thumbnail-lab
Purpose
Create a pragmatic thumbnail planning sheet from raw script text before design work starts.
Runbook
- Feed the helper a script file or pass text over stdin.
- Run
scripts/spec.pyto generate headline options, short overlay phrases, and a simple shot list. - Use the output as a briefing aid for manual design instead of auto-publishing it unchanged.
- Keep claims grounded in the source script to avoid misleading visual hooks.
Stop conditions
- Abort if the source script contains unsupported claims or regulated advice.
- Abort before using a generated hook that materially overpromises the content.
- Abort if the current variant is marked unsupported.
Output format
- Headline options
- Short overlay copy ideas
- Shot prompts mapped to source beats
