How to use the Seedance Russian Vocabulary agent skill
Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data
The seedance-vocab-ru skill is an agent skill for writing prompts for the Seedance 2.0 AI video generator in Russian. It is aimed at Russian-speaking creators, marketers making product shots and translators who want consistent film-production terms. After this guide you will know what the skill changes in the agent's output, how to install it, how to trigger it with a normal request, and where its limits are.
Quick start
- 1Download the ZIP. Get the seedance-vocab-ru ZIP from the directory page.
- 2Choose an install location. Use ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use or a project's .claude/skills/ folder for one project.
- 3Unzip the skill. Extract the archive so the seedance-vocab-ru folder with SKILL.md sits in that skills folder.
- 4Or upload in the Claude apps. In the Claude apps, go to Settings → Capabilities → Skills and upload the ZIP.
- 5Ask in natural language. Request a Russian Seedance 2.0 prompt and describe the subject, action, camera and light.
- 6Check the output. Confirm reference tags are unchanged and dialogue is exact, then have a Russian speaker review the wording.
What is an agent skill and what does this one do?
An agent skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file with instructions that an AI agent loads when a task matches its description. This skill's description says it should be used when you ask for Russian Seedance 2.0 prompt wording, Russian cinematic vocabulary, or translation of camera, lighting, action, VFX, audio and production terms into Russian.
When it is active, the agent writes prompts in Russian using a set of Russian cinematic terms for camera moves, lighting, motion, sound and production constraints. It keeps prompts short and ordered by subject, action, camera, light, sound and limits, and it preserves reference tags and quoted Russian dialogue exactly.
- Camera wording such as боковое сопровождение (side tracking) and нижний ракурс (low angle)
- Lighting wording such as контровой свет (backlight) and контурная подсветка (rim light)
- Sound wording such as без музыки (no music) and короткая реплика (short line)
- First/last-frame phrasing such as @Image1 как первый кадр
Install the seedance-vocab-ru skill
Download the ZIP for skills/seedance-vocab-ru from the directory page. Then choose one of two routes.
For Claude Code, unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use, or into a project's .claude/skills/ folder to share it with one project. For the Claude apps, upload the ZIP under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.
- Personal install: unzip into ~/.claude/skills/
- Project install: unzip into the project's .claude/skills/
- Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills, then upload the ZIP
Trigger the skill with natural requests
You do not need a special command. Ask in plain language for Russian prompt wording, and the agent should match the request to the skill's description. Include the subject, the action, the camera and the light you want, and say that you want the prompt in Russian.
If you have reference images, name their tags exactly as they appear in your project, such as @Image1. The skill keeps those tags unchanged, but a written tag does not attach a file, so make sure your images are actually supplied to the platform.
- Ask for a Russian Seedance 2.0 prompt for a specific scene
- Ask to translate camera or lighting terms into Russian
- Ask for a product shot prompt that keeps the logo and label unchanged
Examples of prompts the skill produces
The skill's compact pattern puts the reference first, then the single camera move, then the sound. An example request could be: a product on a table with a slow camera push-in, warm practical light and a quiet room tone. The agent should answer with a Russian prompt in that order, kept short, and not add flourishes like кинематографичный or эпичный unless they are broken down into physical elements.
The skill's Russian vocabulary includes phrases such as медленный наезд камеры (slow push-in), мягкий свет из окна (soft window light), тихий фон помещения (quiet room tone) and капли стекают вниз (drops run down). Treat these as building blocks, not a fixed script.
What you need before using it
The skill writes prompts; it does not generate video. To use the resulting prompts you need access to the Seedance 2.0 video generation platform. The skill does not run that platform for you.
For full behaviour the skill points to reference files in the wider repository, including directors-read, vocab/ru and surface-prompt-profiles. If those files are not present alongside SKILL.md, the agent has less guidance to work from.
- Access to the Seedance 2.0 video generation platform
- The referenced files from the wider repository for full behaviour
Safety notes: scripts and network
According to the skill's metadata, it does not run scripts and does not use the network. Its shipped file list contains only SKILL.md.
The skill also states limits you should respect. It does not guarantee lip-sync, pronunciation or credit savings. The independent locale-specialist review of its Russian wording is still empty and pending, so treat the wording as unverified and check fluency and dialogue yourself before publishing.
- Runs scripts: no
- Uses network: no
- Russian wording has not had independent review yet
What people use it for
- Writing a Russian prompt for a Seedance 2.0 clip with a slow camera push-in and soft window light
- Creating product-shot prompts in Russian that keep the logo, label and shape unchanged
- Keeping Russian film-production terms consistent across a translation project
- Building first-frame and last-frame prompts that reference uploaded images by their tags
Frequently asked questions
How do I install the seedance-vocab-ru skill?
Download the ZIP from the directory page and unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use or into a project's .claude/skills/ folder. In the Claude apps, you can instead upload the ZIP under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.
Is the seedance-vocab-ru skill free?
The skill is released under the MIT licence, as stated in its metadata. The licence covers the skill itself; access to the Seedance 2.0 video generation platform is a separate requirement that the skill does not provide.
What do I need to use this skill?
You need access to the Seedance 2.0 video generation platform to use the prompts it writes. The skill also points to reference files in the wider repository, such as directors-read and vocab/ru, for full behaviour.
Does the skill run scripts or use the internet?
No. The listing states it runs no scripts and uses no network, and it ships only a SKILL.md file.
Will the Russian prompts guarantee good lip-sync or pronunciation?
No. The skill says lip-sync, pronunciation and credit savings are not guaranteed by the evidence. Its Russian wording is also pending independent locale-specialist review, so check dialogue yourself.
How is this different from a general Russian translation tool?
This skill is focused on video prompts and film-production vocabulary, not general Russian writing or translation. If you need broad translation beyond video prompts, a general tool is a better fit.

Our verdict
Use this skill if you write Seedance 2.0 video prompts in Russian and want consistent camera, light and sound terms, or if you produce product shots that must keep logos and labels unchanged. Pick something else if you need guaranteed dialogue quality, lip-sync, or a general Russian writing or translation tool.
