# Keep One Character Consistent Across Seedance 2.5 Action Shots — workflow skill for cinematic & short films

> **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`.

## What it does

Trimmed versions of the skills behind CROW LINE, an AI-generated action film on YouTube. video-prompt-director turns a short scene direction into one Seedance 2.5 reference-to-video prompt with reference roles, a staged event script, camera and audio design; character-consistency expands a short character brief and builds a bust-up, full-body front and full-body rear sheet to ride as the identity reference on every shot. The skills only write prompts, so there are no keys or costs in the repo; you generate wherever you already do. MIT license; more stages (story, look, shots, sound, assembly) are planned.

## Use when

- write a submit-ready Seedance 2.5 prompt for a fight or action scene
- map reference images to roles in a reference-to-video shot
- build a character sheet that keeps one face and outfit in every shot
- plan a one-take action beat with camera and audio design

## Install

- Claude Code: `git clone https://github.com/nigo-studio/ai-film-skills.git && cd ai-film-skills && claude`
- Any agent, with the vargai CLI: `vargai install crow-line-seedance-action-film`
