Meme Maker
Create meme drafts from a curated template registry without bundling copyrighted template images.
Quick start
- Search:
{baseDir}/scripts/meme.mjs search "bad choice"
- Suggest:
{baseDir}/scripts/meme.mjs suggest "slow python image scripts"
- Local SVG:
{baseDir}/scripts/meme.mjs render drake --text "Python cold starts" --text "Node sharp cache" --out /tmp/meme.svg
- Local PNG:
{baseDir}/scripts/meme.mjs render drake --text "Maybe API" --text "Local render" --out /tmp/meme.png
- Imgflip hosted:
{baseDir}/scripts/meme.mjs render drake --service imgflip --text "before" --text "after"
Modes
local is default. It downloads template images from their source URL with a browser-like user agent, caches them under the user cache dir, embeds the image in an SVG, and writes SVG. If --out ends in .png, it uses sharp when available.imgflip calls Imgflip caption_image and prints the hosted URL. It requires IMGFLIP_USER and IMGFLIP_PASS unless supplied via --username and --password.
Commands
list [--json]: list the built-in curated templates.search <query> [--json]: search template names, aliases, tags, and use cases.suggest <topic> [--limit N] [--json]: rank templates for the topic.render <template> --text TEXT ... [--out PATH] [--service local|imgflip]: generate a meme.refresh [--limit N] [--json]: fetch current Imgflip top templates for research; do not overwrite the curated registry automatically.
Template registry
- Read
{baseDir}/references/templates.json for the curated 20-template registry.
- Each entry includes Imgflip metadata, Know Your Meme link, aliases, tags, fields, and local text placement boxes.
- Prefer
suggest first when the user describes a joke but does not know the format.
Hygiene
- Do not ship template image files in the skill.
- Do not use shared or hardcoded Imgflip credentials.
- Keep Know Your Meme lookups out of the render hot path; use KYM links for explanation/provenance only.
