Make a scientifically accurate, 3Blue1Brown-style explainer video (and optionally a matching slide deck) about research: a paper, a collection of papers, or the user's own experiments, project or study. English and/or Persian (Farsi), with a choice of no voice (text only), a free voice, the user's own recordings, or a paid OpenAI voice. Can run experiments to produce real images, charts and figures. Use when the user asks for an explainer, research video, paper video, video abstract…
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
# Research explainer Turns research into an animated video in the 3Blue1Brown style, built with Manim Community Edition, where every number on screen is traceable to a source and every image comes from real data. The same claims and assets can become a slide deck. **Visual first.** The motion is the explanation: objects split, stack, morph, slide across each other, collapse into chart points, and the camera moves to what matters. Words are labels. Voice and subtitles are optional layers on top; captions are not burned into the video unless the user asks (`"captions": "burn"`); an `.srt` file is always written. Plan every beat by what moves before deciding what is said. **House rules and the critique loop.** Most of a video's quality comes from the setup around the model, not the request: banned generic looks, a reference to copy, springs, a beat grid, and scoring your own frames until every score is 8+. Read [references/motion.md](references/motion.md) before planning any video; it applies to explainers and launch videos. Bundled companions (install.sh puts them next to this skill): `manim-composer` (scene planning), `manimce-best-practices` …

How to install
mdr add sepi2p/research-explainer-skill/research-explainer@sha256:1821dfd984938f41The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.7433249, 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.
