manim-skill

автор 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.

Установка

Выберите клиент

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json  · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "manim-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/Yusuke710/manim-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/manim-skill"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Откройте Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Перезапустите после сохранения.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "manim-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",

      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor использует ту же схему mcpServers, что и Claude Desktop. Конфиг проекта приоритетнее глобального.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "manim-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/Yusuke710/manim-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/manim-skill"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Щёлкните значок MCP Servers на боковой панели Cline, затем "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "manim-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/Yusuke710/manim-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/manim-skill"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Тот же формат, что и Claude Desktop. Перезапустите Windsurf для применения.

~/.continue/config.json
{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "manim-skill",
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/Yusuke710/manim-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/manim-skill"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue использует массив объектов серверов, а не map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json
{
  "context_servers": {
    "manim-skill": {
      "command": {
        "path": "git",
        "args": [
          "clone",
          "https://github.com/Yusuke710/manim-skill",
          "~/.claude/skills/manim-skill"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Добавьте в context_servers. Zed перезагружается автоматически.

claude mcp add manim-skill -- git clone https://github.com/Yusuke710/manim-skill ~/.claude/skills/manim-skill

Однострочная команда. Проверить: claude mcp list. Удалить: claude mcp remove.

Сценарии использования

Реальные сценарии: manim-skill

Animate the intuition behind a math or CS concept

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

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

Предварительные требования
  • manim installed — pip install manim (or uv add manim); ensure ffmpeg present
  • Skill installed — git clone https://github.com/Yusuke710/manim-skill ~/.claude/skills/manim-skill
Поток
  1. State the concept
    Use manim-skill. Animate gradient descent on a 2D loss surface — ball rolling, learning rate visibly affects step size.✓ Скопировано
    → Scene plan + code + low-q preview rendered
  2. Iterate
    Slower at first, faster once it's in the valley. Label the axes.✓ Скопировано
    → Code updated, re-rendered preview
  3. Final render
    Looks good — render at 1080p60.✓ Скопировано
    → High-q mp4 produced

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

Подводные камни
  • Manim code has breaking changes across versions — Pin your manim version in requirements; the skill's prompts assume recent Community Edition
Сочетать с: filesystem

Build a series of scenes for a longer explainer

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

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

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

Итог: A full scene library ready for final render.

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

Комбинации

Сочетайте с другими MCP — эффект x10

manim-skill + filesystem

Organize a project's scenes, renders, and drafts

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

Устранение неполадок

Частые ошибки и исправления

manim import errors

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

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

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

Проверить: ffmpeg -version
Weird layout — objects overlap

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