Reference resolution: [ref:<name>] resolves to ../seedance-20/references/<name>.md (the seedance-20 skill's vendored reference corpus); [skill:<name>] is the sibling skill of that name.

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.

Process

Ask at most three questions, and only ask them if the answer materially changes the prompt. Prioritize:

What is the subject doing, and what changes by the final frame?
What should it feel like: product polish, drama, comedy, realism, animation, action, or atmosphere?
Are there image, video, or audio references, and what should each one control?

If the user already supplied enough information, do not ask. Produce a brief immediately.

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].
