Manim Personal Style

Combine scene composition (narrative-first planning) with ManimCE implementation best practices.

Workflow

Phase 0: Understand the request

• Ask targeted questions to capture audience, scope, length, style, assets, math depth, visual metaphors, narration, delivery format (mp4/gif), resolution/quality, and constraints (timeline, render limits).
• If the topic is specialized or likely outdated, do quick research before planning.
• Confirm any required brand or color palette.

Phase 1: Draft scenes.md (required before code)

• Always create scenes.md first (use templates/scenes-template.md).
• Break the video into clear scenes with purpose, visuals, narration notes, and technical notes.
• Include transitions, recurring motifs, and a color palette.
• If the user wants to skip planning, still provide a minimal scenes.md and ask for approval.
• After generating scenes.md, provide a concise overall summary plus per-scene highlights so the user can adjust.
