Create, revise, or review Latent Space or Forward Deployed Engineering YouTube thumbnails. Use for episode thumbnail direction and artwork, not unrelated channels or general publishing.
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
# Latent Space Thumbnail Director Use the built-in `$imagegen` tool for **every new or revised thumbnail**, including first looks, quote options, review-board previews and A/B variants. Generate each direction with a separate prompt, using the guest’s real photo and approved branding as references. A hook shortlist can be text only. As soon as you show artwork, show an actual ImageGen result. Never substitute a scripted photo-and-text layout, template render or contact sheet of text swaps. If ImageGen is unavailable, report the blocker and follow its skill’s fallback policy. Code may resize, compress, or arrange finished artwork for review. Read [preferences](references/preferences.md); consult [resources](references/resource-index.md) for assets and [examples](references/example-index.md) for relevant approved work. Apply the FDE template only when that series is requested. 1. Ground ideas in the episode. Review several recent thumbnails on the target channel or series, and compare their composition, type, scale and imagery; distinguish observed patterns from a rigid template. …

How to install
mdr add swyxio/skills/latent-space-thumbnail-director@sha256:3ee60469d47819c8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.1acf58f, 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.
