Skill: viral-video-replicator#

Overview#

Reverse-engineer reference videos (e.g., competitor viral content) into replicable Seedance 2.0 prompts. The pipeline: FFmpeg frame extraction -> contact sheet grids -> audio extraction + ASR transcription -> Vision LLM structured analysis -> Seedance prompt assembly with optional material replacement (face/body/clothing). Supports single and batch modes.

When to Activate#

User query contains any of:

• "视频复刻", "视频逆向", "反编译视频", "复刻爆款"

• "帮我做个穿搭视频", "生成模特图" -> use fashion-video-creator
• Pure video editing / trimming -> not applicable
• Non-fashion video analysis -> not applicable

Prerequisites#

Local tools (REQUIRED):

bash

# macOS
brew install ffmpeg

# Linux
apt install ffmpeg

# Verify
ffmpeg -version && ffprobe -version

Cloud APIs (collected via clarification):

text

REQUIRED: ARK_API_KEY + ARK_VISION_MODEL (Vision LLM for frame analysis)
CONDITIONAL: ASR_ACCESS_TOKEN (if video has dialogue)
CONDITIONAL: TOS credentials (if ASR is needed — audio transfers through TOS)

Clarification Flow#

Phase 1: API Key Acquisition#

Ask IN ORDER. Use plain language — explain WHY each service is needed.

Q1: Vision Analysis (REQUIRED)

"分析视频内容需要一个能'看懂图片'的 AI 模型。 它会看视频的截图，识别出人物长相、服装细节、场景布局、动作时间轴。 你有火山方舟的账号和 API Key 吗？还需要视觉模型的ID。"

If no API key -> STOP. Guide user to 火山方舟. Do NOT proceed.

Q2: Speech Transcription (CONDITIONAL)

"参考视频里的人有说话吗？ 如果有对话，需要用语音转文字来提取台词 — 这样复刻出的视频才能有完整的对白内容。 没有对话的纯画面视频可以跳过这步。"

If yes -> ask for ASR_ACCESS_TOKEN.

Q3: Audio Storage (CONDITIONAL — only if Q2 = yes)

"语音转文字需要通过云存储传输音频文件。 需要火山引擎对象存储(TOS)的 4 个信息：Access Key, Secret Key, Bucket, Region。"

If user has ASR but no TOS -> warn: "没有 TOS 则 ASR 无法工作，等同于没有语音转录。"

Phase 2: Mandatory Recommendations#

MUST show. Each item has WHY explanation:

text

============================================================
API Configuration — Mandatory Recommendations
============================================================

[REQUIRED] Vision model: doubao-seed-1-6-vision-250815 or newer
  WHY: Older models cannot distinguish clothing fabric textures
  (acetate vs chiffon), stitching details (overlocked vs raw edge),
  or fit nuances (slim vs A-line). Analysis quality drops ~60%.

[REQUIRED] If video has dialogue: configure BOTH ASR + TOS
  WHY: Without ASR, all spoken content is lost. The generated prompt
  will only contain visual descriptions. Video fidelity drops from
  ~90% to ~50% because dialogue drives 40%+ of viewer engagement.
  TOS is the audio transfer pipeline — no TOS means no ASR.

[REQUIRED] Video resolution: 720p or higher
  WHY: Frames are extracted at 360x640 thumbnails. Source below 480p
  means thumbnails are upscaled garbage — clothing patterns and
  textures become unrecognizable blobs.

[RECOMMENDED] Exact mode for same-category replacement
  WHY: "exact" does nested structured analysis (10 fields with typed
  subobjects) — precision matters when replacing one dress with another.
  "rewrite" does flat analysis (10 string fields) — better for
  extracting viral logic across different product categories.
============================================================

Phase 3: Mode Selection#

"你要分析几个视频？单个还是批量？"

Q5: Replicate Mode (per video if batch)

"你想怎么复刻？

• 精确复刻: 逐帧分析每个细节，尽可能1:1还原
• 提取改写: 提取爆款节奏和逻辑，用新方式重新演绎"

Q6: Material Replacement (per video if batch)

"要替换视频中的哪些元素？

• 不换（纯复刻）
• 换人脸/身材（上传模特参考图）
• 换衣服（上传商品图）
• 都换（上传模特图 + 商品图）"

Batch-Specific Recommendations#

text

============================================================
Batch Mode — Additional Recommendations
============================================================

[REQUIRED] ALL videos should be 720p+
  WHY: One low-res video doesn't just fail for itself — it wastes
  API costs on a Vision LLM call that returns unusable analysis.

[RECOMMENDED] Pre-sort by replicate mode
  WHY: exact mode takes 2-3 min/video (nested analysis), rewrite
  takes 1-2 min/video (flat analysis). Grouping avoids context switches.

[WARNING] Each video runs the FULL pipeline independently.
  N videos = approximately N * 2-3 minutes. Plan accordingly.
============================================================

Four Replacement Modes#

ModeWhat User Uploads@image Tags in PromptWhat Gets ReplacedcloneNothingNone (pure text)Nothing — exact replicationface_swapFace/body reference@image1 = face refPerson replaced, clothing preservedoutfit_swapGarment product image@image1 = garmentClothing replaced, person preservedfull_swapGarment + face reference@image1 = garment, @image2 = face refBoth replaced

Mode auto-determination:

text

has_person_ref AND has_garment_ref -> full_swap
has_garment_ref only -> outfit_swap
has_person_ref only -> face_swap
neither -> clone

Core Workflow#

Step 0: Environment Check (mandatory, never skip)#

bash

ffmpeg -version && ffprobe -version

• Returns version -> proceed to Step 1
• command not found -> guide install (brew/apt/choco). Still fails after install -> Soft fallback: Ask user: "FFmpeg 不可用，你能手动提供视频截图和音频文件吗？" If user provides frames manually -> skip FFmpeg steps, proceed from Step 4 (Vision analysis) with user-provided images. Quality warning (MUST show to user): "手动截图模式下分析质量会显著降低：无精确时间戳标注、无均匀3fps采样、帧数可能不足导致动作时间轴不准确。建议安装 FFmpeg 以获得最佳效果。" If user cannot provide frames -> STOP. FFmpeg is required for automated extraction.

