manim-animation	Manim animation workflow for math, science, education, explainer, and 3Blue1Brown-style knowledge videos. Use when the user asks for mathematical animations, diagrams, step-by-step visual proofs, concept explanations, or high-quality programmatic educational videos.

Manim Animation Skill

Use this skill when the video should explain a concept through programmatic animation.

Workflow

1. Convert the concept into a short storyboard: definitions, visual objects, transformations, and narration beats.
2. Keep each scene focused on one mathematical or conceptual transition.
3. Use Manim primitives for equations, axes, graphs, geometric objects, arrows, highlights, and camera motion.
4. Prefer clean timing, readable labels, and stepwise reveals over excessive effects.
5. Render short previews before final render when changing layout, camera, or equation density.

Good Fits

• Math and science explainers.
• 3Blue1Brown-style animations.
• Diagrammatic product or architecture explanations.
• Teaching clips where visual transformation is the core value.
