| description | Generate unified, on-brand Instagram Reel covers for Yuval (YUV.AI Neon Phoenix system) โ the signature look is a giant Hebrew headline BEHIND the subject cutout + a punch line IN FRONT (depth effect), on rich black with a dim neural-net field, series-colored chip + phoenix mark. Use whenever Yuval asks for an Instagram/Reel/TikTok/YouTube cover, thumbnail, ืขืืืคื, ืงืืืจ, ืชืืื ืืื, cover image for a video, or wants his Instagram grid to look consistent. One command per cover; background removal included in the pipeline.

yuv-reel-covers
Unified Reel-cover system so the Instagram grid reads as ONE brand. Canvas 1080ร1920, all key
content inside the 3:4 grid-crop safe zone (y 285โ1635).
v2 โ Editorial Poster system (THE standard; read style-spec.md first)
Reverse-engineered from the SHELLY sports-editorial + cinematic posters Yuval loves. Two new
templates in gen_cover.py: editorial (giant skewed condensed type front/behind the cutout,
โฆ ticker strips, power-word stack + line icons, neon yellow #E9FF3D on vivid sky/sunset/ink) and
cinema (pink/cyan split-light duotone, white type behind the head). Auto-fits type to width,
Hebrew (Rubik 900) and English (Anton) both supported.
- Cover Studio app โ LIVE at https://hoodini.github.io/yuv-cover-studio/ (also cover-studio.html for offline). Drop photo + cutout, type headline, live preview, Export 1080ร1920 / 1080ร1350 PNG.
Includes an AI PROMPTS tab that writes Midjourney/Flux/Nano-Banana-2 prompts in the exact
style (prompts.md has the master formulas + the hybrid pipeline).
- Headless:
py gen_cover.py editorial --bg sky --cutout assets/yuval-cutout.png --back "STEAL MY|PROMPTS" --ticker "ALL DAY,EVERY PLAY,NO LIMITS" --stack "FOCUS,ENERGY,DISCIPLINE,VICTORY" --tag "AI" --cut-h 1060 --out my-cover
v1 templates (behind / stack) โ legacy, still available below.
The formula (what makes the grid uniform)
- Always: rich-black
#0A0A0A ground + dim neural-net field + vignette. Never white, never a raw screenshot.
- Series chip (top-left, mono, outline pill) + phoenix mark (top-right) โ SAME positions every cover.
- Series colors (this is the variety inside the uniformity):
pink
#FF1464 = news / hot takes / Claude ยท cyan #00E5FF = tutorials / dev ยท amber #F9AD45 = fun / wildlife.
behind template (the signature): giant Rubik-900 headline (1โ3 words, auto-sized), one word
in the series color, partially BEHIND the subject cutout; punch line IN FRONT at chest level
(--front-top, default 1285). Cutout gets a series-color rim glow.stack template (no photo): giant glowing Anton/Rubik stacked text + Rubik subtitle โ for
tool/code covers (e.g. "CLAUDE CODE / ืืืืจืื ืืืื").- Handle
@yuval_770 ยท YUV.AI bottom-center, small mono.
How to run (from this skill's folder or any project with assets/+fonts/ copied)
# 0) prereqs: Node 22+, FFmpeg. Builder is pure-stdlib Python (py on Windows, python3 on Mac).
# 1) one-time per new photo โ local AI background removal:
npx --yes hyperframes@latest remove-background photo.png -o assets/cutout.png
# 2) generate a cover (renders headless via HyperFrames -> PNG):
py gen_cover.py behind --img assets/cutout.png --back "ืงืืื ืืกืงืืืค" --front "ืืฉื ื ืืื!" `
--accent-back 1 --color pink --tag "CLAUDE ยท AI" --out my-cover
py gen_cover.py stack --back "CLAUDE CODE" --sub "ืืืืจืื ืืืื" --accent-back -2 --color cyan --tag DEV --out cc
Args: --accent-back N = which word of the BACK text gets the series color (-1 none, -2 all);
--size-back overrides auto-fit; --front-top moves the front line (keep at chest, never the face).
A default cutout of Yuval (studio) ships in assets/yuval-cutout.png.
Rules for the agent
- Headline โค3 words back + โค2 words front. If longer โ rewrite tighter; this is a poster, not a caption.
- Pick the series color by content type (mapping above) โ don't mix colors in one cover.
- Front text must NOT cover the face โ chest level only; adjust
--front-top if the photo differs.
- New photo โ remove-background FIRST (step 1); never paste a rectangular photo.
- Read the rendered PNG and check: headline readable behind the head, chip+phoenix inside safe zone,
nothing critical above y=285 or below y=1635.
- Hebrew glyphs come from the bundled Rubik subset โ exotic punctuation may be missing; refetch with
builders/fetch_hebrew_fonts.py from yuv-video-director if needed.
