Why this repository exists

Seedance 2.0 Skill OS is a modular agent-skill package for directing Seedance 2.0 video generations. It is built around a simple principle: direct the model, do not micro-manage the frame.

The repository gives an AI assistant a public, auditable operating system for Seedance work. It defines when to interview, when to write a compact prompt, when to load a technical reference, when to rewrite unsafe IP content, and when to troubleshoot a bad generation.

Start Here

User situation	Load first	Output
“I have a vague idea.”	seedance-interview	A focused creative brief and next prompt path.
“I know the scene I want.”	seedance-prompt	A production-ready Seedance prompt.
“Make it short and strong.”	seedance-prompt-short	A compressed 30–100 word prompt.
“I have an image/video/audio reference.”	reference-workflow	A role map for every reference asset.
“It failed or looks bad.”	seedance-troubleshoot	A root-cause diagnosis and repaired prompt.
“This uses a character, brand, celebrity, or real person.”	seedance-copyright	A safer rewrite preserving the creative function.

Current Status Rule

Seedance platform behavior changes quickly. Before making factual claims about API availability, face or portrait authorization, upload limits, pricing, regional availability, or model names, load references/api-status.md and check its last_verified date.

As of 2026-05-08, public official sources describe Seedance 2.0 as supporting text, image, audio, and video inputs, and BytePlus ModelArk publishes Seedance video-generation API documentation. Access, pricing, model IDs, upload limits, and authorization requirements remain surface-specific.

Skill Map

Core Pipeline

Skill	Use when
seedance-interview	The idea is vague, undeveloped, or needs creative direction.
seedance-interview-short	The user wants a fast brief, not a long interview.
seedance-prompt	The user needs a complete prompt from a clear concept.
seedance-prompt-short	The prompt must be compressed for stronger Seedance performance.
seedance-camera	Camera behavior, lens feel, shot scale, or movement must be specified.
seedance-motion	Body movement, object motion, choreography, or physical action matters.
seedance-lighting	Mood, time of day, atmosphere, or light transition drives the shot.
seedance-characters	Character identity, multi-character blocking, or consistency matters.
seedance-style	The user needs a visual style without unsafe studio/franchise borrowing.
seedance-vfx	Particles, destruction, energy, weather, magic, or transformation effects matter.
seedance-audio	Dialogue, lip-sync, music, ambience, or audio-reference behavior matters.
seedance-pipeline	The user asks about API, web workflow, ComfyUI, post-production, or integration.
seedance-recipes	The user wants a genre template or repeatable production recipe.
seedance-troubleshoot	Output quality is poor, unstable, blurry, off-prompt, or blocked.

Governance and Quality

Skill	Use when
seedance-copyright	Protected IP, public figures, real people, brands, logos, songs, or exact scenes appear.
seedance-antislop	Prompt language is generic, bloated, or filled with empty quality boosters.
seedance-filter	A prompt is blocked, degraded, or likely to trigger a content filter.

Multilingual Vocabulary

Skill	Use when
seedance-vocab-zh	Chinese prompt compression or Mandarin cinematic vocabulary is needed.
seedance-vocab-ja	Japanese cinematic vocabulary is needed.

seedance-vocab-ru	Russian cinematic vocabulary is needed.
seedance-examples-zh	Chinese working examples or example-safe rewrites are needed.

Install

Client support for Agent Skills is still tool-specific. If your client supports installing a skill directly from a GitHub repository, use this repository URL:

https://github.com/Emily2040/seedance-2.0

For manual installation, copy this repository into the skill directory used by your agent client. The directory name should match the root skill name, seedance-20.

Platform	Typical workspace path
Claude Code / OpenClaw	.claude/skills/seedance-20/
Codex-style agent workspace	.agents/skills/seedance-20/
Gemini CLI-style workspace	.gemini/skills/seedance-20/
GitHub Copilot workspace	.github/skills/seedance-20/
Cursor workspace	.cursor/skills/seedance-20/
Windsurf workspace	.windsurf/skills/seedance-20/

Validation

Run these checks before every release:

python scripts/validate_skills.py --strict
python scripts/content_audit.py --strict
python scripts/eval_schema_check.py --strict
python scripts/design_audit.py --strict

The CI workflow runs the same checks on push and pull request.

Design Standard

The v5.3 frontend intentionally keeps the cleaned v5.2 design language while adding deeper production guidance, multilingual coverage, and eval breadth. The README should stay readable in GitHub mobile, dark mode, and narrow widths. SVG assets must include <title> and <desc> elements, use internal CSS only, and avoid external fonts or scripts. See docs/frontend-redesign.md.

Changelog

See CHANGELOG.md. Current release: v5.3.0.
