Create scenes.md

Output a comprehensive scenes.md file with this structure:

# [Video Title]

## Overview
- **Topic**: [Core concept]
- **Hook**: [Opening question/mystery]
- **Target Audience**: [Prerequisites]
- **Estimated Length**: [X minutes]

---

## Scene 2: [Scene Name]

[Notes on how scenes connect, recurring visual motifs]

## Color Palette
- Primary: [color] - used for [purpose]
- Secondary: [color] - used for [purpose]
- Accent: [color] - used for [purpose]
- Background: [color]

## Mathematical Content

## Implementation Order
[Suggested order for implementing scenes, noting dependencies]

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.
