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

manimgl-best-practices 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 60 executable files (examples/attention_arcs_animation.py, examples/attention_pattern_dots.py, examples/attention_scenes.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 216 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

How to use

Read individual rule files for detailed explanations and code examples:

Core Concepts

Creation & Transformation

Text & Math

  • rules/tex.md - Tex class, raw strings R"...", and LaTeX rendering
  • rules/text.md - Text mobjects, fonts, and styling
  • rules/t2c.md - tex_to_color_map (t2c) for coloring math expressions

Styling & Appearance

3D & Camera

  • rules/3d.md - 3D objects, surfaces, Sphere, Torus, parametric surfaces, lighting
  • rules/camera.md - frame.reorient(), Euler angles, fix_in_frame(), camera animations

Interactive Development

Configuration & CLI

  • rules/cli.md - manimgl command, flags (-w, -o, -se, -l, -h), rendering options
  • rules/config.md - custom_config.yml, directories, camera settings, quality presets

What ships with it

60 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
