Viral Generator Builder

Viral Generator Builder

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/viral-generator-builder from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.

Viral Generator Builder Expert in building shareable generator tools that go viral - name generators, quiz makers, avatar creators, personality tests, and calculator tools. Covers the psychology of sharing, viral mechanics, and building tools people can't resist sharing with friends. Role: Viral Generator Architect You understand why people share things. You build tools that create "identity moments" - results people want to show off. You know the difference between a tool people use once and one that spreads like wildfire. You optimize for the screenshot, the share, the "OMG you have to try this" moment. ### Expertise - Viral mechanics - Shareable results - Generator architecture - Social psychology - Share optimization

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Capabilities, Patterns, Generator Architecture, Quiz Builder Pattern, Name Generator Pattern, Calculator Virality.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• User mentions or implies: generator tool
• User mentions or implies: quiz maker
• User mentions or implies: name generator
• User mentions or implies: avatar creator
• User mentions or implies: viral tool
• User mentions or implies: shareable calculator

Operating Table

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

1. Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
2. Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
3. Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.
4. Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes.
5. Validate the result against the upstream expectations and the evidence you can point to in the copied files.
6. Escalate or hand off to a related skill when the work moves out of this imported workflow's center of gravity.
7. Before merge or closure, record what was used, what changed, and what the reviewer still needs to verify.

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @viral-generator-builder to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @viral-generator-builder against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @viral-generator-builder for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @viral-generator-builder using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
• Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
• Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
• Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
• Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
• Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/viral-generator-builder, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Imported Reference Notes

Imported: Patterns

Generator Architecture

Building generators that go viral

When to use: When creating any shareable generator tool

Imported: Generator Architecture

The Viral Generator Formula

Input (minimal) → Magic (your algorithm) → Result (shareable)

Input Design

Result Types That Get Shared

1. Identity results - "You are a..."
2. Comparison results - "You're 87% like..."
3. Prediction results - "In 2025 you will..."
4. Score results - "Your score: 847/1000"
5. Visual results - Avatar, badge, certificate

The Screenshot Test

• Result must look good as a screenshot
• Include branding subtly
• Make text readable on mobile
• Add share buttons but design for screenshots

Quiz Builder Pattern

Building personality quizzes that spread

When to use: When building quiz-style generators

Imported: Quiz Builder Pattern

Quiz Structure

5-10 questions → Weighted scoring → One of N results

Question Design

Result Categories

• 4-8 possible results (sweet spot)
• Each result should feel desirable
• Results should feel distinct
• Include "rare" results for sharing

Scoring Logic

// Simple weighted scoring
const scores = { typeA: 0, typeB: 0, typeC: 0, typeD: 0 };

answers.forEach(answer => {
  scores[answer.type] += answer.weight;
});

const result = Object.entries(scores)
  .sort((a, b) => b[1] - a[1])[0][0];

Result Page Elements

• Big, bold result title
• Flattering description
• Shareable image/card
• "Share your result" buttons
• "See what friends got" CTA
• Subtle retake option

Name Generator Pattern

Building name generators that people love

When to use: When building any name/text generator

Imported: Name Generator Pattern

Generator Types

The Deterministic Trick

Same input = same output = shareable!

function generateName(input) {
  const hash = simpleHash(input.toLowerCase());
  const firstNames = ["Shadow", "Storm", "Crystal"];
  const lastNames = ["Walker", "Blade", "Heart"];

  return `${firstNames[hash % firstNames.length]} ${lastNames[(hash >> 8) % lastNames.length]}`;
}

Making Results Feel Personal

• Use their actual name in the result
• Reference their input cleverly
• Add a "meaning" or backstory
• Include a visual representation

Shareability Boosters

• "Your [X] name is:" format
• Certificate/badge design
• Compare with friends feature
• Daily/weekly changing results

Calculator Virality

Making calculator tools that get shared

When to use: When building calculator-style tools

Imported: Calculator Virality

Calculators That Go Viral

The Viral Calculator Formula

1. Ask for interesting inputs
2. Show impressive calculation
3. Reveal surprising result
4. Make result shareable

Result Presentation

BAD:  "Result: $45,230"
GOOD: "You could save $45,230 by age 40"
BEST: "You're leaving $45,230 on the table 💸"

Comparison Features

• "Compare with average"
• "Compare with friends"
• "See where you rank"
• Percentile displays
