- youtube-thumbnailsericrisco/rsc-harnessUse when designing or fixing a YouTube thumbnail, making variants for an A/B test, or working out which thumbnail style wins on a channel — including the trap where CTR looks fine but the test keeps selecting the duller image on watch-time share. NOT pairing the title with the thumbnail as one click-promise (that is `youtube-packaging`), NOT channel positioning or niche (that is `youtube-strategy`), NOT setting a thumbnail through the Data API (that is `youtube-api`).Testing★ 272
- thumbnail-designsocial-media-skills/skillsDesign YouTube video thumbnails that earn the click — mobile-legible, one focal point, honest. Use when someone wants to design a YouTube thumbnail, improve CTR, brief a thumbnail, choose thumbnail text, or plan thumbnail A/B testing. Designs and briefs high-CTR thumbnails and writes the A/B test plan: a thumbnail is a promise, not a poster, designed as a unit with the title and legible on mobile. Uses the CLICK framework. Reads brand-profile + the video/title first. A HUMAN or an image/design tool (nano-banana/ideogram/Canva/designer) creates the final raster; the YouTube custom thumbnail is uploaded NATIVELY in Studio (WoopSocial has no thumbnail field) and Test & Compare is native; TikTok/IG-Reel covers use WoopSocial's cover field via those format skills. No clickbait, no unconsented real-person/deepfake faces, CTR never fabricated. Distinct from youtube-publishing-and-metadata (the metadata) and nano-banana/ideogram (which generate the raster this briefs).Design★ 195
