Seedance 2.0 Skill for Claude Code

A Claude Code skill that turns any creative brief into a perfect Seedance 2.0 prompt — every single time.

Built by @timkoda_ for creators who want to stop prompting AI video like a chatbot and start directing it like a filmmaker.

What it does

When installed, this skill teaches Claude Code the full Seedance 2.0 prompting system:

• The 6-Layer Architecture (Subject → Action → Environment → Camera → Style → Constraints)
• Multi-shot bracket syntax for generating cinematic multi-shot scenes in one prompt
• Native audio prompting dictionary (voice emotion, sound effects, music mood, acoustics)
• Camera movement encyclopedia (dolly, tracking, orbit, aerial, handheld, locked-off)
• Positive constraints library (Seedance doesn't support negative prompts — use these instead)
• Killer words to avoid ("fast", "cinematic" alone, "epic", "lots of movement"...)
• Tested examples verified working on OpenArt Seedance 2.0

Once loaded, you just describe what you want in plain English, and Claude writes a production-grade Seedance 2.0 prompt following the official ByteDance specification.

Installation

Option 1 — User-scope (available in every project)

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/seedance-prompting
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/timkoda/seedance-skill/main/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/seedance-prompting/SKILL.md
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/seedance-prompting/references
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/timkoda/seedance-skill/main/references/seedance-rules.md -o ~/.claude/skills/seedance-prompting/references/seedance-rules.md

Restart Claude Code. The skill loads automatically whenever you mention Seedance, video prompts, or cinematic AI video.

Option 2 — Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/timkoda/seedance-skill.git ~/.claude/skills/seedance-prompting

Usage

Once installed, just talk to Claude Code naturally:

"Write me a Seedance prompt for a young surfer riding a wave at sunset, tight close-up, with explosive energy"

"Multi-shot scene: traceur running across Parisian rooftops, then jumping between buildings, then landing and looking at camera"

"Cinematic Seedance prompt for a woman walking through a neon Tokyo street, with ambient rain audio"

Claude will use the skill to output a perfect Seedance 2.0 prompt with the right camera instruction, physics-aware action verbs, positive constraints, and audio cues — ready to paste into OpenArt.

The 6-Layer Architecture (core of the skill)

1. SUBJECT       — specific visual features
2. ACTION        — concrete verbs + physics awareness
3. ENVIRONMENT   — location + lighting mood
4. CAMERA        — ONE primary instruction
5. STYLE         — visual references + film vocabulary
6. CONSTRAINTS   — positive statements only

Every prompt the skill generates follows this order. Skip a layer and Seedance fills the gap with chaos.

Where Seedance 2.0 runs

Seedance 2.0 is available on:

• OpenArt — most accessible, multimodal inputs (9 images + 3 videos + 3 audio)
• CapCut
• Higgsfield
• Picsart Flow

If you don't have access yet, sign up to OpenArt here — it's where I tested and validated every prompt in this skill.
