## Author's description

Create high-click-through YouTube thumbnails and vertical video covers through the Higgsfield CLI. Builds a truthful information-gap concept, preserves up to three referenced identities, supports logos and controlled variants, renders the main image with Nano Banana Pro, and applies focused Seedream edits. Use when: "make a YouTube thumbnail", "thumbnail for this video", "MrBeast-style cover", "Shorts cover", or "Instagram video cover". Chain after any video workflow once its truthful topic and visual direction are known. NOT for producing the video itself (use higgsfield-generate), product catalog photos (use higgsfield-product-photoshoot), or marketplace cards (use higgsfield-marketplace-cards).
