# Seedance Vocab En > This skill should be used when an English Seedance 2.0 prompt is slop-heavy, generic, padded with empty quality words, tripping false-positive filters, or needs precise English production vocabulary for camera, lighting, motion, VFX, audio, and constraints. Use when this capability is needed. - Skill: `tomevault-io/seedance-vocab-en` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 2 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add tomevault-io/seedance-vocab-en` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/tomevault-io/seedance-vocab-en/raw - Safety review: pending (external: skill-scanner PASS, skillspector PASS) - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: AI & ML - Author: tomevault-io (https://skillmd.com/u/tomevault-io) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/tomevault-io/seedance-vocab-en --- # seedance-vocab-en English is the default prompting language and fails in two ways at once: slop (empty evaluation words that add tokens and no signal) and false positives (vague threat-adjacent wording that trips the heaviest moderation surface). The cure for both is the same: concrete production English. Preserve reference tags exactly: `[Image1]`, `[Video1]`, `[Audio1]` must never be reworded. ## Intent English is where most users think, and where most prompts quietly rot. The soul of this vocabulary is precision as kindness: give people exact words so their excitement survives contact with the model, and so honest prompts stop being mistaken for dangerous ones. ## Usage Rule If a camera, microphone, light meter, or stopwatch cannot detect it, rewrite it. Every sentence should name something visible, audible, or measurable: subject, visible action, camera, light source, sound, constraint. | Function | English wording | |---|---| | Camera | `slow push-in`, `locked medium shot`, `stable lateral tracking`, `pull back to reveal`, `macro close-up` | | Lighting | `soft backlight`, `warm practical light from the left`, `cool moonlight rim`, `wet asphalt reflecting neon` | | Motion | `a slow head turn that stops`, `droplets merge and slide down`, `fabric settles after the gesture` | | Audio | `quiet room tone`, `one clear spoken line in quotes`, `no music until after the line` | | Constraints | `keep the logo, label, and shape unchanged`, `one action, one camera move`, `nothing else moves` | ## De-Slop Pass Strip quality adjectives before adding anything: `cinematic`, `epic`, `stunning`, `masterpiece`, `8K`, `ultra-realistic`, `award-winning`, `hyper-detailed` all delete or convert to one observable detail each. A prompt that earns "epic" names the crowd size, the lens distance, or the structure height instead of the word. ## Filter-Aware Wording English homonyms read as threats to filters: `shoot the scene`, `kill the lights`, `gun it`, `dead silence`, `blow up the image`. Use the production synonym (`film the take`, `cut the lights to black`, `accelerate hard`, `held silence`, `enlarge to full frame`). This is clarity for safe prompts only — never evasion. Anything genuinely risky (minors, real-person likeness, sexual or graphic content) routes to `[skill:seedance-filter]` for its boundary rule, not to a rewording. ## Compact Pattern `[Image1] is the reference; keep identity, color, and shape unchanged. Only [motion/light/camera] changes. Camera: [one move]. Sound: [one cue]. Constraints: [lock].` Load `references/vocab/en.md` for the full function-organized vocabulary, slop traps, and filter-trip repairs. Load `[ref:anti-slop-lexicon]` for the core replacement rule and `[ref:filter-vocab]` for the full false-positive repair table. ## Output Contract Return the de-slopped English prompt, each replacement made (slop → observable detail), any filter-trip repair applied, and unchanged reference tags. --- > Source: [Emily2040/seedance-2.0](https://github.com/Emily2040/seedance-2.0) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
