manim-skill

Name: manim-skill (Claude Skill)
Author: Yusuke710

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.

Por que usar

Principais recursos

Autonomous plan → write → render → refine loop
Scene library patterns for common math / CS visuals
Invokes local manim install (CE)
Handles low-quality preview vs high-quality final renders
Iterates on feedback ('make the graph animate left-to-right')

Casos de uso

Usos do mundo real: manim-skill

Animate the intuition behind a math or CS concept

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

Quando usar: A concept is easier with motion than with words (gradient descent, sorting, Fourier).

Fluxo

State the concept

Use manim-skill. Animate gradient descent on a 2D loss surface — ball rolling, learning rate visibly affects step size.✓ Copiado

→ Scene plan + code + low-q preview rendered
Iterate

Slower at first, faster once it's in the valley. Label the axes.✓ Copiado

→ Code updated, re-rendered preview
Final render

Looks good — render at 1080p60.✓ Copiado

→ High-q mp4 produced

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

Armadilhas

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

Combine com: filesystem

Build a series of scenes for a longer explainer

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

Quando usar: You have a 5-minute script and need 10+ scenes to go with it.

Fluxo

Feed the script

Use manim-skill. Here's my script. Break into scene beats and propose a Manim scene per beat.✓ Copiado

→ Ordered scene plan
Render in batches

Render scenes 1-3 at preview quality; show me.✓ Copiado

→ Three low-q mp4s
Consolidate

Ok, lock scenes 1-3. Move to 4-6.✓ Copiado

→ Work proceeds; locked scenes untouched

Resultado: A full scene library ready for final render.

Armadilhas

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

Combinações

Combine com outros MCPs para 10× de alavancagem

manim-skill + filesystem

Organize a project's scenes, renders, and drafts

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

Ferramentas

O que este MCP expõe

Ferramenta	Entradas	Quando chamar	Custo
plan_scenes	concept or script	First step on any new project	0
write_scene	scene spec	Per-scene code generation	0
render_manim	scene file, quality	Preview and final renders	local CPU/GPU
refine_scene	scene + feedback	Iterating on animation	0

Custo e limites

O que custa rodar

Cota de API: None
Tokens por chamada: Moderate — code iterations
Monetário: Free; local compute only
Dica: Always iterate at low quality. Final render once.

Segurança

Permissões, segredos, alcance

Armazenamento de credenciais: None

Saída de dados: None from skill

Solução de problemas

Erros comuns e correções

manim import errors

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

Verificar: python -c 'import manim; print(manim.__version__)'

Render hangs or is very slow

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

Verificar: ffmpeg -version

Weird layout — objects overlap

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

Alternativas

manim-skill vs. outros

Alternativa	Quando usar	Troca
After Effects / Motion Canvas	You want visual timeline tools	Not code; not LLM-friendly
paperbanana-skill	Static academic diagrams rather than animations	Different output
