What it does
Seedance 2.0 Skill OS is a root skill (seedance-20) with 28 sub-skills for camera, lighting, motion, style, characters, audio, VFX, sequences, continuation and troubleshooting, plus vocabularies in six languages. It turns an idea into a shot table and a directed prompt: one action per shot, reactions written as a feeling plus one physical anchor, and a lock line that restates light, people and positions after every cut. It writes prompts only; your Seedance provider does the generation and billing. MIT.
Use when
- Turn a one-line brief into a multi-shot 15-second Seedance 2.0 scene
- Write camera moves, shot scale and lens feel that Seedance actually follows
- Plan a shot table on paper before paying for a take
- Continue from an accepted clip without losing light, cast or blocking
- Pre-screen a prompt for moderation refusals
