Context

Three commits improve the manim-video skill:

  • 447ec076 — Expands references with comprehensive Manim CE and 3b1b patterns
  • b26e7fd4 — Recommends monospace fonts (proportional fonts have broken kerning in Pango)
  • 084cd1f8 — General manim skill improvements

Acceptance Criteria

  • Verify skill loads correctly: Run hermes skills load manim-video or inspect the skill, confirm it includes the updated references and font guidance
  • Generate a test animation: Use the skill to create a simple Manim animation, confirm it renders without Pango/font errors (specifically no kerning warnings about proportional fonts)
  • Verify font recommendation: Check the skill content, confirm it explicitly recommends monospace fonts (e.g., "Monospace", "Consolas", "Source Code Pro") over proportional fonts

Why This Matters

Manim is our pipeline for mathematical and technical animations. Broken kerning makes videos look unprofessional. Good references help agents generate correct Manim CE code without trial-and-error.

Hints

  • The skill is at skills/manim-video/SKILL.md
  • Check skills_list for the full content
