Manim Skill

This skill provides comprehensive capabilities for generating mathematical animations. It consolidates best practices for both Manim Community Edition and ManimGL.

📚 Libraries

• Manim Community (manim): Use for production, education, and stability. from manim import *
• ManimGL (manimgl): Use for 3D, interactive scenes, and performance. from manimlib import *

🚀 How to Use

This skill repository contains detailed rule files. When writing Manim code, refer to the following paths for patterns:

Manim Community Edition

• Animations: manimce-best-practices/rules/animations.md
• Scenes: manimce-best-practices/rules/scenes.md
• Text/LaTeX: manimce-best-practices/rules/text.md

ManimGL

• 3D Scenes: manimgl-best-practices/rules/3d.md
• Camera: manimgl-best-practices/rules/camera.md
• Interactive: manimgl-best-practices/rules/interactive.md

🛠️ Usage Protocol

1. Choose the Library: Decide between CE (2D/Standard) or GL (3D/Performance).
2. Review Rules: Read the relevant best practice file before generating code.
3. Execute: Use the manim or manimgl CLI to render.

📦 Dependencies

Ensure FFmpeg and LaTeX are installed.
