> AI agent skills and rules for generating Manim math animations

manim\_skill provides structured rules, best practices, and code examples for both Manim Community Edition and ManimGL. Installed via skills.sh, it gives AI coding assistants the context needed to write accurate 3Blue1Brown-style mathematical animations from prompts without hallucinating framework-specific syntax.

## What it is for

- Equip AI agents like Claude Code or Cursor to write valid Manim scripts
- Generate visual explainer animations for math and machine learning concepts via natural language prompts
- Reference tested patterns and API differences between ManimCE and ManimGL

## Features

- Supports both Manim Community Edition (ManimCE) and Grant Sanderson's ManimGL
- Modular rules covering animations, scene structure, mobjects, 3D rendering, and camera movement
- One-command installation into AI coding tools using the skills.sh CLI (\`npx skills add\`)
- Tested working code examples and automated test suites to verify syntax across versions
- Comprehensive comparison guides outlining class, import, and CLI differences between both frameworks
