name: smart-meme-generator description: AI-powered meme generator that creates perfect, context-aware memes from any topic or situation. Use when user wants to create memes, needs reaction images, wants to make jokes visual, or needs viral social media content. Automatically selects optimal meme templates and generates witty captions based on context.

Smart Meme Generator 🎭

Generate actual meme images from any topic. Uses imgflip API (free) for real image generation — returns shareable URLs.

How It Works

Two-step process:

1. Template selection — analyzes topic keywords to pick the best meme format
2. Image generation — creates the actual meme image with your captions via imgflip API

The agent (you) provides the creative captions. The script handles template matching and image creation.

Commands

Select best template for a topic

python3 scripts/generate_meme.py "your topic here"

Returns recommended template and box count.

Generate actual meme image

python3 scripts/generate_meme.py --template drake --captions "Bad option" "Good option"

Returns a real image URL (e.g., https://i.imgflip.com/xxxxx.jpg).

List all templates

python3 scripts/generate_meme.py --list

JSON output (for automation)

python3 scripts/generate_meme.py --template drake --captions "text1" "text2" --json

Workflow for Agent

When user asks for a meme:

1. Run template selection with their topic to get the best format
2. Write witty, specific captions that fit the template (be creative, match internet humor)
3. Generate the image with --captions
4. Send the image URL to the user

Caption tips:

• Keep text SHORT — memes aren't essays
• Use internet humor conventions (lowercase, no periods, specific > generic)
• Match the template's energy (drake = preference, pikachu = obvious outcome, etc.)
• Be specific to the topic — generic captions are never funny
