# seedance-prompt-short

This skill helps construct and compress prompts for Seedance 2.0, with a recommended target of **30-100 words**.

## The 30-100 Word Target

| Layer | Budget (chars) | Purpose |
|:---|:---:|:---|
| **1. Core Intent** | ~20-40 words | Subject + Action. The emotional and narrative heart. |
| **2. Visuals** | ~20-30 words | Camera + Lighting + Style. The cinematic eye. |
| **3. Audio** | ~10-20 words | Music + SFX + Ambience. The soundscape. |
| **4. Technical** | ~10-20 words | @Tags + Constraints + Physics. The rules. |

| **Total** | **~30-100 words** | **Recommended Target** |

## The Compression Engine

- **Verbs > Adjectives**: `A woman's face, catching the last light` not `A beautiful, stunning shot`.
- **Show, Don't Tell Emotion**: `His shoulders slump` not `He is sad`.
- **Use Film Language**: `Dolly shot, camera-left` not `The camera moves smoothly`.
- **Trust the Model**: `Gourmet hamburger ad, macro shot` not a long description of a hamburger.
