seedance-interview-short

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.

Intent

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.

Process

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:

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)
2. What should it feel like - pick one: polished ad, movie drama, funny, real-life phone clip, cartoon, or moody atmosphere? (not sure? I'll go calm and warm)
3. Do you have photos, clips, or sound of the real thing - and should each one keep the look, the motion, or the sound? (none is fine)

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.

Compact Brief Pattern

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].

Routing Rule

Route to [skill:seedance-prompt] for a full 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.

Output Contract

Return one compact brief under 150 words, any missing high-impact question, and a recommended skill route.
