## What it does

The skill teaches your agent to call Seedance 2.0 models through the `belt` CLI from inference.sh. Four variants are covered: `bytedance/seedance-2-0` up to 1080p, `bytedance/seedance-2-0-fast` up to 720p, plus Studio builds that use BytePlus's private asset library for face and character consistency. Clips run 4 to 15 seconds.

The mode follows from your inputs: prompt alone, prompt plus a first frame, first and last frames, or multimodal references made of images, videos and audio. First-frame and reference inputs are mutually exclusive, so do not combine them in one call. Inside a prompt you address assets by type and index — `Image 1`, `Video 2`, `Audio 1`.

You need the `belt` CLI installed and a session from `belt login` before the first run. Studio variants also take a `safety_identifier` and upload reference images to the private library themselves. If that upload fails, Studio generation never starts, so check library access before you queue a long job.
