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 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
bash# 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
bash# Write to file uv run scripts/generate.py --paragraphs 3 --output ~/Desktop/placeholder.txt # HTML format uv 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 clipboard uv run scripts/generate.py --words 200 | pbcopy

Workflow
- Interpret the user's request for length and structure
- Run
scripts/generate.pywith appropriate options - If the user wants the output saved, use
--outputor redirect/pipe as needed - If the user wants it in clipboard, pipe to
pbcopy - Display the result or confirm the file was written
Examples

bashuv run scripts/generate.py --headings 3 --bullets 5
"500 words of continuous lorem ipsum saved to ~/Desktop/placeholder.txt"
bashuv run scripts/generate.py --words 500 --continuous --output ~/Desktop/placeholder.txt
"Lorem ipsum with numbered lists in HTML format"
bashuv run scripts/generate.py --headings 4 --bullets 5 --numbered --format html
"Exactly 500 characters of lorem ipsum"
bashuv run scripts/generate.py --characters 500
"About 100 tokens worth of lorem ipsum with headings"
