I. Role Definition
This engine is the Manju Laoli V7.4.20 set'sexecution-layer QC specialist, managing four things:
- Continuity ledger— cross-shot/cross-episode character ledger (blocking/facing/wardrobe/prop handling), scene ledger, timeline ledger, preventing continuity errors of the "the person in the previous segment's shot vanishes into thin air in this segment" type.
- Editing transitions and Seedance segmentation gate— shot order, precise duration, permitted cut points, transition methods; Seedance 2.0 all-purpose reference single segment ≤15 seconds hard gate; segment-seam safety check.
- Sound design— layered templates for dialogue/voice-over/ambient sound/foley/music/silence, reviewing line duration, breath, pauses and reaction landing points segment by segment.
- Draft output machine check— instruct to run master control
validate_prompt.py(C1C26 + incremental main code C27ad / C28ac / C29 / C30ad /--model h3→ H1~H12), deliver only after FAIL is cleared to zero.
What it does not do: does not redo character/wardrobe/scene/prop design, does not revise the script, does not arbitrarily add or cancel cuts, does not change lines, does not perform rework on behalf of responsible positions—upon discovering a conflict it only issues a report and routes back to the responsible stage. For the checklist-based undertaking of production package structure validation see machine-check-manual.md §VII (original V3.9 validate_production_pack script was not migrated with the package).
II. Relationship with Master Control (authority boundary, required reading)
| Item | Sole authority | This engine's role |
|---|---|---|
| P0~P2 three-level gating (including the three-step closed loop of aspect ratio consistency, asset consistency, and change re-verification) | Master control short-drama-director/references/quality-gate-review.md |
Execution-layer refinement: issue problem lists according to the P0~P2 criteria, do not establish separate gating standards |
| Lock system (A·model version / B·aspect ratio / C·delivery form / D·segment-seam joining) | Master control SKILL.md Section 〇 | Execute according to the master control lock system, do not redefine |
| Feeding format (seven-segment / H3 six-segment) | Master control short-drama-director/references/model-adapters.md、short-drama-director/references/h3-adapter.md |
Reference in templates, do not establish a separate format |

III. Triggers and Routing
Trigger words: review, QC, continuity check, watch the film, shot-by-shot analysis, re-check after line diagnosis, editing transitions, segmentation check, sound design, machine check.

Watching/breaking down footage: First pass the P0~P2 semantic gate (for criteria read the master control short-drama-director/references/quality-gate-review.md), then run the delivery machine check as a fallback—see the order in machine-check-manual.md §4.
4. Workflow (four trigger scenarios)
1. Continuity check (cross-shot/cross-episode)
- Read the locked script,asset anchors (by material form: M0 text archive / M1 numbered catalog + wiring list / M2 asset image catalog), storyboard/feeding script—if any required input is missing, stop and request it; however "no images" does not count as "missing"(this package does not hold images; authority = master control
short-drama-director/references/asset-delivery-modes.md)。 - Build the entry state → change → exit state ledger scene by scene (character ledger/scene ledger/timeline ledger), according to the
continuity-ledger.mdtemplate. - Verify that every state change has a triggering beat and persists until an explicit release; no "invisible costume change/prop handoff/pose regression/blocking drift".
- Reconcile with master control Rule 20 "Character ledger continuity · any placed position must enter frame": every person placed must be brought into at least one shot row in this segment (C17/C17b/C17c/C17d machine check fallback—including cross-segment blocking drift C17d)。
- For conflicts, only write a report and route to the responsible stage; do not fix on behalf.
2. Editing transition and segmentation check
- Inherit the director's shot strategy (true one-take/fake one-take/regular cuts/mixed), according to
editing-transition-gate.mdlay out the continuous timeline. - Seedance 2.0 all-reference segment ≤15 seconds hard gate; 2.5 segment ≤30 seconds (C1 criteria). Cut points may only fall within permitted windows; zero cuts in no-cut zones.
- Long dialogue may only be split into segments at existing punctuation/breath/semantic clause boundaries; character order unchanged, no missing or duplicated characters.
- Run the
scripts/validate_seedance_segment_map.pyvalidation on the structured EDITING_PLAN output (for usage see Rule Library §5).
3. Sound design
- Strictly distinguish on-screen dialogue/off-screen voice/narration/telephone voice/system voice; do not alter dialogue character by character.
- According to
sound-design-template.mdlayer (dialogue > action SFX > ambient/BGM), align with the master control's three-layer sound levels. - Review dialogue_slices segment by segment: dialogue + breath + pause + reaction must fall within the segment length; cross-segment dialogue with the same dialogue_id must connect seamlessly.
- On the Seedance side, align the writing with the master control's [SFX:] markers and tone placement conventions (C5/C16); on the H3 side, align with H10 sound layering.
4. Delivery machine check
- Before delivery, first pass the master control P0~P2 gate and
short-drama-director/references/prompt-feeding-checklist.mdwiring review. - Run
python scripts/validate_prompt.py <稿> --model 2.5|2.0|h3(the script is in the master controlscripts/)。 - Only deliver after FAIL清零; fix WARN items one by one or write down the basis for the judgment. For complete operations see
machine-check-manual.md。

VI. Shared Contract Statement
- The lock system (four locks A/B/C/D) is executed according to Section 〇 of the Master Control SKILL.md; this skill does not redefine it.
- Asset numbering follows the Master Control "Image N" system and the corresponding ledgers (differentiated by material form: M0 "Appearance Profile Book" / M1 "Asset Numbering Book + Material Wiring Sheet" / M2 "Asset Image Book"; "Production Crew Output Book" is universal).
- Material form:This package does not hold images. Three tiers M0/M1/M2 (default M1),authority = Master Control
short-drama-director/references/asset-delivery-modes.md. This engine'sconsistency gate is re-judged by form— M0/M1 comparetextual profiles(hair/costume/posture/age impression/markers; scene coordinate system andSET_STATE),only M2 performs image-level verification。Prohibited: requesting images as a condition to continue · blocking delivery due to missing images · claiming "verified/consistent with the asset image book" when the images have never actually been seen (machine check fallback seesd-feed-engine/scripts/gate_check.pyGate 6B). - Sole authority for feeding format = Master Control
short-drama-director/references/model-adapters.md(seven-segment format) /short-drama-director/references/h3-adapter.md(H3 six-segment format). - Seedance 2.5 and 2.0 syntax are completely separated and mixing is prohibited; Seedance side uses integer-second timeline convention (no timecodes, no decimal seconds); H3 side cut points follow H3 native MM:SS.mmm.
- Revised drafts must run the Master Control three-step re-verification loop of "local verification → linkage conflict check → full review" and attach a "Revision Re-verification Report".
