Workflow

Phase 1: Understand the Concept

1. **Research the topic** deeply before asking questions

Use web search to understand the core concepts

Identify the key insights that make this topic interesting

Find the "aha moment" - what makes this click for learners

Note common misconceptions to address

2. **Identify the narrative hook**

What question does this video answer?

Why should the viewer care?

What's the surprising or counterintuitive element?

Phase 2: Clarify with User

Ask targeted questions (not all at once - adapt based on responses):

**Audience & Scope**

What math/science background should I assume? (e.g., "knows calculus" or "high school algebra")

Target video length? (short: 5-10min, medium: 15-20min, long: 30min+)

Should this be self-contained or part of a series?

**Focus & Depth**

Any specific aspects to emphasize or skip?

Proof-heavy or intuition-focused?

Real-world applications to include?

**Style Preferences**

Color scheme preferences?

Narration style? (casual, formal, playful)

Any specific visual metaphors you have in mind?

Phase 3: Create scenes.md

Output a comprehensive `scenes.md` file with this structure:

# [Video Title]

3b1b Style Principles

Apply these principles when composing scenes:

Visual Storytelling

**Show, don't just tell** - Every concept needs a visual representation

**Progressive revelation** - Build complexity gradually, don't show everything at once

**Visual continuity** - Transform objects rather than replacing them when possible

Pacing & Rhythm

**Pause for insight** - Give viewers time to absorb key moments

**Vary the pace** - Mix quick sequences with slower explanations

**End scenes with resolution** - Each scene should feel complete

Mathematical Beauty

**Emphasize elegance** - Highlight when math is surprisingly simple or beautiful

**Connect representations** - Show the same concept multiple ways (algebraic, geometric, intuitive)

**Embrace abstraction gradually** - Start concrete, then generalize

Engagement Techniques

**Pose questions** - Make viewers curious before revealing answers

**Acknowledge difficulty** - "This might seem confusing at first..."

**Celebrate insight** - Make the "aha moment" feel earned
