Video Thumbnail Generator

Use this skill to create a high-clarity thumbnail or cover image from the actual video content.

Non-Negotiables

1. Use the real video as visual evidence.

   • If the thumbnail shows a person, product, UI, frame, or scene from the video, extract or inspect real frames.
   • Never invent a generic software interface, fake product screen, or unrelated person.

2. Read style references before recommending styles.

   • Use references/thumbnail-styles.md and references/thumbnail-style-recipes.md.
   • Only offer style directions supported by those references or by the user's explicit instruction.

3. Keep text short and readable.

   • Usually 2-5 words.
   • Avoid thin type, low contrast, small labels, and clutter.
