Made by your agent¶
A short introduction to manimvox, made with manimvox: what it is, why it has the agent write code instead of calling tools, and how to use it from a coding agent.
Made by Claude Code with manimvox
This video was made by Claude Code with manimvox. A person asked for it and approved the script; the agent wrote the facts, the script and the episode, drafted it, read its own checks and rendered it.
What it covers¶
- What manimvox is: a library and command line for narrated, animated explainer videos. Manim draws the picture, a voice tells the story, and checks catch mistakes. Eleven skills teach an agent to make a video from a paper, an idea, a codebase or a pull request.
- Why code, not tools: three studies on agents that write code instead of calling tools one at a time. Each is quoted with its source on screen, as manimvox's facts rule requires.
- How to use it: two commands, one request to your agent, and the workflow it follows (sources, facts, script, episode code, draft and checks, render), ending on footage of Inside the heart, made exactly that way.
The prompt¶
"Add another gallery video: a single video explaining how to use manimvox with agents. Start with a brief explanation of manimvox and why it was built this way, from the Anthropic and Cloudflare studies, and show a demo of using manimvox from an agent like Claude Code."
