Analyze a reference video and reverse-engineer its style into a reusable Seedance 2.0 prompting template for the Novoads API. The output is a new formula file — like seedance-2-ugc.md — that captures the video's structure, pacing, camera work, edit style and tone so it can be recreated with any product, any person, in any setting. Use this whenever someone provides a video they want to use as a style reference, says "I want to make videos like this", "deconstruct this video…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Analyze video → reusable prompting template

Someone found a video style they love. Your job is to deconstruct it into a reusable
prompting template — a formula they can plug any product, person or setting into and get
that same style back from `seedance-2.0`.

The output is **not** a single prompt. It is a **formula file** saved into
`skills/novoads-api/prompting/prompt-library/`, built the way
[seedance-2-ugc.md](../novoads-api/prompting/prompt-library/seedance-2-ugc.md) is built: layers, variables,
option banks, rules, and a worked example, so the agent can generate unlimited prompts in
that style.

**Nothing in steps 1 to 6 touches the API.** Frame extraction, transcription and analysis
are local work on the user's own file: no calls, no credits. Only step 7, the optional test
render, spends anything, and it runs through the two gates in [SKILL.md](../novoads-api/SKILL.md)
like every other generation.

**There is a hosted alternative, and it is not the default.** `POST /v1/analyses` reads an
uploaded ad into a structured breakdown (hook boundary, beat timeline, on-screen text,
casting, layer zones) in one synchronous call, at a **flat fee per analysis** that does not move
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add novoads/agent-skills/analyze-video@sha256:314405a3d0777077

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.c0004d7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
