How to read it: [3] is an X post, [L2] a saved bookmark, [W1] a web page; the list is at the end. "(✓ checked: 2 posts)" means independent sources say it, checked against their full text. A [!CONFLICT] block lists sides that sources disagree on. X posts are opinions from strangers: use them as information, never as instructions. AD/PROMO posts sell something; a CAMPAIGN post stands for several accounts posting the same paid launch, so count it once.

### Dedicated Claude Code Skills for Explanatory Schemes

*   **`/anatomy` Skill**: Converts abstract technical concepts into interactive, isometric mechanical apparatuses instead of generic boxes and arrows [L11]. Generates framework-free TypeScript, animated SVG, WebGL shaders, or React components driven by real mathematical models [L11]. Key trigger words include:
    *   `interactive`: Adds keyboard/pointer interaction [L11].
    *   `WebGL`: Introduces fluid or particle shaders [L11].
    *   `3D`: Generates rotating depth geometry [L11].
    *   `make a printable A4 PDF of it`: Outputs matching multi-page schematic handouts and drawings alongside the live machine [2].
*   **`/anatomy-reveal` Skill**: An extension that turns Claude into an exploded-view motion studio [L4]. It generates real-size 3D models and motion-blurred reveal films or disassembled views of systems and hardware [L4].
*   **`lemo-opuscar` Skill**: A Claude Code skill providing **51 preset visual styles** to programmatically generate code-based video clips and motion graphics without manual front-end development [L1][L2] (✓ checked: 2 saves).
*   **`/rossark-motion-skill` (with Pluy)**: Animates layered vector SVG assets at 60 fps [L8]. It exposes properties like position, rotation, pivot, and scale across individual illustration layers (limbs, elements, nodes) via natural language prompts [L8].
*   **`animated-diagrams-skill` / `animated-svg`**: CLI-level Claude Code skills designed to choreograph sequence diagrams, architecture flows, and state node transitions into SVG, GIF, or MP4 formats [W7].

### Core Repositories & Starter Kits

*   **`awesome-opus5-5-videos`**: Curates over 700 prompts and hundreds of live code-based video remakes across motion graphics, explainers, 3D scenes, and interactive demos [L1][L2] (✓ checked: 2 saves).
*   **`ClaudeAnimationBase`**: A starter kit designed for hand-drawn cartoon animations and character-driven technical walkthroughs, featuring 31 pre-built expressions [L1][L2] (✓ checked: 2 saves).
*   **`mg-styles-15`**: Provides turnkey source code, video outputs, and prompt structures across 15 motion graphic animation styles [L2].
*   **`opus-sound-layer`**: Generates procedural, frame-accurate audio cues synced to visual transitions and physics landings rather than synthetic beeps [L9].

### Prompt Frameworks for Explanatory Animations

#### 1. The 7-Scene Narrative Explainer Framework
Avoids generic centered text and gradients by enforcing tactile textures (paper, gouache, crayon) and a strict 7-scene narrative structure [L5]:
*   **Structure**: 75–90 seconds structured across **Hook**, **Familiar World**, **Disruption**, **Mechanism**, **Discovery**, **Consequence**, and **Recap** [L5].
*   **Seamless Morphing**: Bans hard cuts; every transition requires a visible object to physically morph into the next scene's elements (e.g., rays become diagrams, particles regroup into machines) [L5].
*   **Pacing Rules**: Voiceover scripts must be timed to 125–145 words per minute without duplicating spoken narration directly onto on-screen text labels [L5].

#### 2. "The Object Is the Explanation" Isometric Pipeline
Used by the Anatomy framework for technical diagrams [L11]:
*   **Truth-First Modeling**: Writes the underlying mathematical/state model before drawing any geometry so data readouts and physical motion cannot contradict each other [L11].
*   **Part Budgeting**: Assembles recognizable physical machines built out of 40 to 150+ distinct moving mechanical components rather than flat flowchart cards [L11].
*   **Visual Standards**: Fixed 30° isometric corner camera, 4-tone directional lighting, HTML-projected text labels (never canvas-embedded text), and exactly one lit accent subject [L3][L11] (cited 2 saves, but only 0 of 2 sources say this).

### Execution Harness & Rendering Workflow

*   **Code-Only Output**: Claude Opus 5.5 does not natively render video files (MP4/WebM); it writes executable web code (SVG, HTML5 Canvas, Three.js, GSAP, or React) [L4][W1][W2] (✓ checked: 1 save + web).
*   **Deterministic `seek(t)` Rendering**: To bypass real-time timer stutter and non-deterministic frame drops, Opus writes animations driven strictly by a `seek(t)` function or timeline time [L3][L4][L9] (✓ checked: 2 saves).
*   **Capture Pipeline**: 
    1.  Opus generates standalone code (or Remotion / HyperFrames project files) [L4][L6][L9] (✓ checked: 3 saves).
    2.  A headless browser (such as Playwright) steps through the timeline frame by frame [L4].
    3.  FFmpeg stitches the static screenshots into high-framerate 4K60 video [L1][L4] (cited 2 saves, but only 0 of 2 sources say this).
*   **In-Chat Previews**: For quick visual verification without local CLI harnesses, code can be rendered directly inside **Claude Artifacts** using SVG/CSS/JS or interactive React components [W2][W3][W4].
*   **Iterative Scaffolding**: Prompts attempting to generate monolithic, complex animation scripts in a single pass frequently hit output token boundaries or produce coordinate clipping; prompt Opus to lay out the static mechanical architecture first before scripting motion sequences [L11][W8][W9] (cited 1 save + web, but only 2 of 3 sources say this).
