manim-skill

par Yusuke710 · Yusuke710/manim-skill

Claude autonomously plans, writes, renders, and refines Manim animations — go from 'explain this concept' to a video file without touching Python.

A skill that runs the full Manim loop inside Claude Code. You describe a concept; Claude drafts scene code, invokes manim to render, inspects the result, and iterates until it matches your intent. Built for 3Blue1Brown-style math/CS explanations.

Cas d'usage

Usages concrets : manim-skill

Animate the intuition behind a math or CS concept

👤 Educators, YouTubers, students explaining to themselves ⏱ ~45 min intermediate

Quand l'utiliser : A concept is easier with motion than with words (gradient descent, sorting, Fourier).

Déroulement
  1. State the concept
    Use manim-skill. Animate gradient descent on a 2D loss surface — ball rolling, learning rate visibly affects step size.✓ Copié
    → Scene plan + code + low-q preview rendered
  2. Iterate
    Slower at first, faster once it's in the valley. Label the axes.✓ Copié
    → Code updated, re-rendered preview
  3. Final render
    Looks good — render at 1080p60.✓ Copié
    → High-q mp4 produced

Résultat : An explainer video you can embed in a blog post.

Pièges
  • Manim code has breaking changes across versions — Pin your manim version in requirements; the skill's prompts assume recent Community Edition
Combiner avec : filesystem

Build a series of scenes for a longer explainer

👤 Video creators working on a single concept over multiple shots ⏱ ~180 min advanced

Quand l'utiliser : You have a 5-minute script and need 10+ scenes to go with it.

Déroulement
  1. Feed the script
    Use manim-skill. Here's my script. Break into scene beats and propose a Manim scene per beat.✓ Copié
    → Ordered scene plan
  2. Render in batches
    Render scenes 1-3 at preview quality; show me.✓ Copié
    → Three low-q mp4s
  3. Consolidate
    Ok, lock scenes 1-3. Move to 4-6.✓ Copié
    → Work proceeds; locked scenes untouched

Résultat : A full scene library ready for final render.

Pièges
  • Rendering high-q for every iteration wastes time — Iterate at -ql (low) and only go -qh once locked

Combinaisons

Associez-le à d'autres MCPs pour un effet X10

manim-skill + filesystem

Organize a project's scenes, renders, and drafts

Keep scenes in project/scenes/, renders in project/renders/preview or /final.✓ Copié

Dépannage

Erreurs courantes et correctifs

manim import errors

Manim CE vs GL — make sure you're on Community (pip install manim), not the legacy 3b1b version

Vérifier : python -c 'import manim; print(manim.__version__)'
Render hangs or is very slow

Use -ql for iteration; -qh only at end. Check ffmpeg presence.

Vérifier : ffmpeg -version
Weird layout — objects overlap

Use positioning primitives (next_to, align_to) rather than raw coords
