Plan, scaffold, and render Manim Community Edition explainer videos for math, algorithms, technical concepts, and data stories.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Manim Video

## Purpose

Build production-ready Manim CE explainer videos with a stronger workflow than a plain prompt: dependency preflight, deterministic project scaffolding, render helpers, and artifact manifests.

## Routing

- Use when: Use when the user asks to create a Manim animation, 3Blue1Brown-style explainer, animated math walkthrough, equation derivation, algorithm visualization, technical concept video, or animated data story.
- Do not use when: Do not use for live-action editing, generic marketing motion graphics, static diagrams, or requests that only want conceptual brainstorming without renderable outputs.
- Outputs: A workspace-local Manim project with `plan.md`, `script.py`, render helpers, and run artifacts.
- Success criteria: The project is scaffolded, the script is renderable, dependency gaps are called out, and the next render command is explicit.

## Trigger Examples

### Positive

- Make a 3Blue1Brown-style Manim video explaining gradient descent.
- Build a Manim animation that walks through Dijkstra's algorithm.
- Create an animated equation derivation video in Manim CE.
- Use the manim-video skill for this request.

### Negative

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cowork-os/cowork-os/manim-video@sha256:e43bb155aadbed1a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
