docs(manim-video): add 5 new reference files — design thinking, updaters, paper explainer, decorations, production quality
Five new reference files expanding the skill from rendering knowledge
into production methodology:
animation-design-thinking.md (161 lines):
When to animate vs show static, concept decomposition into visual
beats, pacing rules, narration sync, equation reveal strategies,
architecture diagram patterns, common design mistakes.
updaters-and-trackers.md (260 lines):
Deep ValueTracker mental model, lambda/time-based/always_redraw
updaters, DecimalNumber and Variable live displays, animation-based
updaters, 4 complete practical patterns (dot tracing, live area,
connected diagram, parameter exploration).
paper-explainer.md (255 lines):
Full workflow for turning research papers into animations. Audience
selection, 5-minute template, pre-code gates (narration, scene list,
style contract), equation reveal strategies, architecture diagram
building, results animation, domain-specific patterns for ML/physics/
biomedical papers.
decorations.md (202 lines):
SurroundingRectangle, BackgroundRectangle, Brace, arrows (straight,
curved, labeled), DashedLine, Angle/RightAngle, Cross, Underline,
color highlighting workflows, annotation lifecycle pattern.
production-quality.md (190 lines):
Pre-code, pre-render, post-render checklists. Text overlap prevention,
spatial layout coordinate budget, max simultaneous elements, animation
variety audit, tempo curve, color consistency, data viz minimums.
Total skill now: 14 reference files, 2614 lines.
