$npx -y skills add LeoYeAI/seedance-skills --skill seedance-interview-shortThis skill should be used when the user wants a fast Seedance 2.0 creative brief, a short interview, a compressed intake flow, or a quick director-style clarification before prompt writing.

| 3 | Use this when speed matters more than exhaustive creative discovery. The goal is to turn a vague idea into a compact director brief with no more than three questions, then route to prompt writing. |

| 5 | ## Intent |
| 6 | |
| 7 | The user here knows what they want and is asking you to respect their momentum. The soul of this skill is restraint: find the one missing piece that would sink the generation, ask only that, and get out of the way. Speed is the form their trust takes. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | ## Process |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Ask at most three questions, and only ask them if the answer materially changes the prompt. Assume no film background: ask in everyday words, give pickable options, and attach a default so "I don't know" never stalls the brief. Prioritize: |
| 12 | |
| 13 | 1. What happens in the video, and what is different at the end? `(not sure? I'll pick one simple action with a visible ending)` |
| 14 | 2. Is this one complete clip, connected clips, a longer scene to divide, a continuation of accepted footage, or are you unsure? `(not sure? I'll plan the whole story but only finalize the first prompt)` |
| 15 | 3. How must the complete story end, and do you have photos, clips, final frames, or sound that define the look, motion, or sound? `(none is fine; if continuing, I need the accepted clip or final frame)` |
| 16 | |
| 17 | If the user already supplied enough information, do not ask. Produce a brief immediately. If the user speaks production language fluently, drop the plain phrasing and ask in director terms. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Run the interview and brief in the user's language; for native starting-point menus and invites, load `[ref:interview-starters]`. If the user gives explicit shot, lens, camera, blocking, or performance direction, keep it verbatim and compile it into a shot-contract-grade brief - never simplify or override a professional's spec. When the user has no idea at all, offer a starting-point menu to react to instead of asking a question they cannot answer. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Even in fast mode, the brief states one motivated intention, not a generic "cinematic" look: name what the scene is doing and let the camera, light, and performance serve that. Load `[ref:directing-engine]` only when the right setup for the scene is genuinely unclear; otherwise apply its coherence rule inline. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | ## Compact Brief Pattern |
| 24 | |
| 25 | `Mode: [T2V/I2V/V2V/R2V]. Subject: [anchor]. Beat: [before -> action -> final state]. Camera: [one move]. Light/style: [physical source and safe descriptor]. Sound: [dialogue/ambience/SFX/music/silence]. Constraints: [identity, IP, safety, product, prompt budget].` |
| 26 | |
| 27 | ## Routing Rule |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Route to `[skill:seedance-sequence]` for connected clips, long scenes, unclear total duration, or continuation-ready planning; `[skill:seedance-continuation]` for accepted-footage continuation; `[skill:seedance-prompt]` for a full standalone production prompt; `[skill:seedance-prompt-short]` for a compact prompt; `[skill:seedance-copyright]` for IP/likeness risk; or `[skill:seedance-troubleshoot]` when the user starts from a bad result. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | ## Output Contract |
| 32 | |
| 33 | Return one compact brief under 150 words, any missing high-impact question, and a recommended skill route. If the request is a sequence, include the complete story ending, likely clip count, current clip job, and the fact that future prompts stay provisional until accepted footage is reviewed. |
