meme-generation

A tool that creates actual meme PNG images by choosing a template and placing captions on it. It uses Pillow, a Python image-processing library, for the text overlay.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make memes about a topic, situation, frustration or other prompt from supported popular templates.
Why use it?
It removes the need to position and render meme text by hand.

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-generation scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/generate_meme.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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Meme Generation

Generate actual meme images from a topic. Picks a template, writes captions, and renders a real .png file with text overlay.

When to Use

  • User asks you to make or generate a meme
  • User wants a meme about a specific topic, situation, or frustration
  • User says "meme this" or similar

Available Templates

The script supports any of the ~100 popular imgflip templates by name or ID, plus 10 curated templates with hand-tuned text positioning.

Curated Templates (custom text placement)

ID Name Fields Best for
this-is-fine This is Fine top, bottom chaos, denial
drake Drake Hotline Bling reject, approve rejecting/preferring
distracted-boyfriend Distracted Boyfriend distraction, current, person temptation, shifting priorities
two-buttons Two Buttons left, right, person impossible choice
expanding-brain Expanding Brain 4 levels escalating irony
change-my-mind Change My Mind statement hot takes
woman-yelling-at-cat Woman Yelling at Cat woman, cat arguments
one-does-not-simply One Does Not Simply top, bottom deceptively hard things
grus-plan Gru's Plan step1-3, realization plans that backfire
batman-slapping-robin Batman Slapping Robin robin, batman shutting down bad ideas

Dynamic Templates (from imgflip API)

Any template not in the curated list can be used by name or imgflip ID. These get smart default text positioning (top/bottom for 2-field, evenly spaced for 3+). Search with:

python "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/generate_meme.py" --search "disaster"

Procedure

Mode 1: Classic Template (default)

  1. Read the user's topic and identify the core dynamic (chaos, dilemma, preference, irony, etc.)
  2. Pick the template that best matches. Use the "Best for" column, or search with --search.
  3. Write short captions for each field (8-12 words max per field, shorter is better).
  4. Find the skill's script directory:
    SKILL_DIR=$(dirname "$(find ~/.hermes/skills -path '*/meme-generation/SKILL.md' 2>/dev/null | head -1)")
    
  5. Run the generator:
    python "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/generate_meme.py" <template_id> /tmp/meme.png "caption 1" "caption 2" ...
    
  6. Return the image with MEDIA:/tmp/meme.png

Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
