What it does
The skill treats every recurring character as a continuing cast member rather than a stranger re-cast for each clip, on the premise that a drifting face reads to the user as a broken promise about someone they invented, built or care about, not as a rendering glitch. Each character gets a stable tag such as Character A or an uploaded-image reference, plus an identity anchor covering age range, silhouette, hair and wardrobe, a position, an assigned action with an endpoint, an expression described as an observable behavior like a blink or a glance, and a constraint for what must stay unchanged.
For scenes with more than one character, it requires assigning actions separately to each named character rather than a shared verb like they argue, naming the exact contact point when characters touch, and keeping background motion simple behind one identified hero subject in a crowd. It cross-references a shot-list-continuity reference for identity, wardrobe and eyeline that must survive across multiple shots, and a directing-engine reference for deepening performance once the basic blocking is locked. The excerpt is cut off while introducing a three-tier action hierarchy for multi-person scenes.
When your agent uses it
- Keeping a character's face, wardrobe and pose consistent across multiple generated shots
- Writing a multi-character scene where each person needs a distinct, trackable action
- Blocking a crowd scene while keeping one hero subject clearly identified
Example prompts
- “Keep Character A's wardrobe and hairstyle consistent across these next three shots.”
- “Write the blocking for this two-character scene so each one has a separate, clear action.”
- “Set up an identity anchor for this recurring character before we generate more clips.”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Persistent micro-motion - breathing, blinks, slight shoulder movement, hair drift, drifting gaze. Continuous, no gaps; this is the default…
- One focused response - a single person gets one small reaction with an explicit time window: Character B's lip corner lifts and she holds…
- Large actions - prohibited by default. In multi-person shots, explicitly exclude standing, walking, turning, posture changes, and object…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4668457. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Seedance Character Consistency Guide loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 563 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

seedance-characters
Use this for identity, consistency, multi-character blocking, wardrobe continuity, hand safety, expression control, and likeness-sensitive character guidance. Character prompting must remove ambiguity before adding style.
Load shot-list-continuity when character identity, wardrobe, props, eyeline, screen direction, or emotional state must survive across multiple shots. Load directing-engine to deepen performance after the canonical lane decision. For dramatic acting, use playable objectives and subtext; for observation or direct expression, preserve the requested movement, rhythm, or delight without inventing a conflict. Keep the intended performance register consistent with the project's voice.
Intent
The user is protecting someone here - a character they invented, a product they built, or a person they love. Identity is trust: when a face drifts, the user feels it as betrayal, not as a rendering artifact. Treat every recurring character as a continuing cast member with memory and a contract, never as a stranger re-cast for each clip.
Character Contract
Assign each character a stable tag: Character A, Character B, @Image1 subject, or a user-provided original name. After more than one character appears, do not use ambiguous pronouns. Keep tag, role, appearance, wardrobe, position, action, and emotional beat consistent.
| Field | Prompt use |
|---|---|
| Tag | Character A or @Image1 subject |
| Identity anchor | Age range, silhouette, hair, wardrobe, or authorized reference role |
| Position | Foreground/background, left/right, seated/standing |
| Action | One assigned verb and endpoint |
| Expression | Observable behavior such as blink, glance, smile, grip, pause |
| Constraint | What must stay unchanged |
Multi-Character Blocking
Assign actions separately: Character A lowers the envelope; Character B remains in the doorway. Do not write they argue dramatically when the model must decide who moves. If contact occurs, describe the contact point and endpoint. For crowd scenes, identify the hero subject and keep background motion simple.

Three-Tier Action Hierarchy
Field-observed from Chinese production practice; the strongest known stabilizer for multi-person scenes. Give every visible person an action from exactly one tier:
- Persistent micro-motion - breathing, blinks, slight shoulder movement, hair drift, drifting gaze. Continuous, no gaps; this is the default tier for everyone who is not the focus.
- One focused response - a single person gets one small reaction with an explicit time window:
Character B's lip corner lifts and she holds a half-second glance. - Large actions - prohibited by default. In multi-person shots, explicitly exclude standing, walking, turning, posture changes, and object pickup unless one of them is the shot's single beat. Character-to-prop physics (lifting a glass, passing an object) is fragile with multiple people on screen - keep contact simple or move it off-screen.
Hand and Face Stability
Hands and faces degrade under complex choreography. Keep hands visible but simple, avoid rapid finger actions, avoid face-touching during dialogue, and lock the camera for lip-sync or portrait preservation. Use props to show emotion when facial precision is fragile.
Likeness Rule
For real-person likeness, do not infer consent from an uploaded asset. Treat portrait, face, and voice workflows as authorization-dependent and surface-specific. If authorization is unclear, rewrite to an original character archetype while preserving the scene function.
Sequence State
When sequence state is present, inherit wardrobe, hair, screen geography, eyeline, pose, emotional state, current clip scope, continuity locks, exact reference tags, and reserved future beats. Canonical identity references control identity; accepted footage controls transient opening state. Do not let a motion or continuity source overwrite immutable character locks.
Output Contract
Return a character card, tag map, action assignments, continuity constraints, and any safety or authorization note.
