What it does
Manim Video is an agent skill from CoWork-OS/CoWork-OS. Plan, scaffold, and render Manim Community Edition explainer videos for math, algorithms, technical concepts, and data stories.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/full-guidance.md`, `references/troubleshooting.md` and `scripts/bootstrap_project.py`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video production. It works with Manim. The repository describes itself as: Local-first personal agentic OS and everything app for coding, knowledge work, web design, automations, and artifacts. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Video production
Example prompts
- “/manim-video”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A Bash shell
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0ace02b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python and Shell), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Manim Video loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 360 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
The full file from CoWork-OS/CoWork-OS at commit 0ace02b, republished under its MIT licence (© CoWork-OS). 360 words, ~1,058 tokens.

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
- Edit this talking-head video and add B-roll.
- Design a static system diagram for this architecture review.
- Brainstorm three animation concepts, but do not create code or project files.
- Do not use manim-video for unrelated copywriting or generic video-editing work.

Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| topic | string | Yes | What the animation should explain or visualize |
| mode | select | No | Video pattern: auto, concept-explainer, equation-derivation, algorithm-visualization, data-story, architecture-diagram, paper-explainer, 3d-visualization |
| audience | string | No | Target audience for pacing and explanation depth |
| target_length_seconds | string | No | Approximate runtime in seconds |
| output_dir | string | No | Workspace-relative or absolute project directory |
| voiceover | select | No | Whether to scaffold a voiceover script |
Workflow Notes
- Run
scripts/setup.shfirst. This is mandatory before claiming the project is render-ready. - Use
scripts/bootstrap_project.pyto create or refresh the initial project shape instead of hand-rolling boilerplate. - Keep
plan.mdandscript.pyaligned. If the scene list changes, update both. - Default to draft render quality first. Production render is the last step, not the first.
Reference Map
references/full-guidance.md: planning rubric, scene design rules, code patterns, render flow, and review checklistreferences/troubleshooting.md: install issues, LaTeX/render failures, and debug movesscripts/setup.sh: environment preflight for Python, Manim, LaTeX, and ffmpegscripts/bootstrap_project.py: deterministic scaffold generator for a new Manim project
