Turn cover metadata (title / creator / subtitle / medium) into an album, book, podcast, report, deck, or magazine cover. Aspect auto-picked per medium. Optional photo/artwork reference. Multi-variant output. Use when: 'album cover', 'book cover', 'podcast cover', 'report cover', 'обложка для альбома / книги / подкаста / отчёта'.

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

<objective>
Cover image generator. Input: cover metadata (title + creator + optional subtitle + medium type) plus optional reference image (artwork, photo, logo). Output: N variants in the medium's native aspect.

Distinct from `flyer-maker`:
- No event details (date / location / CTA) — covers have title + creator
- Aspect varies by MEDIUM, not platform (album = 1:1; book = 2:3 portrait; podcast = 1:1; magazine = 2:3 magazine cover; report = 1:√2 A4)
- Different composition conventions (titles dominate; minimal supporting metadata)

Distinct from `image-prompt`:
- Structured input (medium / title / creator) vs free-form prompt
- Multi-variant batch (default 2-3 takes per medium)
- Auto-picks model based on text needs + style

This skill does NOT:
- Generate physical book bindings / album sleeves / cover spreads (back covers, spines) — single front-cover image only
- Generate ISBN barcodes / catalog numbers — overlay manually in your editor
- Source rights-cleared imagery — provide your own photo via --photo
- Cover scaling for specific marketplace dimensions (Amazon KDP / Spotify Canvas / Apple Music) — generate at the medium's standard aspect, resize/upscale in a DTP tool

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mikefluff/skills/cover-maker@sha256:0b7d504bdd4ea45e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260803.a0f8d28, 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.
