Thumbnail Maker Skill

Purpose

Produce a thumbnail that reflects the actual hook/claim of the finished
script — not a generic template image.

Process

  1. Pull the confirmed hook/core claim from the finished script.
  2. Generate or compose a thumbnail: bold short text (3-6 words max,
    readable at small size) + a supporting visual tied to the actual topic.
  3. Match the channel's established visual style (colors/fonts) if one
    exists in the channel config; otherwise establish one on first run and
    record it in the config for consistency across future videos.
  4. Output at YouTube's recommended thumbnail spec (1280x720, under 2MB).

Rules

  • Text on the thumbnail must be an accurate reflection of the video's
    actual content — no clickbait that isn't backed by the script.
  • Keep a consistent style per channel over time so the channel is visually
    recognizable.
