youtube-thumbnail

Generate a branded YouTube thumbnail from a video title. Uses a reference photo of the creator, high-CTR thumbnail principles, and brand colours to produce a ready-to-generate image prompt for Gemini. Use this skill whenever the user says "thumbnail", "youtube thumbnail", "build me a thumbnail", or wants a video cover image before writing the script. The thumbnail-first workflow mirrors the graphic-first approach for LinkedIn: sells the video before anyone hears a word of the script.
