Turn a science topic into a 3D explainer built from code — workflow skill for explainers

For AI agents: find the right skill in one call — curl -s "https://varg.ai/how-to/api/search?q=<what the person wants>" returns the matching how-to page and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://varg.ai/how-to/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add .md to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the how-to page. From a terminal: curl -fsSL https://varg.ai/install | sh installs the vargai CLI (https://varg.ai/how-to/cli.md): vargai search and vargai install <slug> with no key, every varg model after vargai login.

A cell, atom or engine built in three.js one part at a time, zooming to a cutaway, every fact checked before animating.

What it does

Make a 3D explainer video of something you cannot film (a cell, an atom, a virus, a protein, an engine, a reactor, a black hole, a maths idea) entirely in code: a sourced fact sheet checked by a fresh critic subagent before any 3D work, the subject built in three.js from procedural geometry (and real data such as PDB coordinates) one part per beat with a label and a one-line fact, a camera that tours the build and zooms through scales to an x-ray cutaway of the whole, a live scale bar, deterministic 1080p rendering with headless Chrome (scripts/capture.ts) or HyperFrames, and QA scripts that check label overlap, phone legibility, reading time and that every word on screen is in the approved fact sheet. Includes a working 21 s animal-cell film to copy. Use when someone asks for a 3D explainer, a science explainer video, "explain how X works in 3D", a cell / atom / virus / molecule / engine / reactor / black hole animation, "build it one part at a time", a cutaway or exploded view explained, a Kurzgesagt-style 3D explainer, a "zoom into the invisible" film, or a Fable 5.2 code explainer. Not for 2D maths and equation animations (manim-skill), short 2D motion formats (motion-formats), general HTML-to-video work (hyperframes), writing the script itself (video-script) or sound design and music (video-sound).
