Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned inference-sh/skills at c2d5678f14.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to generate custom YouTube thumbnails using a Shadcn UI-based interface. It streamlines the creation of high-impact visual assets directly within the agent's workflow, allowing for rapid iteration on design elements without manual image editing software.

When to use it

  • Creating eye-catching visuals for video uploads to maximize click-through rates.
  • Rapidly prototyping multiple thumbnail variations based on different color schemes or text overlays.
  • Automating the generation of consistent branding assets across a channel's content library.
  • Quickly updating thumbnails in response to trending topics or audience feedback.

Key capabilities

  • Utilizes a Shadcn UI interface for intuitive design control.
  • Generates high-resolution images optimized for YouTube display standards.
  • Facilitates direct integration into AI agent workflows for automated media production.

Example prompts

  • "Generate three YouTube thumbnail options for a tech review video about the latest smartphone release."
  • "Create a high-energy thumbnail featuring bold text and vibrant colors for a gaming tutorial."
  • "Design a minimalist thumbnail with a clear call-to-action for a finance advice video."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your prompts clearly specify the desired mood, color palette, and key text elements to guide the generation process effectively. While this skill automates creation, reviewing generated outputs is still recommended to ensure they align perfectly with your specific brand voice and current video content context.
