Description
Everyone is making videos with Opus 5.5 right now (Sonnet 5.5 is also good at it), so I built a small open source kit to give you a head start. Just point Claude or Codex at the repo and say what the video should explain. It also makes great product demos.Examples: https://www.explainroo.com/videos/

Could you build this?
Yes It is an open-source framework / orchestration script that prompts Claude to produce animation scripts (e.g., Remotion or Manim code) and renders them into explainer videos.
