  • Video cover is requested
  • Keep the design restrained and preserve photographed people exactly

Example prompts

  • “/youtube-thumbnail”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Inspect the title, topic, source images, brand assets, and any reference
  2. Select the simplest composition that communicates that promise
  3. Establish hierarchy at small size. Make the main subject recognizable before
  4. Lock any source person before generating or editing other elements. Generate
  5. Add text only if it supplies information the image cannot. Use one bold,
  6. Apply restrained finishing. Use selective contrast and color separation
  7. Export as PNG, JPEG, or WebP at 1280 x 720. Preserve a lossless working file

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 162d624. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Youtube Thumbnail loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 727 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 727 words (~1,277 tokens).

“Create a clear 16:9 thumbnail built around one idea. Favor hierarchy, curiosity, and an instantly readable subject over visual noise.”
