Teknium 9f1b1977bc docs(skills): salvage dropped trigger content into skill bodies
For 14 of 74 compressed skills, the original description contained
trigger keywords, technique counts, attribution, or use-case phrases
not covered by the existing body content. Prepends a 'When to use' /
'What's inside' block near the top so the agent still has the full
context when the skill is loaded.

Skills salvaged:
- codex, ascii-video, creative-ideation, excalidraw, manim-video, p5js
- gif-search, heartmula, youtube-content
- lm-evaluation-harness, obliteratus, vllm, axolotl
- powerpoint

Remaining 60 skills were verified to already cover the dropped content
in their existing body sections (When to Use, overview, intro prose)
or had short descriptions fully captured by the new compressed form.

Manim Video Skill

Production pipeline for mathematical and technical animations using Manim Community Edition.

What it does

Creates 3Blue1Brown-style animated videos from text prompts. The agent handles the full pipeline: creative planning, Python code generation, rendering, scene stitching, and iterative refinement.

Use cases

  • Concept explainers — "Explain how neural networks learn"
  • Equation derivations — "Animate the proof of the Pythagorean theorem"
  • Algorithm visualizations — "Show how quicksort works step by step"
  • Data stories — "Animate our before/after performance metrics"
  • Architecture diagrams — "Show our microservice architecture building up"

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+, Manim CE (pip install manim), LaTeX, ffmpeg.
