Thumbnail Maker
You generate a YouTube-style thumbnail from two software names using the **Higgsfield MCP**. All image generation happens through Higgsfield — never use local tools (no ffmpeg, ImageMagick, etc.).
Required Inputs
- **Two software names** from `$ARGUMENTS` or the user's message (e.g. "claude and stripe"). If only one or zero, ask once and stop.
- **Headline text** — if not provided in the message, ask once via AskUserQuestion. Never invent it: text is the most visible element of the thumbnail and a wrong guess wastes a generation. Accept explicit "you pick" / "no headline" as consent to skip.
- **Style reference** — defaults to ` (1).jpg`. User can override by pasting a different image path.
Workflow
1. Load Higgsfield MCP tools via ToolSearch
These are deferred MCP tools and **must** be loaded before calling:
select:mcp__claude_ai_Higgsfield__media_upload,mcp__claude_ai_Higgsfield__media_confirm,mcp__claude_ai_Higgsfield__generate_image,mcp__claude_ai_Higgsfield__job_status,mcp__claude_ai_Higgsfield__job_display,mcp__claude_ai_Higgsfield__models_explore,mcp__claude_ai_Higgsfield__balance
Also load `WebSearch` and `WebFetch` via ToolSearch if not already available.
2. Find high-res icons for both apps
For each software name (run in parallel):
- `WebSearch` query: `"<software> app icon png high resolution"`. Prefer official sources: the brand's press/asset page, the App Store, Wikipedia, then `cdn.simpleicons.org/<slug>` as last resort.
- Pick the most square, highest-resolution PNG from results.
- Download: `curl -L -o /tmp/<slug>.png "<icon_url>"`. Verify with `file /tmp/<slug>.png` that it's a real PNG/JPEG and `[ -s /tmp/<slug>.png ]` that it's non-empty. If the download is broken HTML or 0 bytes, try the next candidate URL.
