seedance-continuation

Use this for seamless continuation, intentional next shots, bridge clips, tail repair, and re-anchoring after drift. A continuation prompt must be grounded in accepted footage, not only in the old plan.

Load [ref:continuation-handoff], [ref:sequence-project-state], [ref:prompt-compiler], [ref:reference-transfer-contract], and [ref:continuity-qc]. Load [ref:failure-atlas] when the continuation failed or drift is visible. Load [ref:directing-engine] so the next clip inherits the project's directorial voice and its position on the long-form spine; the look never re-rolls between clips.

Intent

The user already made something they accepted, and now they are trusting the story to continue from exactly where it really landed - not where the plan hoped it would. The soul of this skill is fidelity to what actually happened: honor the accepted footage as the only truth, refuse to invent the bridge, and ask for the real ending rather than guess it. Continuity is a promise that the film the user already has will not be quietly contradicted.

Required Input Gate

Before writing any continuation prompt, require:

• project_id;
• current clip_id;
• valid parent_clip_id;
• full-story objective;
• final story outcome;
• next planned narrative job;
• accepted previous clip or accepted final frame;
• observed_end_state;
• continuity locks;
• inherited directorial voice and arc position;
• exact reference registry;
• active surface or conservative surface profile.

If the source is unavailable, say: "I have the story plan, but I do not have the actual ending of the previous generation. Upload the clip or its final frame, or describe exactly what is visible at the end. I should not invent the continuation state."

Do not hide this uncertainty by writing a speculative prompt.

Continuation Types

seamless_continuation: same shot, same geography, same open motion, same or motivated camera continuation, and accepted previous footage as the source.
