manimgl-best-practices

This skill is a best-practices and reference guide for ManimGL, Grant Sanderson's (3Blue1Brown) OpenGL-based mathematical animation engine, as distinct from Manim Community Edition. It solves the frequent confusion between the two Manim variants and the many API differences (for example `from manimlib import *` versus `from manim import`, and `ShowCreation` versus `Create`) by giving targeted guidance that triggers specifically on ManimGL usage, imports, and CLI commands.

It is structured as a large set of rule files (scenes, mobjects, animations, transforms, Tex and text, tex_to_color_map coloring, styling, 3D and camera control, interactive development, and CLI/config), a substantial library of complete worked example scripts (neural networks, attention mechanisms, physics, linear algebra, quantum gates, and more), copy-and-modify scene templates, and reference write-ups explaining the 3Blue1Brown scene-design thinking process. It documents the interactive workflow (the `-se` flag, `self.embed()`, `checkpoint_paste()`), camera frame control via `frame.reorient()`, and quick-reference render commands.

The target users are creators of mathematical and scientific animations, educators, and developers who work specifically with the 3b1b ManimGL toolchain and want idiomatic patterns and ready-made examples. Usage involves reading rule files, adapting example scenes, and invoking the `manimgl` CLI to render or preview animations. The only execution it implies is running the local manimgl renderer on scene files, which is a safe, developer-driven operation.
