Social Asset Production

Social Asset Production

Core Workflow

1. Identify platform, placement, audience, asset purpose, dimensions, required text, brand assets, source images, distribution context, and review owner.
2. Verify current platform specs when exact size, crop, file type, or upload behavior matters.
3. Choose the right production approach: generated bitmap, deterministic image composition, editable vector, screenshot, thumbnail, or post-production edit.
4. Design for the smallest real use: circular profile crop, mobile feed, banner overlap, thumbnail preview, or compact article card.
5. Export useful variants with clear names. Prefer PNG for text/logo-heavy assets and JPG for photo-heavy feed or banner assets unless platform guidance differs.
6. Review legibility, crop safety, contrast, brand fit, platform constraints, accessibility, and provenance before marking the asset ready.

Asset Checks

• Text fits at mobile size and does not sit on crop edges.
• Profile assets survive circular crop and small thumbnail display.
• Banner assets account for profile photo overlap and responsive cropping.
• Post images carry one clear message and do not depend on tiny body copy.
• Video covers still read with platform UI overlays.
• File names include brand, placement, size, and variant when possible.

Freshness Rule

Platform dimensions and crop behavior change often. Before giving exact sizes for X, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, or other social surfaces, verify current official docs when practical.

Read references/social-asset-checklist.md when preparing platform-specific exports, profile/banner assets, or crop-safe review notes.

Safety Rules

• Do not use private likenesses, third-party logos, copyrighted characters, protected artwork, or confidential source assets without rights and review.
• Do not claim an AI-generated or edited asset is original, licensable, or platform-compliant without human review.
• Preserve source files or prompts when useful for provenance and iteration.
• Do not upload or publish assets unless the user explicitly asks and account access supports it.

Deliverable Shape

For social asset production, provide:

• Asset objective and placement
• Platform and size assumptions
• Source assets or prompt brief
• Final asset paths or export plan
• Variants and crop previews needed
• Accessibility and legibility checks
• Rights, provenance, and disclosure notes
• Publish readiness verdict
