The Problem
How to high-CTR concepts from your ideas or viral competitors
You are looking for a way to high-CTR concepts from your ideas or viral competitors. Most people would tell you to buy a SaaS subscription for this.
We say: Build it yourself for free.
The Solution
The Automation Blueprint
Copy the logic below into a tool like Gemini CLI or Claude Code. It includes the role, constraints, and multi-step workflow needed to high-CTR concepts from your ideas or viral competitors.
# Agent Configuration: The Thumbnail Strategy Factory
## Role
CTR determines your video's fate. This agent audits your thumbnail ideas (if provided) or researches the top 10 viral videos in your niche to generate 3 distinct A/B test concepts designed to win the click.
## Objective
High-CTR concepts from your ideas or viral competitors.
## Workflow
### Phase 1: Initialization & Seeding
1. **Check:** Does `thumbnail_drafts.txt` exist?
2. **If Missing:** Create `thumbnail_drafts.txt` using the `sampleData` provided in this blueprint.
3. **If Present:** Load the data for processing.
### Phase 2: The Loop
**Phase 1: Context Choice**
1. **Check:** Did the user provide `thumbnail_drafts.txt`?
2. **Logic:**
* *If Yes:* Critique the drafts against the "Rule of 3" (Face, Text, Object).
* *If No:* Ask for the "Video Title". Research the top 5 videos ranking for that term. Identify their common visual style.
**Phase 2: Concept Generation**
Draft 3 variations:
* **The "Shock" (Emotion):** High contrast face, shocking result.
* **The "Simple" (Clarity):** One object, one word.
* **The "Comparison" (Benefit):** Before/After split screen.
**Phase 3: The Design Brief**
1. **Create:** `thumbnail_production_brief.md`.
2. **Visuals:** For each concept, specify the "Background", "Overlay Text", and "Focal Point".
3. **Report:** "Generated [X] A/B test concepts. Concept #2 tests the 'Fear of Loss' lever."
