3d Brain Animations

Render 3D still images and rotating turntable animations of brain regions from ANY BrainGlobe atlas (mouse, rat, human, zebrafish, etc.), with optional glow/bloom highlighting and a semi-transparent whole-brain shell for context. Use this WHENEVER the user wants to visualize, render, picture, or animate brain anatomy: any species, any region (hippocampus, CA1, dentate gyrus, cortex, thalamus, amygdala, ...), any color, a glowing/highlighted region, a rotating brain video, or a neuroanatomy figure for a paper/thesis/slide — even if they don't mention Blender or BrainGlobe.

# 3D Brain Animations

Turns a natural-language request into a 3D brain figure or animation. All logic is in bundled
scripts; a render is two bash calls plus a small JSON spec. **Never write `bpy`/Blender code or
introspect the API — translate the request into a spec and call the scripts.** (macOS; Blender
installed. First use installs deps + the add-on and downloads the atlas, a few minutes; later
runs are instant.)

`scripts/run.sh` auto-locates the installed Blender. Use absolute paths to this skill.

## Translate the request, then run two commands

From the user's words, fill in a spec:

- **Species → atlas** (pass to `setup` and put in the spec as `atlas`):
  | says | atlas |
  |---|---|
  | mouse | `allen_mouse_25um` (small/fast test: `allen_mouse_100um`) |
  | rat | `whs_sd_rat_39um` |
  | human | `allen_human_500um` |
  | zebrafish | `mpin_zfish_1um` |
  | other / unsure | run `bash scripts/run.sh find <guess_atlas> <kw>`, or ask |

  If the user names a species without an atlas, use the standard one above and say which you chose.
- **Region(s)** are given by **atlas-specific acronym**. If the user uses plain words ("hippocampus",
  "dentate gyrus") or you're unsure of the acronym for *this* atlas, resolve it first:
  `bash scripts/run.sh find <atlas> <keyword>` → prints `acronym <tab> name`. (E.g. CA1 is `CA1`
  in Allen mouse but the rat atlas also has `DG`, `SUB`, etc.) After rendering, confirm each region

Turn a topic into a Chinese 16:9 teaching video (flat / cel component themes, or the journal / papercut / archive hand-made skins driven by a metaphor-first director layer) with React, TypeScript and Remotion. Every shot is a code-drawn component scene — consoles, diffs, checklists, stat rows, funnels, progress rings, kinetic numbers, stamp seals, verdict bars, or a real screenshot / screen recording in a MediaFrame — moved by an engine-level virtual camera that pushes in on whatever the narration names.

Edit raw talking-head footage into a finished video with Claude. Tight cuts that never clip a word, studio-clean voice, reframing and punch-ins, word-timed captions, and cinematic motion graphics written as code, all rendered frame-exact with ffmpeg and HyperFrames. Use when someone hands you a raw recording (camera file, optional separate mic) and asks to "edit this video", "cut my talking head", "add motion graphics", "clean up the audio" or "make this look edited".

Find out what YouTube actually agrees on about a topic, and what it has quietly stopped saying. Searches YouTube for a topic, pulls ~100 transcripts across both the top-ranking and the most recent videos, extracts every specific claim, clusters claims that say the same thing, then weights them by age to separate settled advice from current advice from expired advice. Produces a self-contained HTML report where every position is traceable to a timestamped source. Use when the user types /consensus, or asks what the consensus is on a topic, what most people/creators say about something, whether

Media Analysis

Measure deterministic facts about a media file (container, streams, video/audio format, silence, loudness, integrity, scene cuts, timing) with local ffprobe/ffmpeg and return a structured Observation. Use when a task needs to *know* something about a video or audio file before deciding anything: duration, resolution, fps, CFR/VFR, codecs, channel layout, where the silence is, how loud it is (LUFS / true peak), whether it decodes cleanly, where hard cuts are. Do not use it to edit, convert, normalise or export media (that is ffmpeg-skill) or to interpret the numbers (that is the agent). Python
