shitpost-reactor "mondays" --json

| Flag | | Description | Default | |------|---|-------------|---------| | -p | --platform | x | linkedin | reddit | x | | -c | --chaos | chaos dial, 1–5 | 2 | | -n | --count | posts to make / thread length | 3 | | -t | --thread | one escalating X thread instead | off | | | --worse | second pass to escalate each post | off | | | --json | raw JSON output | off |

Platforms map to distinct voices: x (lowercase absurdist), linkedin (broetry thought-leader parody), reddit (overconfident reply-guy).

Chaos runs from 1 (mildly cursed) to 5 (banned in 3 countries).

How the flow works

Real agent passes, not a single prompt:

1. generate — brainstorms comedic angles first, then writes posts from them. Angles are surfaced so you can see the reasoning.
2. thread — writes one coherent X chain that escalates from grounded to unhinged across the posts.
3. --worse — an optional second pass that takes each post and deep-fries it further.

Use it as a library

import { generate, generateThread, makeWorse } from "shitpost-reactor";

const { angles, posts } = await generate({ topic: "mondays", platform: "x", chaos: 3 });
const thread = await generateThread({ topic: "rent", length: 5 });
const worse = await makeWorse({ post: posts[0] });

Fully typed. You can inject a preconfigured client via { client } (custom baseURL, testing).

Develop

npm install
npm run build     # src/ -> dist/ with .d.ts
npm test          # mocked SDK, no key or network needed

Release

Tagging a version publishes automatically via GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/publish.yml), with npm provenance. Set an NPM_TOKEN repo secret first, then:

npm version patch    # bumps version + creates a git tag
git push --follow-tags

Guardrails

The humor is absurdist, self-deprecating, and observational. The generator avoids targeting real named people, slurs, protected-group jokes, and genuinely hateful content. The joke is the bit, not a person.
