Develop truthful, high-curiosity YouTube title-and-thumbnail packages as inseparable "double barrel" pairs. Use when the user asks for YouTube titles, thumbnails, video packaging, or packaging sections of a production brief — for briefs, finished edits, existing videos, or early concepts.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# YouTube Title + Thumbnail Packaging

Develop title-and-thumbnail packages as inseparable pairs. Especially suited to creator, game-development, software, experiment, and documentary-style videos.

## Core principle: the double barrel

Use Derek Muller/Veritasium's method (explained at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpQZLCel_kg&t=1133s). The title and thumbnail are two complementary shots:

- The title usually supplies the subject, premise, stakes, surprising claim, or story turn.
- The thumbnail supplies a *different* concrete detail, contradiction, emotional reaction, visual mystery, or decision.
- Together they create tension and become more compelling than either alone.
- Never merely shorten or repeat the title in the thumbnail. If both elements communicate the same fact, one barrel is wasted.
- The pairing must make the actual subject understandable — not create empty mystery.

Examples of the pattern:

| Title | Thumbnail | Why it works |
| --- | --- | --- |
| "The Man Who Accidentally Killed the Most People in History" | "WHOOPS!" | Title supplies the enormous consequence; thumbnail adds ironic human error. |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add randroids-dojo/skills/youtube-title-thumbnail-packaging@sha256:21e05f21b90adc09

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260830.959017c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
