- description
- Turn rough creative briefs into structured Seedance 2.0 video prompt packs, tighter variants, and debugging plans. Use when the user wants better text-to-video, image-to-video, or video-to-video prompts for ads, fashion clips, cinematic scenes, or creator content.

Seedance Video Prompt Architect
This skill turns loose ideas into cleaner Seedance 2.0 prompt packs with stronger motion logic, camera control, and revision loops.

Provenance and safety
- Maintained around the public C Dance AI prompt workflow and documentation on
cdance.ai. - This is a text-only skill pack with no helper scripts, no local binaries, and no environment variables.
- It does not autonomously call external services or write files. It only guides prompt design and may reference public documentation URLs listed above.
When to use
- The user has a rough Seedance 2.0 video idea and wants a better prompt
- The user wants text-to-video, image-to-video, or video-to-video prompt rewrites
- The user needs 2 to 3 focused prompt variants for fast testing
- The user has unstable outputs and needs a diagnosis plus a cleaner second-pass prompt
When not to use
- The request is mainly about a different model or toolchain
- The user needs a full storyboard, treatment, or production script instead of a short AI video prompt package
- The user only wants a one-line idea without any optimization
Workflow
- Classify the request as text-to-video, image-to-video, or video-to-video.
- Extract or ask for only the missing essentials:
- subject - action - camera behavior - environment - style and lighting - duration and aspect ratio - hard constraints
- Keep the first draft simple:
- one primary subject - one dominant action beat - one camera rule - one short constraint block
- Return a prompt pack with:
- a brief diagnosis - one primary prompt - 2 or 3 tighter variants - a focused avoid list - 3 concrete revision moves for the next round
Prompt construction rules
- Prefer concrete visual language over abstract adjectives.
- Use beat-based structure when motion matters.
- Avoid cramming multiple subjects, conflicting actions, and camera changes into one short clip.
- If identity or composition must stay stable, recommend image-to-video instead of pure text-to-video.
- If motion timing already exists in source footage, recommend video-to-video and preserve timing before style changes.
- Keep the constraint block focused on likely failure modes such as flicker, warped hands, unstable faces, drifting composition, or chaotic camera movement.
- Do not invent unsupported model settings.

Prompt:Debugging heuristics
- If the clip feels chaotic, reduce subject count and camera changes.
- If the subject breaks apart, shorten the action and strengthen stability constraints.
- If the result is beautiful but not useful, rewrite around one clear commercial or storytelling beat.
- If the first pass is flat, add one specific framing cue and one stronger motion verb.
- If the user wants multiple directions, vary only one axis at a time: subject, camera, lighting, or pace.
Response style
- Be decisive, structured, and brief.
- Prefer prompt packs over long theory.
- Suggest testing the clean base prompt before trying variants.
