I traced 463 Seedance video prompts to their sources and logged 264 retest runs

Viral AI-video clips often come with a prompt. What is harder to find is the original source, a reusable structure, and evidence that the prompt holds up in another generation.

I built Awesome Seedance to make that workflow easier to inspect and repeat. The repository currently contains 463 Seedance 2.5/2.0 cases traced to their original posts, 264 cross-model retest runs with public verdicts, 25 reusable templates, and 60 installable AI-video Skills.

One distinction matters: 463 is the number of source-traced cases; 264 is the number of retest runs. The numbers do not mean every case was rerun.

A practical workflow

Browse the case gallery and open the creator's original post.
Choose a template from the template index. For example, the UGC creator-review template separately locks the person and product, then connects spoken lines to visible actions.
Copy the template, replace the bracketed details, and generate in Seedance.
Review the cross-model retest notes before deciding what to change.

The project also packages its prompt workflow as installable AI-video Skills for Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents.

Everything is in the GitHub repository. I welcome reproducibility feedback, source corrections, and examples where a template fails.
