Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

meme scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (__init__.py, __main__.py, cli.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 197 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

meme

Generate memes from the command line. The meme command wraps the free memegen.link API — no API key needed.

Prime directive. For any meme request, use this skill end-to-end and drive the meme CLI directly. Do not reimplement it (no hand-built URLs, no ad-hoc python/curl), do not guess template ids, and keep to one bare --print-url command. The Rules below are mandatory, not suggestions — follow them every time, including the very first.

Prerequisite

The meme command must be installed. Check with meme --list. If it's missing, install it:

uv tool install makememe
# or: pipx install makememe

Rules (always follow)

These apply everywhere the tool runs — interactive Claude Code and CI/CD:

  1. Always go through the meme CLI. Never hand-build a memegen.link URL, never write ad-hoc Python/scripts to construct or fetch one, and never reimplement the escaping. The CLI handles path-segment escaping, line order, errors, and output — reproducing it by hand gets these wrong.
  2. Discover template ids with meme --list (or --list --json). Don't guess ids from memory — guessed ids (buttons, twobuttons, …) 404. List first, then use a verified id.
  3. Parse output with --json, read it directly. When you need the path/URL in a script, use meme ... --json and read the JSON fields. Do not pipe it through python3 -c, sed, or awk to extract values — --json / --print-url already give you exactly what you need.
  4. In CI/CD, install and call the CLI (pip install makememe → meme ... --print-url). Don't curl the API or build URLs inline in a workflow step.
  5. Keep it smooth — one clean command, no files. Default to --print-url; do not download or save a file (-o, --open) unless the user explicitly asks for one. Run meme as a single bare command — never pipe it into grep/tail/awk or add redirects. A bare, consistent meme ... shape means one permission approval covers every call and nothing is written to disk; piping turns each call into a new command the user has to approve again.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