Step 0b: Verify API Key (before reaching Step 4)#

Validate ARK_API_KEY early to avoid wasting FFmpeg processing time on an invalid key:

If bash/Python available:

python

resp = httpx.get(f"{ARK_API_BASE}/api/v3/models",
                 headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {ARK_API_KEY}"}, timeout=10)

• 200 -> proceed
• 401/403 -> STOP. Key invalid. Fix before continuing.

If no code execution: Trust user-provided key, validate on first Vision API call.

Single Mode#

text

Step 1: Collect API keys + mode + replacement materials
Step 2: Extract frame grids (3fps) + extract audio — PARALLEL via asyncio.gather()
        (Both are FFmpeg subprocesses launched concurrently in Python, not LLM-level parallelism)
        Read references/frame-extraction.md for FFmpeg specs
Step 3: Upload audio to TOS -> ASR transcription
        Read references/asr-pipeline.md for protocol
Step 4: Vision LLM analysis (grids + transcript -> structured JSON)
        Read references/vision-analysis.md for exact vs rewrite schemas
Step 5: Determine replacement mode from uploaded materials
Step 6: Assemble Seedance 2.0 prompt
        Read references/reverse-prompt.md for 4-mode assembly
Step 7: Generate mode-specific SOP
Step 8: Validate output (see below)
Step 9: Return: prompt + analysis + transcript + SOP + replacement summary

Batch Mode#

text

Step 0: Verify FFmpeg
Step 1: Collect API keys + video count + per-video configs
Step 2: For each video (sequential):
  a. Extract frame grids + audio (parallel)
  b. TOS upload -> ASR transcription
  c. Vision LLM analysis
  d. Determine replacement mode
  e. Assemble prompt
  f. Generate SOP
  g. Validate this video's output
  h. Mark: completed / failed
Step 3: Return all results with progress summary

Progress: queued -> processing -> completed/failed
Partial success: batch completes even if some videos fail.

Output Validation (mandatory, never skip)#

Before delivering results, verify ALL:

• Analysis JSON is valid and contains all required fields?
• Prompt correctly uses @image tags matching the replacement mode?
• If clone mode: prompt has NO @image references (pure text)?
• If outfit_swap/full_swap: prompt includes "Do not alter clothing pattern, color, texture or style"?
• If has_speech: dialogue content is present in prompt (not empty)?
• SOP upload instructions match the number of images for this mode?
• Replacement summary correctly lists what was preserved vs replaced?

Any NO -> fix before delivering. Do NOT send unvalidated output.

Degraded Modes (graceful degradation chain)#

Failure PointDegraded ModeWhat User Still GetsQuality ImpactASR fails (TOS/timeout)Visual-only analysisPrompt with visual descriptions, no dialogue50% fidelity — all spoken content lostVision exact mode failsAuto-retry with rewrite modeFlat analysis (less precise)70% fidelity — loses nested structure (clothing/scene subfields)Vision rewrite also failsReturn raw materialsFrame grids + transcript for manual analysis20% — no automated analysis, user must write prompt manuallySeedance prompt assembly failsReturn analysis onlyAnalysis JSON + transcript30% — user has data but no ready-to-use promptFFmpeg unavailable (user provides screenshots)Manual frame modeAnalysis from user-provided images~40% — no timestamps, uneven sampling, incomplete frame coverage

Always prefer delivering partial results over delivering nothing. Every degraded output MUST clearly state: (1) what is missing, (2) why, and (3) the estimated quality impact.

See references/fallbacks.md for detailed recovery procedures per failure case.

一位鹅蛋脸、白皙肤色、黑色长直发中分自然垂落、纤细高挑身材、淡妆的年轻女性，穿着@图片1中的服装。在现代公寓客厅中，右侧落地窗自然光。她的动作：0-2s: 正面微笑打招呼；2-5s: 右手拉起衣角展示面料...对着镜头说：「姐妹们你们快看...这个面料...滑滑的凉凉的...你们猜多少钱？不到两百！超显腿长，闭眼入。」语气自然亲切，像在跟闺蜜视频通话。Do not alter clothing pattern, color, texture or style. 手持vlog镜头感，竖屏9:16。

Output 3 — Transcript: "姐妹们你们快看...这个面料是醋酸缎面的..."

Output 4 — SOP: outfit_swap mode, 1 image upload (@图片1=garment)

Output 5 — Replacement Summary: garment_replaced=true, original_preserved=[face, body, scene, actions, dialogue, camera]

Domain Knowledge Role Declaration#

The reference files contain FFmpeg specs, ASR protocols, Vision prompts, and prompt assembly templates. Their role is to assist pipeline execution — providing exact API formats, analysis schemas, and assembly rules. They do NOT replace the execution workflow. Never output reference content directly as the final answer. Always execute: extract frames -> transcribe -> analyze -> assemble -> validate -> deliver.
