What this skill does
Seedance 2.0 Storyboard & Video Generation End-to-end workflow from concept to final video: Storyboard → Reference images → Submit video task → Get results. Step 0: Determine Execution Mode (MCP or Script) Check MCP availability first: 1. Check xskill-ai MCP service status (read mcps/user-xskill-ai/STATUS.md) 2. If MCP is available → use submittask / gettask and other MCP tools 3. If MCP is unavailable or returns errors → switch to Script Mode Script mode prerequisites: 1. Verify XSKILLAPIKEY environment variable is set (run echo $XSKILLAPIKEY head -c 10) 2. If not set, prompt the user: 3. Verify requests is installed (pip install requests) Script path: Located under this skill's directory at scripts/seedanceapi.py: In the following steps, each API call provides both MCP method and Script method. Choose one based on the Step 0 result. Step 1: Understand the User's Idea Collect the following information (proactively ask if anything is missing): Story concept: one-sentence summary of the video Duration: 4–15 seconds Aspect ratio: 16:9 / 9:16 / 1:1 / 21:9 / 4:3 / 3:4 Visual style: realistic / animation / ink wash / sci-fi / cyberpunk, etc. Assets: existing images/videos/audio, or need AI generation Function mode: first & last frame control (firstlastframes) or default omni mode (omnireference) Step 2: Deep Dive (5 Dimensions) Guide the user through each dimension for richer detail: 1. Content – Who is the subject? What are they doing? Where? 2. Visuals – Lighting, color palette, texture, mood 3. Camera – Push in / pull out / pan / tilt / track / orbit / crane 4. Motion – Subject actions and pacing 5. Audio – Music style, sound effects, dialogue Step 3: Build Storyboard Structure Break down shots along the timeline using this formula: See reference.md for detailed templates and examples. Step 4: Generate Reference Images (If Needed) If the user has no existing assets, use Seedream 4.5 to generate character art, scenes, first/last frames, etc. …
