+# Thumbnail Prompting
+
+This page documents how thumbnail generation prompts are derived using `notes.txt` as input.
+
+---
+
+## 📂 File Requirements
+
+Each clip folder may include an optional file:
+
+```bash
+notes.txt  # One or more sentences describing the clip
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🧠 Prompt Generation
+
+**Function:** `generate_thumbnail_prompt(notes: str) -> str`
+
+* Reads content from `notes.txt`
+* Produces a rich description for thumbnail generation (via OpenAI or DALL·E)
+* Style reflects Llama Chile Shop branding:
+
+  * Whimsical, bold, Fortnite-inspired
+  * Often humorous or chaotic
+  * Includes a stylized llama or parody war/game aesthetic
+
+---
+
+## 📘 Example
+
+**notes.txt:**
+
+```
+Gramps scores Victory Royale with 12 Eliminations
+```
+
+**Generated Prompt:**
+
+```
+Create a Fortnite-style gaming thumbnail based on the moment: "Gramps scores Victory Royale with 12 Eliminations."
+Featuring a stylized llama character with bold comic-style colors. Include dramatic or humorous elements
+(e.g., explosions, dance emotes, intense lighting), and text like 'HIGHLIGHT' or 'VICTORY ROYALE'.
+Use the Llama Chile Shop color palette (f7338f, 10abba, 1c0c38). The vibe should be fun, exaggerated, and chill — inviting viewers to laugh and enjoy the moment.
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔮 Future Integration
+
+* Thumbnail prompts will drive OpenAI image generation (once supported)
+* May also be reused for auto-captioning, social posts, or overlays
