feat(skill): meme-generation — real image generator with Pillow

[teknium1]

Summary

Overhauls the meme-generation skill from a prompt-only concept brainstormer into an actual meme image generator. Produces real .png files with classic meme-style text overlay.

Cherry-picked original concept from PR #1771 by @adanaleycio, then overhauled with image generation.

What's included

• Python script (generate_meme.py) using Pillow to overlay text on template images
• 10 classic templates: Drake, This is Fine, Expanding Brain, Distracted Boyfriend, Two Buttons, Change My Mind, Woman Yelling at Cat, One Does Not Simply, Gru's Plan, Batman Slapping Robin
• Auto-scaling font with pixel-accurate word wrapping (never breaks mid-word)
• White text with black outline — classic meme style
• Template image caching after first download from imgflip CDN
• No API keys required — templates are public, rendering is local via Pillow

Moved to optional-skills

This is a niche creative skill — moved from skills/creative/ to optional-skills/creative/. Users install via:

hermes skills install official/creative/meme-generation

Usage

python generate_meme.py drake /tmp/meme.png "Writing unit tests" "Shipping straight to prod"
python generate_meme.py this-is-fine /tmp/meme.png "SERVERS ARE ON FIRE" "This is fine"
python generate_meme.py expanding-brain /tmp/meme.png "Level 1" "Level 2" "Level 3" "Level 4"
python generate_meme.py --list  # show all templates

Test plan

• Full test suite passes (5744 passed)
• Visually verified Drake, This is Fine, Expanding Brain, and Change My Mind templates
• Text wrapping confirmed — no mid-word breaks
• Font auto-scaling works for long text in narrow fields

Thanks for pulling this in and building on top of it. This started from my earlier PR #1771, where I added the initial meme-generation skill to the creative category and then followed up with a second pass focused on reducing prompt cost while keeping output quality intact. In that update, I tightened template selection into a more rule-based flow, kept optional overrides truly optional, shortened caption guidance, and explicitly discouraged over explanation. Glad to see both of those commits carried over here before the Pillow/image-generation expansion. Curious to see how you want the lightweight template-aware behavior from #1771 to coexist with the richer image-generation path going forward
@123mikeyd and I have been discussing and working on this issue for a while now, and we're still continuing.
