Steampunk brass & gears style transform (Seedance 2.0)

Heavy romantic industry: gears peek through sets, steam vents rhythmically, materials read brass and lacquered wood, actions feel weighty and clockwork-driven.

Dependencies: WERYAI_API_KEY + Node.js 18+. This skill uses only SEEDANCE_2_0. When you run the CLI, scripts/video_gen.js must exist; WERYAI_VIDEO_API.md must exist under resources/ (supply both via publish or pre-use assembly). Full commands and JSON fields: see resources/WERYAI_VIDEO_API.md. No other Cursor skills required.

Prerequisites

  • WERYAI_API_KEY must be set before running video_gen.js.
  • Node.js 18+; prefer public https image URLs. If the assembled scripts/video_gen.js accepts local paths, review/verify the script and explicitly consent before local read-and-upload to WeryAI.
  • Model (caller / agent): The bundled video_gen.js requires a non-empty model in JSON—if model is missing or blank, the CLI exits with MISSING_PARAM (no default model). The script does not enforce this skill's allowed model in code: you must set "model":"SEEDANCE_2_0" for this package and show it in the confirmation table before submit—see WERYAI_VIDEO_API.md (model row).
  • Each wait run may consume credits; re-run creates new paid tasks.
  • Security, secrets, and API hosts

  • WERYAI_API_KEY: Treat as a secret. Only configure it if you trust this skill's source; it is listed in OpenClaw metadata as requires.env / primaryEnv so installers know it is mandatory at runtime (never commit it inside the skill package).
  • API hosts (fixed in video_gen.js): Video tasks use https://api.weryai.com; the models list uses https://api-growth-agent.weryai.com. Child skills must not document or rely on URL environment-variable overrides—only WERYAI_API_KEY is read from the environment.
  • Local image handling disclosure: Prefer public https image URLs. If the assembled scripts/video_gen.js supports local file paths, it may read a local image and upload it to WeryAI to obtain a public URL; require review / verification and explicit consent before using that path.
  • Higher assurance: Run generation in a short-lived or isolated environment (separate account or container), and review scripts/video_gen.js (HTTPS submit + poll loop) before production use. Verify whether the runtime can read local image files and upload them to WeryAI, and obtain explicit consent before using that path.
  • Prompt expansion (mandatory)

    video_gen.js does not expand prompts. Before every wait --json, turn the user's short or vague brief into a full English production prompt that re-styles the described event into this skill's look.

    When: User input is short, vague, or missing cinematic detail. Exception: They supply a finished long prompt within 2000 characters and ask you not to rewrite—still show the full text in the confirmation table.

    Always add: shot size and angle; camera move; lighting and color grade aligned to this skill; subject action paced to duration; one clear payoff; platform framing (9:16 unless user chose another allowed ratio); if generate_audio is true, describe ambience / SFX in generic words (no copyrighted music references).

    Length: Stay within prompt_length_limit 2000 for SEEDANCE_2_0; trim adjectives before losing the core transformation beat.

    Confirmation: The pre-submit table must include the full expanded prompt.

    Style transformation checklist

  • Visible mechanics: pistons, flywheels, gauge clusters—support the main action, don’t bury it.
  • Brass & wood: patina highlights, rivets, parquet or workshop benches.
  • Steam beats: timed puffs on motion accents—avoid obscuring faces long.
  • Set dressing: boilers, pipe runs, gaslight—vertical framing with depth.
  • Motion: deliberate, slightly overslung weight; crank-turn parallels.
  • Sound (if on): hiss, tick-tock, low machinery rumble—prompt-level only.
  • Fits: Retro machinery love, industrial beauty, theatrical pacing, world-building shorts.

    ### Example prompts below are richness targets only—always derive from the user's actual brief.

    Workflow

    1. Confirm the request matches this skill (text-to-video and/or single image-to-video). 2. Collect the user's brief, optional image URL, and tier (best / good / fast)—all map to SEEDANCE_2_0 with different duration defaults (see Recommended models). 3. Expand prompt (mandatory): Unless the user opted out with a finished long prompt, expand using ## Prompt expansion (mandatory). Do not submit only the user's minimal words. 4. Validate model is SEEDANCE_2_0 only; validate duration, aspect_ratio, resolution, generate_audio against the frozen tables. 5. Show the confirmation table with the full expanded prompt; wait for confirm or edits. 6. Run node scripts/video_gen.js wait --json '...'. 7. Parse stdout JSON; return videos URLs or explain errors. 8. When presenting playable URLs to the user, use Markdown inline links only (e.g. Video). Do not wrap user-facing links in code fences.

