AI-generated overview

Generates lorem ipsum placeholder text in paragraphs, headings, lists, or mixed documents, in text, markdown, or HTML.

What it does
This skill produces lorem ipsum filler text by running a bundled Python script with options for paragraph count, sentences per paragraph, word, character, or token targets. It can add headings, bullet or numbered lists, subheadings, and mixed document structures, and can output plain text, markdown, or HTML. Results go to standard output, a file, or a clipboard pipe.
When to use it
Use it when a user asks for lorem ipsum, dummy text, placeholder copy, or filler content for a layout, mockup, or template. It also fits requests specifying a length, structure, or output format for such text.
Requirements
Requires a Python runtime and the uv command to run the bundled scripts/generate.py script. Clipboard piping depends on a platform tool such as pbcopy; no credentials or network access are needed.

Lorem Ipsum Generator

Overview

Generate lorem ipsum placeholder text using the bundled generator script. Always use the script to generate content rather than writing lorem ipsum directly.

Critical requirement: ALL text in the generated output must be lorem ipsum, including headings, bullet points, list items, table cells, and any other textual elements.

Generator Script

Use scripts/generate.py to produce lorem ipsum content. The script handles all text generation to ensure consistent, authentic lorem ipsum output.

Basic Usage

bash
# Generate 3 paragraphs (default)uv run scripts/generate.py
# Generate 5 paragraphs with 4 sentences eachuv run scripts/generate.py --paragraphs 5 --sentences 4
# Generate approximately 500 wordsuv run scripts/generate.py --words 500
# Generate exactly 1000 charactersuv run scripts/generate.py --characters 1000
# Generate approximately 200 LLM tokens (~800 characters)uv run scripts/generate.py --tokens 200
# Continuous text without paragraph breaksuv run scripts/generate.py --paragraphs 4 --continuous

Structured Content

bash
# 3 sections with headings and 2 paragraphs eachuv run scripts/generate.py --headings 3 --paragraphs 6
# 4 sections with bullet points (5 bullets each)uv run scripts/generate.py --headings 4 --bullets 5
# Numbered lists instead of bulletsuv run scripts/generate.py --headings 3 --bullets 6 --numbered
# Realistic mixed document with 5 sections (varied content types)uv run scripts/generate.py --mixed 5

The --mixed option generates realistic documents with varied structure per section:

  • Some sections have paragraphs only
  • Some have bullet or numbered lists
  • Some have subheadings (h3) with nested content
  • Some combine paragraphs with lists

Output Options

bash
# Write to fileuv run scripts/generate.py --paragraphs 3 --output ~/Desktop/placeholder.txt
# HTML formatuv run scripts/generate.py --headings 2 --format html --output page.html
# Plain text (no markdown formatting)uv run scripts/generate.py --format text
# Copy to clipboarduv run scripts/generate.py --words 200 | pbcopy

All Options

OptionDescription
--paragraphs NNumber of paragraphs (default: 3)
--sentences NSentences per paragraph (default: 5)
--words NApproximate total word count
--characters NExact character count (truncates to match)
--tokens NEstimated LLM token count (~4 chars/token)
--continuousOutput without paragraph breaks
--headings NNumber of sections with headings
--bullets NBullet points per section
--numberedUse numbered lists instead of bullets
--mixed NRealistic document with N sections, varied content types
--output FILEWrite to file instead of stdout
--format FORMATOutput format: text, markdown, html (default: markdown)

Workflow

  1. Interpret the user's request for length and structure
  2. Run scripts/generate.py with appropriate options
  3. If the user wants the output saved, use --output or redirect/pipe as needed
  4. If the user wants it in clipboard, pipe to pbcopy
  5. Display the result or confirm the file was written

Examples

"Generate 3 paragraphs of lorem ipsum"

uv run scripts/generate.py --paragraphs 3

"Create lorem ipsum with 3 headings and 2 paragraphs under each"

"Give me a document with bullet points"

bash
uv run scripts/generate.py --headings 3 --bullets 5

"500 words of continuous lorem ipsum saved to ~/Desktop/placeholder.txt"

bash
uv run scripts/generate.py --words 500 --continuous --output ~/Desktop/placeholder.txt

"Lorem ipsum with numbered lists in HTML format"

bash
uv run scripts/generate.py --headings 4 --bullets 5 --numbered --format html

"Exactly 500 characters of lorem ipsum"

bash
uv run scripts/generate.py --characters 500

"About 100 tokens worth of lorem ipsum with headings"

bash
uv run scripts/generate.py --tokens 100 --headings 2

"A realistic document with mixed content"

bash
uv run scripts/generate.py --mixed 5
