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…

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

## 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

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sepi2p/research-explainer-skill/manim-composer@sha256:79e7c224fa8912f3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.2c75114, 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.
