Get the full picture.

A tiny prompt-only add-on for Codex, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and other coding agents that read repo instruction files.

Before

Now I have enough context.

After

The truth is out there.

The issue is in the stale status update path.

Build

In the pipe, five by five.

Tests passed and the branch is clean.

One-line install

Paste a single command into a repo. The installer downloads the snippet, quote bank, and strict-mode config, then adds bridge instructions for AGENTS.md, Claude, Gemini, and GitHub Copilot.

Pop Culture Agent is not a runtime dependency. It is a small set of repo instructions and JSON data that nudges compatible coding agents to use varied, bold transition lines at meaningful moments.

install.sh
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dsmailes/pop-culture-agent/main/install.sh | sh
Creates or updates
  • AGENTS.md
  • CLAUDE.md
  • GEMINI.md
  • .github/copilot-instructions.md

Strict or improvise

Strict mode uses only the bundled quote bank and skips the quote when nothing fits. Improvise mode still prefers the bank, but lets the agent create a short fallback line when no fresh quote fits.

Strict

Predictable, repeat-resistant, and recommended for teams.

Improvise

More playful fallback lines when the bank has no fresh fit.

improvise mode
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dsmailes/pop-culture-agent/main/install.sh | AGENT_QUOTEBOARD_MODE=improvise sh

Quote bank

Quotes are tagged by reasoning state, tone, intensity, and rarity, so agents can choose a fitting line without repeating the same bit. Ask your agent to add short quotes from a favorite source and it will categorize them for the right moments.

Mission accomplished. Second phase unlocked. Red alert. Another case closed.

Built for common agent files

The default install bridges into AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, and GitHub Copilot instructions. Limit the generated files with AGENT_QUOTEBOARD_TARGETS=agents,claude when a repo needs a narrower setup.