    CLI reference

    ~~~sh node scripts/video_gen.js wait --json '{"model":"SEEDANCE_2_0","prompt":"…","duration":10,"aspect_ratio":"9:16","resolution":"720p","generate_audio":true}' ~~~

    Full reference: WERYAI_VIDEO_API.md.

    Definition of done

    Done when the user gets at least one playable Video-style link, or a clear failure with next steps. Submitted prompt must be the expanded prompt unless the user explicitly opted out. Never use another model_key in this skill.

    Boundaries (out of scope)

  • Do not use any model other than SEEDANCE_2_0 for this package.
  • Do not link to weryai-model-capabilities.md or shared ../references/ paths; use resources/WERYAI_VIDEO_API.md for CLI/API details.
  • Prefer public https for image when easy; OpenClaw / chat attachments are often a local path—if video_gen.js can read it, pass it as image and the script uploads first (use an absolute path if a relative path fails). Never embed the secret value of WERYAI_API_KEY in files.
  • Do not invent API fields; do not send negative_prompt (not supported for this model).
  • Do not wrap user-facing playable URLs in Markdown code fences.
  • Example prompts

  • Tea pour → brass samovar, steam curls through gear windows, warm tungsten, 9:16
  • Typing on laptop → reimagined as brass typewriter with vacuum tubes pulsing
  • HTTPS workshop selfie → add cog overlays on walls, gentle steam, slow push-in

  • Model and API constraints (frozen for this skill)

    > Derived from node scripts/video_gen.js models alignment at authoring time; re-run models after platform upgrades. This skill is locked to SEEDANCE_2_0 only.

    Text-to-video

    | model_key | durations | aspect_ratios | resolutions | Audio | negative_prompt | prompt limit | |-----------|-----------|---------------|-------------|-------|-----------------|---------------| | SEEDANCE_2_0 | 5, 10, 15 | 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 | 480p, 720p | Yes | No (do not send) | 2000 |

    Image-to-video (single image)

    | model_key | durations | aspect_ratios | resolutions | Audio | negative_prompt | upload_image_limit | |-----------|-----------|---------------|-------------|-------|-----------------|-------------------| | SEEDANCE_2_0 | 5, 10, 15 | 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 | 480p, 720p | Yes | No (do not send) | 3 |


    Recommended models

    | Tier | model_key | Notes | |------|-----------|-------| | ⭐ Best (default) | SEEDANCE_2_0 | Prefer duration 10 or 15, resolution 720p, generate_audio true for fullest mood | | 👍 Good | SEEDANCE_2_0 | Balanced: duration 10, resolution 720p, audio per user | | ⚡ Fast | SEEDANCE_2_0 | Snappy: duration 5, resolution 480p or 720p, audio optional |

    Tier only changes duration / resolution / audio defaults—never the model.


    Default parameters

    | Field | Value | |-------|--------| | Model | SEEDANCE_2_0 (fixed) | | Aspect ratio | 9:16 | | Duration | 10 (use 5 for punchy; 15 for slower ceremony) | | Resolution | 720p (480p allowed) | | Audio | true unless user wants silent |


    Scenario: Text-to-video style transform

    Flow

    1. Capture the user's mundane event in one or two sentences. 2. Expand into English with the Style transformation checklist; keep identity generic unless user names a character. 3. Confirmation table → user confirm. 4. Execute:

    ~~~sh node scripts/video_gen.js wait --json '{"model":"SEEDANCE_2_0","prompt":"","duration":10,"aspect_ratio":"9:16","resolution":"720p","generate_audio":true}' ~~~

    5. Return Video links.


    Scenario: Image-to-video style transform

    Before use: Prefer a public https:// URL reachable from the internet. Local paths (e.g. OpenClaw attachment paths) work when the Node process can read them—video_gen.js uploads then submits; use absolute paths if needed. Do not use plain http:// remote URLs.

    1. Plan how the still re-styles in motion (props, light, environment) without breaking likeness if the user requests preservation. 2. Expand prompt; add image to the confirmation table. 3. After confirm:

    ~~~sh node scripts/video_gen.js wait --json '{"model":"SEEDANCE_2_0","prompt":"","image":"https://…","duration":10,"aspect_ratio":"9:16","resolution":"720p","generate_audio":true}' ~~~

    4. Return Video links.


    Loop seam (optional)

    If the user asks for a seamless loop, append a short English trio at the end of the expanded prompt: seamless loop, perfect loop, ends where it begins—no separate API flag.
