Create Manim (Python) animated explainers: algorithm step-throughs, math and equation walkthroughs, pipeline and data-flow diagrams, comparisons and timelines, rendered to MP4, WebM or GIF with optional audio overlay. Includes a template path that renders validated config data with no model call, plus output checks (ffprobe duration, fps, dimensions, full decode, sampled-frame review receipt). Use when asked to "create a video", "animate this", "make an explainer", "manim animation…

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

# Animate

Creates animated technical explainers with Manim, a Python animation engine. The scene `.py` file is the editable artifact: the user can read it, ask for changes, and re-render.

## Scope

| Request                                                                  | Handle here? |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------ |
| Algorithm, math, data-structure, pipeline, architecture, timeline, A-vs-B explainers | Yes — Manim |
| Config-driven pipeline, comparison or timeline video                     | Yes — template path, no model call |
| Overlay music or voiceover on a rendered Manim video                     | Yes — `scripts/add_audio.py` |
| HTML, CSS, GSAP or Hyperframes composition                               | No — an HTML-video tool, not this package |
| Explicit Manim request for branded or marketing content                   | Yes — honor the requested engine |
| React components or Remotion; generic branded/social video with no engine | No — default to a Remotion/React tool |
| Static infographic or image                                              | No — not animated video |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mathews-tom/armory/animate@sha256:2532b1bf04328827

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
