# Skill: youtube-channel-art
Produces a single self-contained HTML file containing **two pixel-exact canvases**:
1. **Full banner** (2560×1440) — the TV-display-ready full asset that uploads to YouTube
2. **Safe zone preview** (1546×423) — what mobile + desktop visitors actually see; ALL critical content must sit inside this zone
YouTube renders the same banner asset at vastly different aspect ratios across devices (TV uses the full 2560×1440; desktop crops to a wide letterbox; mobile crops to a tighter rectangle). The safe zone is the only region guaranteed visible everywhere. Brand mark + tagline live in the safe zone; the wider canvas extends with breathing room (or texture, or extension of brand surface) that TV viewers see.
## When to use
- User runs a YouTube channel and needs banner art that works across TV / desktop / mobile
- A `DESIGN.md` exists for the brand
## Inputs
- **Required:** brand slug, channel name (or wordmark text)
- **Required:** tagline (1 line, max ~10 words; sentence-case ending in period per brand voice)
- **Optional:** category labels (e.g. "field notes · payments · platforms"), social handle for footer
- **Optional:** secondary cue (e.g. upload schedule "new every Tuesday.")
