Generate on-brand YouTube thumbnails for Ben van Sprundel using Higgsfield in one shot. Use when the user says create a thumbnail, make a YT thumbnail, thumbnail for video, generate ben thumbnail, variation of last thumbnail, or shares a video concept and asks for a thumbnail. Auto-infers mode from the inputs (variation, new-with-ben, ben-plus-other, no-face), defaults to 3 variants, asks at most one question. On topic-driven runs it first researches what is working in the niche…

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 Thumbnail Generate

One-shot thumbnail generation. Takes a concept (plus optional reference image and count), infers everything else, ships 3 variants and a manifest.

## Inputs

Two things, ideally both in the user's first message:

1. **Concept**: what the thumbnail should show. A sentence or phrase. ("Claude Code Skills, why it changes everything for solo founders")
2. **Reference image(s)** (optional but recommended, may be multiple): a past thumbnail, a photo of Ben, a second subject, a style anchor, a real logo PNG, or any combination. Determines the mode AND all of them must be passed into the generation. Never silently drop a user-supplied reference; if they gave you one, it must end up in `medias[]`. If they gave you a LIST, read EVERY image in the list, then pass every relevant one (don't pre-select just one). Every reference image MUST be visually read with the `Read` tool before the prompt is built (see rule 2).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add naveedharri/benai-skills/youtube-thumbnail@sha256:8f952274b81d7d60

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260720.71f54ed, 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.
