manim-video

Build reusable Manim explainers for technical concepts, graphs, system diagrams, and product walkthroughs, then hand off to the wider ECC video stack if needed. Use when the user wants a clean animated explainer rather than a generic talking-head script.

Quality

Content

86%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A tight, well-structured skill body that externalizes scene code appropriately and provides a runnable entry point. The main gap is the absence of an explicit render/validation feedback loop in the workflow.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is lean and sectioned with terse bullets, assumes Claude knows Manim, and avoids explaining what the library is; every section earns its tokens.	5 / 5
Actionability	A copy-paste smoke-test command (`manim -ql assets/network_graph_scene.py NetworkGraphExplainer`) plus a real starter asset give concrete entry points, but most workflow guidance is instructional rather than executable code, leaving minor gaps.	4 / 5
Workflow Clarity	The seven-step Workflow plus Render Conventions give a clear sequence with implicit checkpoints (smoke test first, upgrade only after timing is stable), but there is no explicit validate-then-proceed feedback loop.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	A well-organized overview SKILL.md points to a single real, one-level-deep bundle file (assets/network_graph_scene.py) via a clearly signaled markdown link, with no nested references and scene code correctly externalized.	5 / 5

Description

83%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, third-person description that clearly defines the skill's purpose and gives an explicit, contrastive trigger. Minor gains are possible in action variety and trigger synonyms.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	"Build reusable Manim explainers for technical concepts, graphs, system diagrams, and product walkthroughs, then hand off to the wider ECC video stack" lists several concrete action areas across multiple domains, but the actions reduce to build/hand-off rather than a comprehensive set of distinct operations.	4 / 5
Completeness	It explicitly states what ("Build reusable Manim explainers...") and gives a concrete "Use when the user wants a clean animated explainer rather than a generic talking-head script" trigger, satisfying both halves with specific phrasing.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Natural terms like "animated explainer", "graphs", "system diagrams", "product walkthroughs", and "landing page" map well to what a user would say, though a few common synonyms (e.g. "animation", "diagram") are missing and no file-extension triggers apply.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The Manim niche and the "rather than a generic talking-head script" contrast carve a clear lane, but explicit hand-off to the related ECC video stack leaves minor overlap risk with those sibling skills.	4 / 5
