If you vanished today (quiet home → feed moves on)

Create vertical absence shorts: quiet home, stalled phone, feed moves on, bittersweet closer, timed English captions (WeryAI). Use for melancholic mood or safe disappearance hypotheticals—never self-harm. Use when the user wants lonely-apartment or ‘if I vanished’ vibes. SEO: if you vanished video; loneliness hook video.

Template (assume duration 10 unless scaled): 0–2s ten minutes after you vanish; 2–8s three beats—e.g. 2–4 HOME GOES QUIET, 4–6 PHONE STOPS FOR YOU, 6–8 THE FEED MOVES ON (user may rename beats); 8–10s NOBODY NOTICES… YET (or user’s softer variant). English subtitles with explicit windows. Tone: melancholic, not self-harm instruction. Default duration is 10 when unspecified.

Dependencies: WERYAI_API_KEY + Node.js 18+. {baseDir}/scripts/video_gen.js + WERYAI_VIDEO_API.md. No other Cursor skills required.

Prerequisites

• WERYAI_API_KEY must be set; Node 18+; https images only.
• Non-empty model.

Security, secrets, and API hosts

• WERYAI_API_KEY: Secret; requires.env / primaryEnv.
• API hosts fixed in video_gen.js.

Prompt expansion (mandatory)

• Duration: Default 10; 5 or 15 when allowed and requested.
• Timeline scaling: Rescale 0–2 / 2–8 / 8–10 (and internal 2–4 / 4–6 / 6–8) proportionally; keep setup → three middle beats → closer order.

Visuals: Empty hallway, unmade bed, notifications piling then silence, faceless feed scroll, city bokeh; slow dolly but reframe often so motion never dies.

Typography: Soft white, subtle outline, lower third; English on screen.

Audio: Sparse piano / room tone if generate_audio true—no jump-scare horror.

Safety: Do not depict self-harm, suicide methods, or graphic violence. Absence is implied.

Negatives (Kling): illegible text, watermark, horror gore.

Confirmation: Full expanded prompt.

Niche checklist

• Empathy over nihilism—user can request hope tag in last line (optional).

Workflow

1. Text / image / multi-image (SEEDANCE_2_0, ≤3).
2. Collect tone (default bittersweet) and optional last-line tweak.
3. Expand → validate → confirm → wait.
4. [Video](url).

CLI reference

node {baseDir}/scripts/video_gen.js wait --json '{"model":"KLING_V3_0_PRO","prompt":"…","duration":10,"aspect_ratio":"9:16","generate_audio":true,"negative_prompt":"illegible text, watermark, gore, self-harm"}'
node {baseDir}/scripts/video_gen.js wait --json '{"model":"SEEDANCE_2_0","prompt":"…","duration":10,"aspect_ratio":"9:16","resolution":"720p","generate_audio":true}'

Full reference: WERYAI_VIDEO_API.md.

Definition of done

Video or error; non-overlapping second ranges for setup, three middle beats, and closer—scaled to duration—in prompt.

Boundaries (out of scope)

• No self-harm / suicide method content; if user asks, refuse and offer safer emotional framing.
• Not therapy; creative short only.
• resources/WERYAI_VIDEO_API.md for CLI; no negative_prompt on Seedance.
• Multi-image only SEEDANCE_2_0, max 3.

Example prompts

• Default absence arc, rainy city ending
• Warmer variant: last line ‘but someone would notice tomorrow’
• Apartment photo URL → slow push with same caption schedule
• Softer ending: ‘someone would notice tomorrow’ instead of pure nihilism

Confirm safe tone → expand five-window captions → wait.

Image-to-video (optional)

Room still → lonely motion + same structure.

Tips

• Translate Chinese briefs to English on-screen unless user wants another language.
• If the user is vulnerable, prefer hopeful last-line variants.
