What it tells the AI to do
The full instructions, exactly as they run.
Produce {{ count | default(3) }} thumbnail options at 1280×720.
- Topic: {{ topic }}
- Headline: {{ headline }}
Two rules that decide whether a thumbnail works:
1. **Compose the text in code, not in the model.** Generate the background/subject
with `inference image`, then burn the headline in with ImageMagick or
ffmpeg `drawtext` on a computer. Diffusion models cannot spell reliably, and
a misspelled thumbnail is unusable.
2. **Leave the bottom-right corner clear** — the duration badge covers it, and
anything important there is lost.
Aim for one focal point and text large enough to read at 168px wide. Deliver as
a `media.gallery` with `selection` so the user can pick their A/B pair.
## Delivery
Write the finished artifact into Drive. Never upload a user's content to a
third-party file host (`0x0.st`, `catbox.moe`, `transfer.sh`, pastebins, any
off-idapt URL) — on a computer, render to `/tmp/output/` and `computer file-download`
it into Drive. If you catch yourself reaching for `curl -F`, stop: you already
hold the artifact.- image
