Last episode I dropped myself into the Matrix. The script behind it didn't come from me — it came from a skill I built. Now /generate-video-script turns any one-line idea into a full Seedance 2.0 shot list: copy-paste prompts, CapCut steps, a credit budget. One sentence in, a production sheet out.
No formula to remember, no blank page. I type the idea as one line — /generate-video-script Matrix parody where I download a skill from Claude — and the skill returns a numbered shot list, a copy-paste Seedance 2.0 prompt per clip, CapCut steps, and a credit budget. The exact sheet that produced last episode's film.
The skill carries one ordering and never lets you skip a slot: subject → action → scene → lighting → camera → style → audio → quality → constraints. Writing four to six of those cold every time is slow and easy to fumble. The skill writes them for you, in order, with the two rules that carry most of the result.
Open the skill and there's no tooling: it's one Markdown file. A front-matter trigger that auto-fires on the right phrasing, the process (intake → optionally /watch a reference clip → clarify the forks → write the sheet), the Seedance essentials embedded so it runs anywhere, and the hard rules — one camera move per shot, single-person face reference, draft on mini first, never let the model render on-screen text. The simplest automation on this channel is also the one I use most.
The idea is small; the file isn't. To stand alone anywhere it embeds the whole Seedance grammar — formula, camera vocabulary, audio brackets, failure fixes — so it lands near 150 lines, not 40. You could strip it to a 40-line core that just points at the knowledge base; I kept it fat so it works with zero project context. Either way: no code runs — it's all prompt.
These four frames are straight out of last episode's film. Each one was rendered from a prompt the skill generated — not hand-written. Tap any image to enlarge it and read the exact Seedance 2.0 prompt the skill produced.
The Matrix film was the proof. The skill is the asset. Every video idea from here starts the same way — one sentence to /generate-video-script — and comes back as a sheet I can shoot. The factory that makes the content now also writes the scripts.
The on-camera cut: I type one idea, read back the shot list it generates, then show the film those prompts produced.
The /generate-video-script skill itself, plus the Seedance 2.0 knowledge base it's built on — formula, camera vocabulary, audio grammar, failure fixes — and the verbatim production sheet for the Matrix build. Everything in this episode is free and open — clone it, run it, make it yours.

The real test of a script skill isn't recreating a famous scene — it's an idea no one's filmed before. Next: I point /generate-video-script at an original Bitesize AI concept and let it build a faceless short from nothing.
