packaging-youtube-thumbnails

packaging-youtube-thumbnails is a skill for Codex from ericosiu/ai-marketing-skills. It costs 54 tokens per session (2,953 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning video content or a channel profile into YouTube titles, thumbnail ideas, image variants, and production handoffs. It can use saved channel identity and past performance information to guide the packaging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or revise YouTube thumbnails, compare packaging options for testing, review them on an inline board, and prepare instructions for production.
Why use it?
It keeps channel identity, episode presentation, and lessons from past results separate, so new videos can be packaged consistently without losing useful performance context.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 telemetry/version_check.py 2>/dev/null || true.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

packaging-youtube-thumbnails scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/thumbnail_guard.py, scripts/thumbnail_learning.py, tests/test_public_package.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 175 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Packaging YouTube Thumbnails

Overview

Turn new content into differentiated packages using a saved channel profile and evidence-backed performance memory. Keep identity, episode packaging, and performance learning separate.

REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use imagegen for raster generation or editing when available. Otherwise return production-ready briefs and state the rendering blocker.

Preamble

From the repository root, run the privacy-preserving version check and telemetry initializer when available:

python3 telemetry/version_check.py 2>/dev/null || true
python3 telemetry/telemetry_init.py 2>/dev/null || true

Remote telemetry is opt-in. Never log content, URLs, paths, credentials, names, business data, channel analytics, or source assets.

Resolve <skill-root> as the installed directory that contains this SKILL.md. Use that absolute directory for every bundled helper and reference. Never assume the current working directory is the skill directory.

Mode Gate

Default mode: production

Resolve the profile in order:

  1. a user-supplied path;
  2. the current project's channel profile.

If neither profile exists, switch to identity bootstrap. This public package does not bundle a creator profile, likeness, channel analytics, or approved brand assets.

When a usable profile resolves:

  • Validate it with python3 <skill-root>/scripts/thumbnail_guard.py profile --profile <profile-path>. Missing output roots or approved reference paths make the profile unusable; repair or bootstrap it instead of improvising.
  • Load it before developing hooks.
  • Load any user-reviewed co-design calibration and approved winning references before proposing titles or visual directions.
  • Do not re-audit the channel, browse its Videos grid, or rewrite the profile.
  • Use its identity rules, approved references, output root, and avoid list.
  • Treat the new transcript, recording, notes, brief, links, and user additions as one source pack. Latest explicit user instructions win.
  • Read references/performance-learning.md. If the profile output root contains performance state, generate its preflight brief; missing state never blocks a first run.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
