sergebulaev/youtube-skillsSkill
Turn a YouTube video idea into a designer-ready thumbnail brief: focal subject, face and emotion, a text overlay of 4 words or fewer that the title does not repeat, contrast and composition, and 2 to 3 A/B concepts for Test and Compare. Built on 2026 principles (one focal point, legible at 120 pixels, complements the title). Outputs the brief plus the Publora attach step (the image upload itself is out of band). Use to plan a thumbnail. Not for title words (use yt-title-optimizer).
Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 64 stars are split between them (about 6 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 58/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit 0829e029a5b3, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
