cover-design

cover-design is a skill for Claude Code from sugarforever/01coder-agent-skills. It costs 145 tokens per session (7,507 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A layout system for creating video cover images with HTML and CSS, then saving them as PNG screenshots in a browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make YouTube and Bilibili thumbnails, vertical short-video covers, article header images, social sharing cards, and matching image sets in four screen proportions.
Why use it?
It keeps large text and its position precise, which helps covers remain readable in small thumbnails and consistent across platforms.

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

cover-design 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/extract-brand-theme.sh, scripts/fetch-brand-icon.sh, scripts/render-cover.sh), 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.

Cover Design · 代码驱动的封面设计

用 HTML/CSS 写封面,然后用 Chrome DevTools MCP 截图成 PNG。字体精确可控,适合视频缩略图、文章题图、社交分享卡这类对文字位置敏感的场景。

cover-image 的分工

cover-image cover-design (本 skill)
渲染方式 AI 生图 (Replicate gpt-image-2) HTML/CSS + 浏览器截图
视觉风格 手绘 / 插画 / 编辑设计 排版驱动 / typography hero
文字精度 AI 渲染的文字常常模糊 / 错字 100% 精确
适合 文章题图 / 抽象概念 / 美术导向 视频缩略图 / 大标题 / 品牌一致性
风格扩展 通过 prompt 调整 通过新增 HTML 模板扩展

需要 thumbnail 在 160px 缩略图也读得出大字 - 用本 skill。 需要插画美感和氛围 - 用 cover-image

适用场景

  • 横屏视频缩略图 (YouTube / Bilibili)
  • 竖屏短视频封面 (抖音 / 视频号)
  • 文章 hero 题图 / 社交分享卡 (X Card / Open Graph)
  • 系列内容 (品牌一致性)

输出比例(4 套核心)

封面要覆盖横屏长视频和竖屏短视频,去重后是 4 种核心长宽比,分两个模板族生成。完整规格、平台落点像素、安全区见 references/platform-specs.md

比例 朝向 设计画布 模板族 主要平台
16:9 1920×1080 hero-typography YouTube、横屏短视频
16:10 1920×1200 hero-typography Bilibili(封面位是 16:10,不是 16:9)
9:16 1080×1920 hero-typography-vertical 抖音、视频号
3:4 1080×1440 hero-typography-vertical 视频号官方封面、抖音九宫格

一期视频通常做 1 个横屏设计 + 1 个竖屏设计,各导出 2 个比例,共 4 张图。横屏的 16:9↔16:10、竖屏的 9:16↔3:4 只差 --cv-h,同一 HTML 改一个变量就能切。竖屏务必遵守安全区(抖音/视频号首尾会叠 UI 或被裁),核心文字居中。

核心原则

0. 想法先行(方法论主线 · 最高优先)

这个 skill 只采用一套构思方法论:Paul Rand 的「想法先行」。封面不是先选模板填标题,而是先有一个想法(idea) - 这期到底要让人 get 到什么 - 再让画面为它服务。四步:研究(不预设)→ 抽取核心想法 → 删减(simplicity 是好想法的副产品)→ 缩到 160px 验证那个想法还在

核心想法不一定是产品名,形态开放:一个名字 / 一个 logo / 一个隐喻装置 / 一种氛围。下面的所有原则(单焦点、传达、精简)都是这套方法论的执行层 - 先有想法,再谈表达。完整方法论见 references/design-conception.md,这是全 skill 的构思总纲,不要混入别的设计流派。

1. Thumbnail ≠ Slide

封面缩略图在订阅列表 / 推荐位 / 搜索结果里最小可能只有 160px 宽。bento 网格、4 个 metric tiles、信息密集的布局都不工作。要的是:

  • 单焦点 - 一个主元素占据 40-60% 画面
  • 大字优先 - 主标题字号 ≥ 200px (1920×1080 画布)
  • 3 秒原则 - 缩到 160px 仍能读出主标题
  • 少即是多 - 一个视觉钩子 + 标题 + 副标 + 作者署名,完。

元素预算(默认 ≤ 5,模板一律按此交付精简版,多出来的先删再说):① 一个 kicker(品类 / 工具,可选)② 一个核心主元素(标题 或 logo / 隐喻装置 - 单焦点)③ 一句副标(可选)④ 一处署名(只一次)⑤ 至多一个领域装置(before/after、命令条、N→1、大数字 - 仅当承载信息时)。默认不放:日期、eyebrow 小字、Ep· 胶囊、扇出节点 / 纯装饰色块 / 几何形、上下分隔横线、第二处署名、重复副标。要加回任何一项,先自问「它传达了信息吗」 - 不传达就删,这是原则 0「删减」的执行。
