Publication and release gate

• Curation gate: this page can stay public only while curationStatus is published.
• Rights gate: source rights must be known, non-blocked, and attribution must remain visible.
• Discovery gate: public HTML, Markdown, llms.txt, sitemap, and search-index entries are generated only from published records.
• First-party prompt policy: HolyCrab authored this prompt recipe; it is not copied from a third-party prompt library, campaign, or creator source.
• Commercial safety policy: use owned, licensed, partner-provided, or fictional assets and avoid unauthorized logos, packaging, trademarks, campaigns, likenesses, music, choreography, and endorsements.
• Cost transparency policy: track duration, input type, reference complexity, audio, retry count, output result, review outcome, and cost per approved clip.

Prompt reuse checklist

• Start from a prompt category that matches the job: product ad, UGC ad, ecommerce, vertical hook, cinematic shot, image-to-video, audio-video, or character consistency.
• Use owned or authorized references and state exactly what each reference controls.
• Keep the first Seedance test to one subject, one motion, one camera path, and one final payoff.
• Record duration, aspect ratio, input type, audio, retry count, output result, review outcome, and cost per approved clip.

Reusable pattern

Mode: T2V. One continuous 8 second cinematic shot inside a small apartment at night. A fictional adult character stands near a rain-streaked window, city light reflections moving across the glass. Camera starts behind the shoulder, slides slowly to the side, and ends on the character's hand touching the cold window. Lighting: soft blue window light with warm lamp edge. No real actor likeness, no brand signage, no copyrighted poster, no dialogue, no hard cuts.

Rewrite rule

Replace subject, setting, reference role, camera path, final payoff, and cost assumptions with the user's owned or authorized material.
