Turn a title and hook into a set of genuinely different on-brand thumbnail prompts, rotating distinct layouts against accent colours, with the traps that ruin AI-generated thumbnails built in. Use when generating several thumbnail or cover-image options for one piece of content, when every AI thumbnail comes back looking the same, when on-image text renders wrong, or when setting up a repeatable thumbnail system for a channel.

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

# Thumbnail Set Designer

Ask an image generator for seven thumbnails and you get seven versions of one
idea, because nothing told it to be different. This turns a title and a hook into
a set of specific, deliberately unlike prompts, and carries the traps that
otherwise cost you a whole generation run.

Pair it with `thumbnail-legibility-check` to choose between the results.

## When to use

- Generating several thumbnail or cover-image options for one piece of content.
- Every option coming back as a variation of the same composition.
- On-image text rendering wrong.
- Building a repeatable system rather than making one thumbnail.

## Step 1: plan the set

```bash
python scripts/rotation.py "Your video title" --count 7
```

Standard library only, `--json` for machine output. It pairs seven distinct
layouts against rotating accent colours, seeded from the title so the same
subject always produces the same plan.

**The layouts and colours in the script are a neutral starting set, not a house
style.** Replace `LAYOUTS` and `COLOURWAYS` with your own before real use. What
matters is the shape of the system:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jqaisystems/jqai-ai-skills/thumbnail-set-designer@sha256:6cd684945c5b95d0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260806.5ff6c30, 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.
