One-line install

Paste a single command into any repo that uses AGENTS.md. The installer asks for optional favorite sources, downloads the prompt files, then adds bridge instructions.

Pop Culture Agent is not a runtime dependency. It is a small set of repo instructions and preferences 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

Pick three favorites

During install, name up to three films, games, shows, or franchises. The agent uses those as source preferences when a reference fits.

No quote bank

The agent chooses short references from model knowledge instead of a fixed list.

No runtime

Just prompt files, a generated preferences file, and AGENTS.md includes.

favorite sources
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dsmailes/pop-culture-agent/main/install.sh | POP_CULTURE_AGENT_FAVORITES="Scream, Metal Gear Solid, Alien" sh

Session-style examples

References stay short, bold, and attached to useful technical updates. If no familiar line fits, the agent skips the bit.

Wake up, Samurai. It was Agatha all along. Never tell me the odds. See you, space cowboy.

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 POP_CULTURE_AGENT_TARGETS=agents,claude when a repo needs a narrower setup.
