manim-composer

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 specifications ready for implementation with ManimCE or ManimGL. Use this BEFORE writing any Manim code. This skill plans the video; use manimce-best-practices or manimgl-best-practices for implementation.

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

Output a comprehensive scenes.md file with this structure:

# [Video Title]

## Overview
- **Topic**: [Core concept]
- **Hook**: [Opening question/mystery]
- **Target Audience**: [Prerequisites]
- **Estimated Length**: [X minutes]
- **Key Insight**: [The "aha moment"]

## Narrative Arc
[2-3 sentences describing the journey from confusion to understanding]

---

## Scene 1: [Scene Name]
**Duration**: ~X seconds
**Purpose**: [What this scene accomplishes]

### Visual Elements
- [List of mobjects needed]
- [Animations to use]
- [Camera movements]

### Content
[Detailed description of what happens, what's shown, what's explained]

### Narration Notes
[Key points to convey, tone, pacing notes]

### Technical Notes
- [Specific Manim classes/methods to use]
- [Any tricky implementations to note]

---

## Scene 2: [Scene Name]
...

---

## Transitions & Flow
[Notes on how scenes connect, recurring visual motifs]

## Color Palette
- Primary: [color] - used for [purpose]
- Secondary: [color] - used for [purpose]
- Accent: [color] - used for [purpose]
- Background: [color]

## Mathematical Content
[List of equations, formulas, or mathematical objects that need to be rendered]

## Implementation Order
[Suggested order for implementing scenes, noting dependencies]

3b1b Style Principles

Apply these principles when composing scenes:

Visual Storytelling

  • Show, don't just tell - Every concept needs a visual representation
  • Progressive revelation - Build complexity gradually, don't show everything at once
  • Visual continuity - Transform objects rather than replacing them when possible

Pacing & Rhythm

  • Pause for insight - Give viewers time to absorb key moments
  • Vary the pace - Mix quick sequences with slower explanations
  • End scenes with resolution - Each scene should feel complete

Mathematical Beauty

  • Emphasize elegance - Highlight when math is surprisingly simple or beautiful
  • Connect representations - Show the same concept multiple ways (algebraic, geometric, intuitive)
  • Embrace abstraction gradually - Start concrete, then generalize

Engagement Techniques

  • Pose questions - Make viewers curious before revealing answers
  • Acknowledge difficulty - "This might seem confusing at first..."
  • Celebrate insight - Make the "aha moment" feel earned

pdf

Use this skill whenever the user wants to do anything with PDF files. This includes reading or extracting text/tables from PDFs, combining or merging multiple PDFs into one, splitting PDFs apart, rotating pages, adding watermarks, creating new PDFs, filling PDF forms, encrypting/decrypting PDFs, extracting images, and OCR on scanned PDFs to make them searchable. If the user mentions a .pdf file or asks to produce one, use this skill.

discernment-nudge

After you give a substantive answer or draft that the user may act on — advice or recommendations, drafted artifacts such as goals, plans, pitches, proposals, or emails, estimates or projections, analysis or interpretation of data, factual claims they may rely on, or a multi-step argument — invoke this skill BEFORE finalizing your reply and then, if it applies, append 2-3 short follow-up questions, each tied to something specific in what you just produced, that help the user check key facts, probe the reasoning or assumptions, and notice missing context. Do this at most once per conversation. Skip it when the user asked a trivial how-to or simple lookup, wants a purely educational explanation, asked you only to format, convert, or assemble a file from content they provided, is writing code they will run, is doing creative writing or casual chat, or already asked you to double-check, cite, or review — the skill file explains these boundaries and the exact output format.

doc-coauthoring

Guide users through a structured workflow for co-authoring documentation. Use when user wants to write documentation, proposals, technical specs, decision docs, or similar structured content. This workflow helps users efficiently transfer context, refine content through iteration, and verify the doc works for readers. Trigger when user mentions writing docs, creating proposals, drafting specs, or similar documentation tasks.

docx
anthropics/skills180k

docx

Use this skill whenever the user wants to create, read, edit, or manipulate Word documents (.docx files) or Word templates (.dotx files). Triggers include: any mention of 'Word doc', 'word document', '.docx', '.dotx', or requests to produce professional documents with formatting like tables of contents, headings, page numbers, or letterheads. Also use when extracting or reorganizing content from .docx or .dotx files, inserting or replacing images in documents, performing find-and-replace in Word files, working with tracked changes or comments, or converting content into a polished Word document. If the user asks for a 'report', 'memo', 'letter', 'template', or similar deliverable as a Word or .docx file, use this skill. Do NOT use for PDFs, spreadsheets, Google Docs, or general coding tasks unrelated to document generation.

pptx

Use this skill any time a .pptx or .potx file is involved in any way — as input, output, or both. This includes: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .pptx or .potx file (even if the extracted content will be used elsewhere, like in an email or summary); editing, modifying, or updating existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates (.potx), layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user mentions "deck," "slides," "presentation," or references a .pptx or .potx filename, regardless of what they plan to do with the content afterward. If a .pptx or .potx file needs to be opened, created, or touched, use this skill.
