explainer-video

v0.2.9

Short explainer videos made with ManimCE, narrated when the speech plugin is installed and silent otherwise. The produce skill plans the beats, writes one scene script whose scene changes follow the narration's word timings, renders at low quality first, muxes narration and captions with ffmpeg, and checks every render with ffprobe and a frame read-back. A SessionStart hook installs the hash-locked Python packages; the check skill reports readiness.

Included Skills2

checkskills/check/SKILL.md

Read-only check that explainer-video can render: Python 3.12 or 3.13, the hash-locked ManimCE packages the SessionStart hook installs, ffmpeg and ffprobe. Use when: 'is explainer-video ready', 'check the explainer-video prerequisites', a session-start notice says its packages could not be installed, /explainer-video:produce stops with a repair line, or before a first render. Does not install.

produceskills/produce/SKILL.md

Produce a short explainer video with ManimCE, narrated when the speech plugin is installed: plan the beats, write the narration and one scene script, time each scene change to the narration's word timings, render at low quality, mux the audio with ffmpeg, add captions, and check the file before calling it done (ffprobe streams and duration, a frame read back after every animation, overlapping text and elements cut off by the frame edge). Without the speech plugin it renders a silent video. Use when: 'make an explainer video', 'narrated explainer', 'animate this concept', 'Manim video of', 'render a math animation', 'turn this explanation into a video', 'silent explainer clip'. Not for hand-drawn film from style packs (use /animation:produce).
