meme-text-overlay

name	meme-text-overlay
description	Adds meme-style top and bottom text to images using bundled Impact and CJK fonts. Use when overlaying captions on an image, generating meme images, or reproducing the meme_agent text rendering behavior.

Meme Text Overlay

Use this skill when an image needs meme-style captions: white text, black stroke, centered top and bottom placement, automatic wrapping, and CJK-aware font selection.

Included files

• scripts/overlay_text.py: reusable Pillow-based CLI and Python helper.
• fonts/impact.ttf: default font for Latin and Cyrillic text.
• fonts/BlackHanSans-Regular.ttf: Korean Hangul fallback.
• fonts/DelaGothicOne-Regular.ttf: Japanese kana fallback.
• fonts/ZCOOLQingKeHuangYou-Regular.ttf: Chinese/CJK fallback.

Default workflow

1. Use scripts/overlay_text.py unless the user specifically needs code integrated elsewhere.
2. Pass the source image, output path, top text, and bottom text.
3. Keep the default maximum output side of 512px; the script preserves the source image aspect ratio. Use --preserve-size only when the user asks to keep original dimensions.

Example:

python scripts/overlay_text.py input.png output.png \
  --top "TOP TEXT" \
  --bottom "BOTTOM TEXT"

Preserve original image dimensions:

python scripts/overlay_text.py input.png output.png \
  --top "верхний текст" \
  --bottom "нижний текст" \
  --preserve-size

Rendering behavior

• Latin and Cyrillic text is uppercased before wrapping.
• CJK text is wrapped character by character and is not uppercased.
• Font choice is based on all caption text:
  • Hangul: BlackHanSans-Regular.ttf
  • Kana: DelaGothicOne-Regular.ttf
  • Other CJK: ZCOOLQingKeHuangYou-Regular.ttf
  • Non-CJK: impact.ttf
• Text is drawn in white with a black stroke.
• Top text starts at margin_ratio from the top.
• Bottom text is rendered from the bottom upward.
