Manim skill for Claude Code video workflows

This skill tells Claude Code how to make Manim videos in a loop: plan the scene structure, write the Python code, render the output, and try again from feedback. It is built around a structured workflow rather than a finished app, so the main value is the process Claude follows while creating animations.

151 stars•9 forks•HTML•Updated 7mo ago
Who it's for

Builders who want Claude Code to produce Manim animations with a repeatable plan-code-render-iterate flow.

What it delivers

You can have Claude Code draft, render, and refine Manim videos instead of manually managing each step.

What it does

Plan-first workflow

Lets Claude use plan mode or auto-structure the video into scenes before writing code.

Manim code generation

Claude writes the Python Manim code needed for the animation.

Render loop

Claude runs Manim until the scenes render successfully.

Feedback-based iteration

You can review the rendered video in a browser viewer and paste feedback back into Claude Code for revisions.

How to use

Manim Skill is designed to integrate seamlessly with Claude Code. Planning, coding and rendering all happen on claude code.

  1. Plan - A better plan leads to a better video. You can use claude code's "plan mode" just like you would plan before coding. Without plan mode, Claude will design the video structure with scenes automatically.
  2. Code and Render - Claude writes Manim code in Python and runs Manim until all scenes render successfully.
  3. Iterate - Claude opens video viewers in your browser and you can provide feedback and paste it into Claude Code. Then it will refine the video based on your feedback.
