manim-composer: Скилл для планирования анимации

--- name: manim-composer description: | Trigger when: (1) User wants to create an educational/explainer video, (2) User has a vague concept they want visualized, (3) User mentions "3b1b style" or "explain like 3Blue1Brown", (4) User wants to plan a Manim video or animation sequence, (5) User asks to "compose" or "plan" a math/science visualization. Transforms vague video ideas into detailed scene-by-scene plans (scenes.md). Conducts research, asks clarifying questions about audience/scope/focus, and outputs comprehensive scene specifications ready for implementation with ManimCE or ManimGL. Use this BEFORE writing any Manim code. This skill plans the video; use manimce-best-practices or manimgl-best-practices for implementation. --- ## Workflow ### Phase 1: Understand the Concept 1. **Research the topic** deeply before asking questions - Use web search to understand the core concepts - Identify the key insights that make this topic interesting - Find the "aha moment" - what makes this click for learners - Note common misconceptions to address 2. **Identify the narrative hook** - What question does this video answer? - Why should the viewer care? - What's the surprising or counterintuitive element? ### Phase 2: Clarify with User Ask targeted questions (not all at once - adapt based on responses): **Audience & Scope** - What math/science background should I assume? (e.g., "knows calculus" or "high school algebra") - Target video length? (short: 5-10min, medium: 15-20min, long: 30min+) - Should this be self-contained or part of a series? **Focus & Depth** - Any specific aspects to emphasize or skip? - Proof-heavy or intuition-focused? - Real-world applications to include? **Style Preferences** - Color scheme preferences? - Narration style? (casual, formal, playful) - Any specific visual metaphors you have in mind? ### Phase 3: Create scenes.md Output a comprehensive `scenes.md` file with this structure: ```markdown # [Video Title] ## Overview - **Topic**: [Core concept] - **Hook**: [Opening question/mystery] - **Target Audience**: [Prerequisites] - **Estimated Length**: [X minutes] - **Key Insight**: [The "aha moment"] ## Narrative Arc [2-3 sentences describing the journey from confusion to understanding] --- ## Scene 1: [Scene Name] **Duration**: ~X seconds **Purpose**: [What this scene accomplishes] ### Visual Elements - [List of mobjects needed] - [Animations to use] - [Camera movements] ### Content [Detailed description of what happens, what's shown, what's explained] ### Narration Notes [Key points to convey, tone, pacing notes] ### Technical Notes - [Specific Manim classes/methods to use] - [Any tricky implementations to note] --- ## Scene 2: [Scene Name] ... --- ## Transitions & Flow [Notes on how scenes connect, recurring visual motifs] ## Color Palette - Primary: [color] - used for [purpose] - Secondary: [color] - used for [purpose] - Accent: [color] - used for [purpose] - Background: [color] ## Mathematical Content [List of equations, formulas, or mathematical objects that need to be rendered] ## Implementation Order [Suggested order for implementing scenes, noting dependencies] ``` ## 3b1b Style Principles Apply these principles when composing scenes: ### Visual Storytelling - **Show, don't just tell** - Every concept needs a visual representation - **Progressive revelation** - Build complexity gradually, don't show everything at once - **Visual continuity** - Transform objects rather than replacing them when possible ### Pacing & Rhythm - **Pause for insight** - Give viewers time to absorb key moments - **Vary the pace** - Mix quick sequences with slower explanations - **End scenes with resolution** - Each scene should feel complete ### Mathematical Beauty - **Emphasize elegance** - Highlight when math is surprisingly simple or beautiful - **Connect representations** - Show the same concept multiple ways (algebraic, geometric, intuitive) - **Embrace abstraction gradually** - Start concrete, then generalize ### Engagement Techniques - **Pose questions** - Make viewers curious before revealing answers - **Acknowledge difficulty** - "This might seem confusing at first..." - **Celebrate insight** - Make the "aha moment" feel earned ## References - [references/narrative-patterns.md](references/narrative-patterns.md) - Common 3b1b narrative structures - [references/visual-techniques.md](references/visual-techniques.md) - Effective visualization patterns - [references/scene-examples.md](references/scene-examples.md) - Example scenes.md excerpts ## Templates - [templates/scenes-template.md](templates/scenes-template.md) - Blank scenes.md template
