# Social Thumbnails
Make a static thumbnail whose subject and headline remain clear at feed size.

## Compose
- Preserve the supplied headline and claims. If the text is too long, offer a shorter version without inventing results, statistics, urgency, or endorsements.
- Use the requested dimensions and platform safe area. If no size is supplied, use 1280 by 720 and identify that as a general landscape canvas, not a verified platform requirement.
- Choose one focal subject, one strong headline, and no more than one supporting label. Leave breathing room around edges and keep important elements away from corners likely to be covered by platform controls.
- Place supplied assets deliberately; preserve aspect ratios. If an asset is missing, use a text-led composition or ask for it. Do not substitute an invented person, product screenshot, or logo.
- Keep contrast strong with a simple palette. Prefer two explicit headline lines over shrinking text until it becomes unreadable.
- Use available fonts and record fallbacks. Produce self-contained SVG using editable text and shapes. Escape supplied text in XML and exclude scripts and external URLs.

## Check
Render at full size and approximately 320 pixels wide when possible. Check headline spelling, contrast, text clipping, and whether the subject is still recognizable. If no renderer is available, say which visual checks remain. Do not claim a platform-specific crop was verified without checking its current requirements.

## Deliver
Write thumbnail.svg to a new task folder. Provide a rendered PNG only if an available tool actually exports it; many upload forms do not accept SVG. Mention font dependencies and any crop assumptions. Do not post to an account or replace existing artwork.

How to use

Choose Install, run the command in your project folder, and select your AI tool. Alternatively, copy the instructions into your coding assistant, then describe what you want to make. Open the resulting SVG in a browser or vector editor. Your AI assistant may have its own usage costs.

Remove private information and check the result before using it.

Tips & limitations

Supply the exact headline, desired dimensions, colors, and any images you have permission to use.

Check the headline at feed size and verify the crop for your intended platform.

The editable output is SVG. Most social upload forms need a PNG or JPEG export; the skill explains that distinction.
