SC 01Overview

What it does

You describe the video you want and list the images, clips and audio you can upload. The skill has the agent give each file a role with the model's @ reference syntax (first frame, character, scene, camera move, rhythm, music), arrange the prompt as subject, scene, action, camera, timing, audio and style, and split longer clips into timed segments. It also holds a camera-term table, ten prompt patterns (character consistency, camera replication, video extension, beat matching, one-take, dialogue and others), a mistakes checklist and templates for an ad, a 15-second short drama scene, a dance clip and a scenery montage. The output is prompt text only, which you run yourself in Jimeng; the repo ships an English and a Chinese edition of the guide.

How to install it

  • 01From the README

    The install command quoted from the repository README.

    npx skills add dexhunter/seedance2-skill
  • 02Claude Code, skills folder

    Copy the skill's folder, the one that holds SKILL.md, into ~/.claude/skills/ to use it in every project on your machine, or into .claude/skills/ in a repository to use it there and share it by committing it. Claude Code picks up changes to these folders during a session. If the folder did not exist when the session started, run /reload-skills.

  • 03Claude Code, plugin marketplace

    Some repos publish a plugin marketplace, a .claude-plugin/marketplace.json file. Add it in Claude Code, then install a plugin from it with /plugin install plugin-name@marketplace-name. Plugins can bundle hooks and MCP servers along with skills, so read the details panel before you confirm.

    /plugin marketplace add dexhunter/seedance2-skill
  • 04Codex, skills folder or $skill-installer

    Codex reads skills from .agents/skills in your working folder and its parent folders up to the repository root, and from $HOME/.agents/skills for every repository. Copy the skill's folder into one of them, or run $skill-installer inside Codex and ask it to install from the repo. Codex detects new skills automatically and needs a restart only if one does not appear.

The first command is quoted from the author's README. The others are the standard ways to install a skill from a GitHub repository. They are templates and may not apply here, for example if the repo has no plugin marketplace, so follow the README first.

SC 03Guide

How to get the most from it

Good for

  • Writing Seedance 2.0 prompts that mix reference images, clips and audio, where every asset needs an explicit role.
  • Planning 10 to 15 second clips as timed segments, including short drama scenes with dialogue and sound cues.
  • Copying the camera work or rhythm of a reference clip, extending an existing clip, or editing one.
  • Checking a draft prompt against the input limits stated in the skill before you submit it.

Watch out for

  • It only writes prompts. It does not call Seedance or Jimeng, so you still generate and iterate in the platform yourself.
  • The limits it quotes (file counts, durations, resolution range, face-upload restrictions) are taken from ByteDance's published Seedance 2.0 manual; platform rules change, so check them against the current Jimeng interface.
  • Written for Seedance 2.0 only; the @ syntax and limits will not carry over to other video models.

Typical workflow

01Step
Install with npx skills add dexhunter/seedance2-skill, or copy SKILL.md into your agent's skills folder.
02Step
Tell the agent the kind of video, mood and length, and list the images, clips and audio you can upload.
03Step
Let it assign each asset a role with @ references and draft the prompt, split into timed segments once a clip runs past roughly 8 to 10 seconds.
04Step
Review its check against the file-count and duration limits and the face restriction, then ask for a simpler or bolder variant if needed.
05Step
Paste the final prompt and files into Jimeng, generate, and bring the result back to refine the wording.
