Seedance Prompt Builder — Development skill for Claude Code

Seedance Prompt Builder

A Claude Agent Skill that turns plain-English briefs into paste-ready prompts for **Seedance 2.0** (ByteDance's AI video model, accessed via Higgsfield, Dreamina, CapCut, Arcads, or the API).

Talk to Claude like a director. It hands you back a prompt you drop straight into Higgsfield.

What makes this different

Built on research from [the Seedance 2.0 launch videos](#) and verified against the official prompting docs:

• Paste-ready output by default — no planning-tool overhead. You get the prompt, you paste it.
• Grounded in real Seedance rules — one camera instruction per shot, lighting as the #1 quality driver, "fast" as the most dangerous keyword, the @Image1 reference system, the real-face upload restriction.
• Product ad focus — four proven ad formats (hands-only UGC, character testimonial, product hero macro, before-after transformation) with templates for each.
• Progressive disclosure — the main SKILL.md stays tight (~150 lines). Five reference files load only when the conversation needs them:
  • product-ads.md — ad formats, face workarounds, UGC voice
  • camera-moves.md — the 8 camera types, compound-motion handling
  • multi-shot.md — timestamp syntax, transitions, per-shot identity locking
  • references-syntax.md — the @Image1 / @Video1 / @Audio1 role assignment system
  • characters.md — character sheets, face restrictions, drift fixes
