seedance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from maystudios/claude-skills. It costs 195 tokens per session (2,177 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing prompts for Seedance 2.0, an AI model that generates short video clips from text, images, audio, and video. It covers scene generation, animation, controlled transitions, reference media, multiple shots, and synchronized sound.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan text-to-video or image-to-video prompts, specify first and last frames, combine reference media, and direct dialogue, sound effects, ambience, or music.
Why use it?
It helps turn a vague visual idea into clear shot directions that describe movement, camera work, physical actions, and sound.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

seedance scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Seedance 2.0 — Prompting & Capabilities

Seedance 2.0 (ByteDance Seed team, launched Feb 2026) is a multimodal audio-video model: it takes text, images, audio, and video in a single call and generates a 4–15s clip with native synchronized audio (dialogue + lip-sync, sound effects, ambient, music) in the same pass.

Core mental model — this drives every decision below: Seedance 2.0 is a physics and cinematography simulator you direct like a film crew, not a mood board you brainstorm with adjectives. It renders physical interactions ("tires smoke as the car pivots on wet asphalt") and directorial language ("slow dolly-in", "golden-hour rim light"). It does not render vague adjectives ("cinematic", "epic", "amazing"). Write shot directions, not vibes.

Capabilities at a glance

Mode Input Use it for
Text-to-video (T2V) prompt only Generating a scene from scratch
Image-to-video (I2V) 1 start image + prompt Animating an existing still
First-and-last frame 2 images (first_frame+last_frame) + prompt Controlled transitions / reveals / before-after
Reference-to-video (R2V) 1–9 images + ≤3 videos + ≤3 audio (max 12 files) + prompt Character/style/motion/object consistency, voice, "omni" composition
Multi-shot prompt with a shot list / timeline A short narrative (up to ~6 shots) in one 15s generation
Video-extend prior clip + prompt Continuing past 15s by chaining

Native specs: 480p/720p native (1080p and native 4K on hosting platforms), 4–15s, 24 fps, aspect ratios auto, 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16. Audio is on by default (generate_audio: true), at no extra cost. Full specs, access routes, model IDs, pricing, and the raw API request shape are in references/access-and-specs.md — read it when the user asks how to call/access the model or needs exact limits.

The universal prompt formula

Order matters: the model reads left-to-right and weights the front most heavily. The first 2–3 instructions land reliably; adherence drops after ~8 requirements. Front-load subject and action.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
