# Auto Pop-Sci

Generate broadcast-quality science popularization videos from a topic prompt.
Stack: Manim + edge-tts + ffmpeg.

## Parameters

Ask the user (defaults in parentheses):

| Param | Values | Default |
|-------|--------|---------|
| topic | any subject | (required) |
| language | `zh-CN`, `en-US`, `ja-JP`, ... | `zh-CN` |
| duration | `5min`, `10min`, `15min` | `10min` |
| audience | `general`, `cs-student`, `advanced` | `cs-student` |
| voice | edge-tts voice name | `zh-CN-YunxiNeural` |

## Prerequisites Check

Before starting, verify the user has these installed:

```bash
uv --version          # Package manager
ffmpeg -version       # Audio/video processing
latex --version       # For Manim's MathTex (or xelatex)
```

## Workflow

### Phase 0 -- Scaffold the project

**Important**: Create the project directory OUTSIDE any existing uv workspace,
otherwise `uv init` adds it as a workspace member instead of standalone.

```bash
mkdir <topic> && cd <topic>
uv init --name <topic>-animation --python ">=3.11"
uv add manim==0.20.1 edge-tts
mkdir animation
rm -f main.py   # uv init creates a default main.py -- delete it
```

Create `animation/base.py` by reading the scaffold file from this skill's directory.
The file is at: `<this_skill_directory>/scaffold/animation/base.py`
To find the skill directory, resolve the path of this SKILL.md file.

If you cannot find the scaffold file, copy `animation/base.py` from any
