YouTube Thumbnail

youtube-thumbnail

Dedicated YouTube thumbnail generator — interviews you for exactly the style elements you want (environment, text budget, extras, accent color), then renders high-contrast, vibrant, face-consistent thumbnails with Nano Banana Pro and verifies every frame before showing it. Use whenever you want to create, redo, or iterate thumbnail variants for a video — "make a thumbnail", "new version of B", "more realistic", "less text", "put the app on the screen", "another angle for the test". Renders into videos/<project>/packaging/thumbs/. Works standalone or as the render engine for Stage 5 of /packaging (which owns titles, bets, and descriptions).

Install

Run this in your project folder. It works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and dozens of other agents.

$ npx skills add hassancs91/claude-youtube-editor --skill youtube-thumbnail

Needs Node.js. Add -g to install for every project, or -a claude-code to skip the agent picker.

How to use YouTube Thumbnail

Once it's installed, Claude reads this skill on its own whenever a request matches what it's for, so you don't have to mention it by name. In Claude Code you can also run it directly by typing /youtube-thumbnail.

It contains no scripts, only instructions and reference files, so it can't run code on its own.

What the instructions cover

  1. 1The baseline look (always on, never asked about)
  2. 2The element menu (opt-in — this is what you ask about)
  3. 3The flow
  4. 4Failure modes → fixes (learned on real renders)
