What it does
Give Claude a local image or URL and a motion idea; the skill builds a loop-safe prompt, submits the job to Seedance 2.0 through kie.ai, polls until it is done, downloads the 5-second MP4 into your project and returns an autoplay video embed snippet. Aspect ratio and other parameters can be set in the request. Installs into .agents/skills with npx and needs a KIE_API_KEY in your .env.
Use when
- Animate a still image into a looping clip
- Make a looping hero or intro animation for a web page
- Add subtle motion such as floating particles to an illustration
- Get a seamless loop without visible cut
