Sulfur traced the format behind faceless app pages and made it with one Seedance 2.5 prompt; the trick was declaring that the character has no face, which kept it identical across cuts. An agent swaps the gloves for brand colors and the move set for the app's own action (yoga, habits, product steps), generates the loop, overlays the counter in HTML synced to the action beats, and runs it as a numbered series. ## Status A format people ask for that has no dedicated skill yet.
