Solid

Trigger when: (1) User wants to create an educational/explainer video, (2) User has a vague concept they want visualized, (3) User mentions "3b1b style" or "explain like 3Blue1Brown", (4) User wants to plan a Manim video or animation sequence, (5) User asks to "compose" or "plan" a math/science visualization. Transforms vague video ideas into detailed scene-by-scene plans (scenes.md). Conducts research, asks clarifying questions about audience/scope/focus, and outputs comprehensive scene specifications ready for implementation with ManimCE or ManimGL. Use this BEFORE writing any Manim code. This skill plans the video; use manimce-best-practices or manimgl-best-practices for implementation.

## Workflow ### Phase 1: Understand the Concept 1. **Research the topic** deeply before asking questions - Use web search to understand the core concepts - Identify the key insights that make this topic interesting - Find the "aha moment" - what makes this click for learners - Note common misconceptions to address 2. **Identify the narrative hook** - What question does this video answer? - Why should the viewer care? - What's the surprising or counterintuitive element? ### Phase 2: Clarify with User Ask targeted questions (not all at once - adapt based on responses): **Audience & Scope** - What math/science background should I assume? (e.g., "knows calculus" or "high school algebra") - Target video length? (short: 5-10min, medium: 15-20min, long: 30min+) - Should this be self-contained or part of a series? **Focus & Depth** - Any specific aspects to emphasize or skip? - Proof-heavy or intuition-focused? - Real-world applications to include? **Style Preferences** - Color scheme preferences? - Narration style? (casual, formal, playful) - Any specific visual metaphors you have in mind? ### Phase 3: Create scenes.md Output a comprehensive `scenes.md` file with this structure: ```markdown # [Video Title] ## Overview - **Topic**: [Core concept] - **Hook**: [Opening question/mystery] - **Target Audience**: [Prerequisites] - **Estimated Length**: [X minutes] - **Key Insight**: [The "aha moment"] ## Narrative Arc [2-3 sentences describing the journey ...
