ecmanim-studio

name	ecmanim-studio
description	Run ecmanim's live-reload dev server (startStudio() from ecmanim/studio — serves a Scene in a <manim-player>, watches files, and hot-reloads the browser via SSE on save) and convert a defineSchema() spec into props-panel control descriptors (schemaToControls() — data only). Use this skill when the user wants a local live-preview loop for a Scene, or wants prop controls derived from a schema. Also use it when the user asks for heavier "studio" features — checkpoint replay, mouse camera pan/zoom/orbit, an in-page eval REPL, or a rendered props-panel UI — because none of those are implemented yet; this skill states that plainly instead of overselling.

ecmanim-studio

Child skill of ecmanim (read ../ecmanim/SKILL.md first for the shared Plan→Code→Render→Verify→Iterate loop and checkhealth-first convention — not repeated here). This skill covers the ecmanim/studio subpath: a live-reload dev server and a schema→controls data helper. Full detail, read before asserting an API shape: ../../docs/authoring-studio.md (the ecmanim/studio half of that file).

What Studio is today, honestly

Quoting the docs verbatim, because this is the single most important thing to get right when talking about Studio:

What Studio is today, honestly: the hot-reload dev server above and the schemaToControls data layer below — that's it. The heavier features you might expect from a "studio" are not implemented: no checkpoint replay (every save re-renders the whole scene from scratch), no mouse camera pan/zoom/orbit, no in-page eval REPL, and no rendered props-panel UI (only the control descriptors exist; nothing draws them). These are planned on top of this foundation.
