What problem does it solve? Turning a vague idea for a math or science explainer video into an implementable Manim animation plan is hard: creators struggle to structure narrative arcs, define scenes, and specify visual elements before writing any code. This Skill bridges that gap by producing a detailed scenes.md specification ready for ManimCE or ManimGL implementation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Concept Research & Clarification: Researches the topic, identifies the narrative hook and "aha moment", then asks targeted questions about audience, scope, length, and style. - Structured Scene Planning: Outputs a comprehensive scenes.md with per-scene duration, purpose, visual elements, narration notes, and technical Manim implementation notes. - 3Blue1Brown Style Guidance: Applies proven narrative patterns (mystery-to-resolution, build-up-to-payoff, two-perspectives) and visual techniques like progressive disclosure and transform-don't-replace. - Use Case: A user says "explain Fourier series like 3Blue1Brown" and receives a complete scene-by-scene plan with color palette, equations to render, transitions, and implementation order, ready to hand off to Manim coding. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to plan a 3Blue1Brown-style video explaining your chosen math or science topic and generate a scenes.md file.

Frequently Asked Questions about manim-composer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a Manim video before writing code?

Start by researching the topic and identifying the core insight, then clarify audience, length, and style with the user. Produce a scenes.md file specifying each scene's duration, visual elements, narration notes, and technical Manim classes to use.

What is a scenes.md file for Manim videos?

A scenes.md file is a structured video plan containing an overview, narrative arc, per-scene breakdowns with visual elements and technical notes, transitions, color palette, equations to render, and suggested implementation order. It serves as the specification for ManimCE or ManimGL implementation.

Does this skill write Manim code or just plan videos?

It only plans videos and produces the scenes.md specification; it does not write Manim code. For implementation, use dedicated ManimCE or ManimGL best-practices skills after the plan is complete.

What makes a 3Blue1Brown style math video effective?

Effective videos show rather than tell, build complexity gradually, transform objects instead of replacing them, and use consistent color to encode meaning. They follow narrative patterns like mystery-to-resolution and include an emotional arc from curiosity to a satisfying aha moment.

When should I not use scene planning for animations?

Skip formal scene planning for quick one-off animations, simple single-concept demos, or when iterating rapidly on visual ideas directly in code. The planning phase adds the most value for multi-scene narrative videos of five minutes or longer.
