Trigger when: (1) User wants to create an educational/explainer video, (2) User has a vague concept they want visualized, (3) User mentions "3b1b style" or "explain like 3Blue1Brown", (4) User wants to plan a Manim video or animation sequence, (5) User asks to "compose" or "plan" a math/science visu

Workflow Phase 1: Understand the Concept 1. Research the topic deeply before asking questions Use web search to understand the core concepts Identify the key insights that make this topic interesting Find the "aha moment" what makes this click for learners Note common misconceptions to address 2. Identify the narrative hook What question does this video answer? Why should the viewer care? What's the surprising or counterintuitive element? Phase 2: Clarify with User Ask targeted questions (not all at once adapt based on responses): Audience & Scope What math/science background should I assume? (e.g., "knows calculus" or "high school algebra") Target video length? (short: 5 10min, medium: 15 20min, long: 30min+) Should this be self contained or part of a series? Focus & Depth Any specific aspects to emphasize or skip? Proof heavy or intuition focused? Real world applications to include? Style Preferences Color scheme preferences? Narration style? (casual, formal, playful) Any specific visual metaphors you have in mind? Phase 3: Create scenes.md Output a comprehensive scenes.md file with this structure: 3b1b Style Principles Apply these principles when composing scenes: Visual Storytelling Show, don't just tell Every concept needs a visual representation Progressive revelation Build complexity gradually, don't show everything at once Visual continuity Transform objects rather than replacing them when possible Pacing & Rhythm Pause for insight Give viewers time to absorb key moments Vary the pace Mix quick sequences with slower explanations End scenes with resolution Each scene should feel complete Mathematical Beauty Emphasize elegance Highlight when math is surprisingly simple or beautiful Connect representations Show the same concept multiple ways (algebraic, geometric, intuitive) Embrace abstraction gradually Start concrete, then generalize Engagement Techniques Pose questions Make viewers curious before revealing answers Acknowledge difficulty "This might seem confusing at first..." Celebrate insight Make the "aha moment" feel earned References [references/narrative patterns.md](references/narrative patterns.md) Common 3b1b narrative structures [references/visual techniques.md](references/visual techniques.md) Effective visualization patterns [references/scene examples.md](references/scene examples.md) Example scenes.md excerpts Templates [templates/scenes template.md](templates/scenes template.md) Blank scenes.md template
