What breaks without openclaw manim skill
Bad LaTeX escaping. Wrong class inheritance. Broken rendering.

FAQ — openclaw manim skill
Does this work with the original 3b1b Manim or only ManimCE?
ManimCE only. The API diverged significantly.
Can the agent render the animation automatically?
With a shell execution skill, yes. Otherwise the agent produces Python code you run locally.
Is LaTeX strictly required?
Only for MathTex objects. Plain text animations work without it.
