## Project Structure Create a dedicated folder for each animation project **in the user's current working directory** (NOT in this skill's base directory). Use this flat structure: ``` <project-name>/ ├── plan.md # Planning document (Phase 1) ├── script.py # Manim code (Phase 2) ├── concat.txt # ffmpeg scene list (Phase 3) ├── final.mp4 # Stitched output (Phase 3) └── media/ # Auto-generated by manim └── videos/ └── script/ └── 480p15/ # or 1080p60 ├── Scene1_Name.mp4 ├── Scene2_Name.mp4 └── ... ``` **Before starting**: Create the project folder and work from within it. All commands should be run from the project directory. ```bash mkdir -p <project-name> && cd <project-name> ``` ## Workflow Overview ``` Plan → Code → Render → Iterate ``` ### Phase 1: Plan **If the user has already used plan mode in claude code or provided detailed requirements, write that in `plan.md` and skip to Phase 2. Otherwise, you MUST carefully plan the video structure before writing code.** Before writing any Manim code, wrtie `plan.md`: ```markdown # [Video Title] ## Overview - **Topic**: [Core concept] - **Hook**: [Opening question/mystery] - **Target Audience**: [Prerequisites] - **Estimated Length**: [X minutes] - **Key Insight**: [The "aha moment"] - **Resolution**: [480p(default), 1080p] - **Aspect Ratio**: [16:9(default) / 9:16 / 1:1] ## Narrative Arc
