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
# Generate 3 paragraphs (default)
uv run scripts/generate.pyGenerate 5 paragraphs with 4 sentences each
uv run scripts/generate.py --paragraphs 5 --sentences 4
Generate approximately 500 words
uv run scripts/generate.py --words 500
Generate exactly 1000 characters
uv run scripts/generate.py --characters 1000
Generate approximately 200 LLM tokens (~800 characters)
uv run scripts/generate.py --tokens 200
Continuous text without paragraph breaks
uv run scripts/generate.py --paragraphs 4 --continuous
### Structured Content
3 sections with headings and 2 paragraphs each
uv 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 bullets
uv 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

## Workflow
- Interpret the user's request for length and structure

- If the user wants the output saved, use `--output` or redirect/pipe as needed
- If the user wants it in clipboard, pipe to `pbcopy`
- Display the result or confirm the file was written
