Manim Video Teacher Skill

A skill package and helper scripts to turn prompts into Manim teaching videos with optional narration, muxing, and cover generation.

pip install -r requirements.txt

1. Render your Manim scene to a video file (example):

manim -qh your_scene.py YourScene

1. Run the pipeline (TTS + mux + cover):

python manim-video-teacher/scripts/pipeline.py \
  --video media/videos/your_scene/1080p60/YourScene.mp4 \
  --tts-file examples/narration.txt \
  --cover-title "Quadratic Vertex Form" \
  --cover-subtitle "Learn in 60s" \
  --output output.mp4

• manim-video-teacher/scripts/mux_av.py: Mux audio and video into a single MP4.
• manim-video-teacher/scripts/make_cover.py: Generate a simple 16:9 cover image.
• manim-video-teacher/scripts/pipeline.py: One-click pipeline for TTS, mux, and cover.

Requirements

Skill installation

Install the skill by placing the folder under your skills directory:

./scripts/install_skill.sh --dest /path/to/skills

If you are using Codex and have `$CODEX_HOME` set, you can omit `--dest`:

./scripts/install_skill.sh

Reinstall with overwrite:

./scripts/install_skill.sh --dest /path/to/skills --force

Preview the resolved install target:

./scripts/install_skill.sh --list

Install into a local `./skills` folder in the current directory:

./scripts/install_skill.sh --here

If a `./skills` folder already exists, the installer will use it by default.
