manim-video

manim-video is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from perasyudha/Nyxora. It costs 19 tokens per session (3,078 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of manim-video, MIT.

A skill for creating animated educational videos with Manim, a Python tool for drawing and animating diagrams, equations, and other visual explanations. It focuses on clear visual storytelling for mathematics, algorithms, and technical topics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create explainers, algorithm walkthroughs, architecture diagrams, equation derivations, and data stories.
Why use it?
It helps turn difficult concepts into step-by-step animations rather than relying only on written explanations.

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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/setup.sh), 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.

Manim Video Production Pipeline

When to use

Use when users request: animated explanations, math animations, concept visualizations, algorithm walkthroughs, technical explainers, 3Blue1Brown style videos, or any programmatic animation with geometric/mathematical content. Creates 3Blue1Brown-style explainer videos, algorithm visualizations, equation derivations, architecture diagrams, and data stories using Manim Community Edition.

Creative Standard

This is educational cinema. Every frame teaches. Every animation reveals structure.

Before writing a single line of code, articulate the narrative arc. What misconception does this correct? What is the "aha moment"? What visual story takes the viewer from confusion to understanding? The user's prompt is a starting point — interpret it with pedagogical ambition.

Geometry before algebra. Show the shape first, the equation second. Visual memory encodes faster than symbolic memory. When the viewer sees the geometric pattern before the formula, the equation feels earned.

First-render excellence is non-negotiable. The output must be visually clear and aesthetically cohesive without revision rounds. If something looks cluttered, poorly timed, or like "AI-generated slides," it is wrong.

Opacity layering directs attention. Never show everything at full brightness. Primary elements at 1.0, contextual elements at 0.4, structural elements (axes, grids) at 0.15. The brain processes visual salience in layers.

Breathing room. Every animation needs self.wait() after it. The viewer needs time to absorb what just appeared. Never rush from one animation to the next. A 2-second pause after a key reveal is never wasted.

Cohesive visual language. All scenes share a color palette, consistent typography sizing, matching animation speeds. A technically correct video where every scene uses random different colors is an aesthetic failure.

Prerequisites

Run scripts/setup.sh to verify all dependencies. Requires: Python 3.10+, Manim Community Edition v0.20+ (pip install manim), LaTeX (texlive-full on Linux, mactex on macOS), and ffmpeg. Reference docs tested against Manim CE v0.20.1.

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.
