## What it does

From a topic, optional key points, the pose or mood you want, and optionally your photo, it writes a final prompt for an image model plus a short art direction note. Rules cover a fixed layout (title on top, you bottom right, one hero metaphor bottom left), keywords in a contrast colour on a slight upward arc, and a background palette chosen by topic. It defaults to strict 3:4 (1080×1440) and gives a pixel check for the generated file. A prompt template only; it does not generate the image itself.

## Use when

- You need a cover or thumbnail prompt for a Douyin video
- You want a consistent cover series with your face and a bold title
- You want keyword highlighting and a topic-matched colour scheme on a cover

## Not for

- Generating the image without a separate image model

## Install

- OpenClaw: `npx clawhub@latest install douyin-cover-builder`
