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 C, and why

meme-generator scanned grade C with 2 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 9d ago.

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 — 238 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

Generate classic memes using the Memegen.link API — a free, open-source, stateless meme generator. No API key, no auth, no rate limits. Just URLs.

The API has 170+ templates covering all the classics: Drake, Distracted Boyfriend, This is Fine, Change My Mind, Always Has Been, etc.

How It Works

The API is entirely URL-based. Every meme is a deterministic URL:

https://api.memegen.link/images/{template_id}/{top_text}/{bottom_text}.{format}

No POST requests needed for basic generation — just construct the URL and fetch it.

Tools

All operations use bash with curl and python3.

Search Templates

Find a template by keyword:

curl -s "https://api.memegen.link/templates" | python3 - "SEARCH_TERM" <<'PYEOF'
import json, sys
templates = json.load(sys.stdin)
query = sys.argv[1].lower()
matches = [t for t in templates if query in t['name'].lower() or query in t['id'].lower() or any(query in k.lower() for k in t.get('keywords', []))]
for t in matches[:15]:
    print(f"{t['id']:25s} | {t['name']:45s} | {t['lines']} lines | Keywords: {', '.join(t.get('keywords', []))}")
print(f'\n{len(matches)} matches')

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.
