meme-image

Identify the comedic beat in the passage, choose editorial mode for one meme or exploration mode for a five-candidate batch, then compose short text per slot and build the memegen.link URL. Verify the rendered image before embedding it with descriptive alt text.

Use exploration mode, which draws sampled slots with a real system RNG from the live Memegen template catalog rather than model intuition. Sampled templates must be genuinely attempted, and rejections require a concrete reason plus a replacement draw.

In memegen.link path segments, spaces become underscores or dashes, literal underscores become double underscores, newlines become ~n, question marks ~q, apostrophes ~s, and percent signs ~p. Prefer short plain text since dense punctuation degrades layout.

Yes, the Skill supports custom backgrounds and overlays, self-hosted rendering on project-owned assets, and original generated visuals when stock template grammar does not fit the joke. Self-hosting is recommended for durability-sensitive publishing instead of hotlinking the third-party API.

Skip image memes for legal, medical, grief, or otherwise serious material where a meme would trivialize the subject, and when prose already carries the joke. Also avoid them when a diagram or photograph serves the purpose better or the post already has enough visual weight.

Suggested density is 0-1 memes under 800 words, 1-2 for 800-1500 words, 2-3 for 1500-2500 words, and a cap around 3-4 beyond that. Avoid placing two image memes back-to-back and let other rest types like headings or pull quotes share the rhythm.
