What it does

Video Cover Image is an agent skill from itwanger/toBeBetterJavaer. Generate matched 3:4, 16:9, and 4:3 short-video cover images from toBeBetterJavaer video scripts or AI/Java technical topics. Use when the user asks for 视频封面, 封面图, 横版和竖版, 小红书/抖音/B站/快手封面, pure-text covers with 白色大字+黄色小字, reference-image-matched covers, or wants a repeatable cover workflow for Markdown scripts under docs/src/ai/video/.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `scripts/render_text_cover.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Social media graphics, Video scripts and shorts and AI video generation. It works with Java. The repository describes itself as: 一份通俗易懂、风趣幽默的Java学习指南,内容涵盖Java基础、Java并发编程、Java虚拟机、Java企业级开发、Java面试等核心知识点。学Java,就认准二哥的Java进阶之路😄.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for 视频封面
  • Pure-text covers with 白色大字+黄色小字
  • Reference-image-matched covers
  • Wants a repeatable cover workflow for Markdown scripts under docs/src/ai/video/

Example prompts

  • “/video-cover-image”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Resolve exactly one script or topic.
  2. Extract cover material from the script.
  3. Select the cover mode.
  4. Keep text short enough for image generation.
  5. For pure-text reference mode, render with scripts/render_text_cover.py.
  6. For default illustrated mode, generate the vertical cover first with image_gen.
  7. Generate the 16:9 widescreen cover with image_gen.
  8. Generate the 4:3 horizontal cover with image_gen.
  9. Run a quick visual quality gate before final response.
  10. Deliver all three images.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 828ed14. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • claude
    • python3

    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

Video Cover Image loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~589k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,615 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~589k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,615 words (~3,302 tokens).
