From the project READMEMeme Maker
Create meme drafts from a curated template registry without bundling copyrighted template images.
Quick start
- Search:
{baseDir}/scripts/meme.mjs search "bad choice" - Suggest:
{baseDir}/scripts/meme.mjs suggest "slow python image scripts" - Local SVG:
{baseDir}/scripts/meme.mjs render drake --text "Repeated downloads" --text "Cached templates" --out /tmp/meme.svg - Local PNG:
{baseDir}/scripts/meme.mjs render drake --text "Maybe API" --text "Local render" --out /tmp/meme.png - Imgflip hosted:
{baseDir}/scripts/meme.mjs render drake --service imgflip --text "before" --text "after"
Modes
localis default. It downloads template images from their source URL with a browser-like user agent, caches them under the user cache dir, embeds the image in an SVG, and writes SVG. If--outends in.png, it renders through an isolated headless browser using OpenClaw's Playwright support. PNG output requires Playwright's Chromium or an installed Google Chrome; SVG output needs no browser.imgflipcalls Imgflipcaption_imageand prints the hosted URL. It requiresIMGFLIP_USERandIMGFLIP_PASSunless supplied via--usernameand--password.
Commands
list [--json]: list the built-in curated templates.search <query> [--json]: search template names, aliases, tags, and use cases.suggest <topic> [--limit N] [--json]: rank templates for the topic.render <template> --text TEXT ... [--out PATH] [--service local|imgflip]: generate a meme.refresh [--limit N] [--json]: fetch current Imgflip top templates for research; do not overwrite the curated registry automatically.
Template registry
- Read
{baseDir}/references/templates.jsonfor the curated 20-template registry. - Each entry includes Imgflip metadata, Know Your Meme link, aliases, tags, fields, and local text placement boxes.
- Prefer
suggestfirst when the user describes a joke but does not know the format.
Hygiene
- Do not ship template image files in the skill.
- Do not use shared or hardcoded Imgflip credentials.
- Keep Know Your Meme lookups out of the render hot path; use KYM links for explanation/provenance only.
- If PNG output fails because the browser is unavailable, use
--out meme.svg(or another.svgpath). Do notnpm installpackages into the skill directory or the OpenClaw tree to enable PNG.
