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
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
| Situation | Start here | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| First-time use | | Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path before touching the copied workflow |
| Provenance review | | Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source |
| Workflow execution | | Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution |
| Supporting context | | Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package |
| Handoff decision | | Helps the operator switch to a stronger native skill when the task drifts |
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.
- Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
- Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
- Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.
- Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes.
- Validate the result against the upstream expectations and the evidence you can point to in the copied files.
- Escalate or hand off to a related skill when the work moves out of this imported workflow's center of gravity.
- 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. Load only the files that materially change the answer, 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
| Type | Example | Virality |
|---|---|---|
| Name only | "Enter your name" | High (low friction) |
| Birthday | "Enter your birth date" | High (personal) |
| Quiz answers | "Answer 5 questions" | Medium (more investment) |
| Photo upload | "Upload a selfie" | High (personalized) |
Result Types That Get Shared
- Identity results - "You are a..."
- Comparison results - "You're 87% like..."
- Prediction results - "In 2025 you will..."
- Score results - "Your score: 847/1000"
- 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
| Type | Engagement |
|---|---|
| Image choice | Highest |
| This or that | High |
| Slider scale | Medium |
| Multiple choice | Medium |
| Text input | Low |
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
| Type | Example | Algorithm |
|---|---|---|
| Deterministic | "Your Star Wars name" | Hash of input |
| Random + seed | "Your rapper name" | Seeded random |
| AI-powered | "Your brand name" | LLM generation |
| Combinatorial | "Your fantasy name" | Word parts |
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
| Topic | Why It Works |
|---|---|
| Salary/money | Everyone curious |
| Age/time | Personal stakes |
| Compatibility | Relationship drama |
| Worth/value | Ego involvement |
| Predictions | Future curiosity |
The Viral Calculator Formula
- Ask for interesting inputs

Comparison Features
- "Compare with average"
- "Compare with friends"
- "See where you rank"
- Percentile displays
