Velocity Yes

Caution

If it isn't evident, this is satire and should not be run. Think of this as an art piece. Update: publishing steps are now no-ops to reduce misuse

Satire Account

"Because we prioritize 'velocity' over everything else"

Autonomous pipeline that generates ideas from trending repos, and transforms those ideas into code with ruthless speed.

What It Does

  1. Scouts GitHub trending repos
  2. Generates new ideas (originality judged by LLM of course)
  3. Researches feasibility (headful Chrome automation)
  4. Implements using Pi coding agent
  5. Publishes to GitHub with README, LICENSE, CI
  6. Announces on Twitter

All with minimal human intervention.

Quick Start

# Install
npm install

# Configure
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your API keys

# Run (dry-run mode)
DRY_RUN=true npm run slopinator-9000

# Run for real
npm run slopinator-9000

Requirements

  • Node.js 20+
  • GitHub account + personal access token
  • Twitter API credentials (v2, with write access)
  • LLM API key (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.) — or GitHub Copilot OAuth via npx pi → /login
  • Chromium/Chrome (for Puppeteer research phase)

Configuration

All configuration is via environment variables. See .env.example:

Variable Required Description
GITHUB_TOKEN Yes GitHub personal access token
GITHUB_USERNAME Yes Your GitHub username
TWITTER_API_KEY For tweets Twitter API key
TWITTER_API_SECRET For tweets Twitter API secret
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN For tweets Twitter access token
TWITTER_ACCESS_SECRET For tweets Twitter access secret
PI_WORKSPACE For impl Workspace directory for generated projects
PI_MODEL No Model to use (default: claude-sonnet-4-20250514)
PI_PROVIDER No Model provider (default: anthropic)
DRY_RUN No Skip destructive operations
HEADLESS No Run browser headless
LOG_LEVEL No debug / info / warn / error

Architecture

Orchestrator
  ├─ TrendScout Oracle      – GitHub trending → repo list
  ├─ IdeaGenerator Oracle   – repos → derivative ideas
  ├─ ResearchMaster Oracle  – headful browser validation
  ├─ ImplementationMaster   – Pi agent coordination
  ├─ DeploymentSpecialist   – GitHub/NPM deployment
  └─ TwitterAnnouncer       – tweet composition & posting

6 specialized oracles coordinated by a main orchestrator. Each oracle has:

  • Clear interface & type definitions
  • Time budget enforcement
  • Structured logging
  • Error recovery

See AGENTS.md for the full architecture specification.

The Slop Disclaimer

This system prioritizes velocity:

  • ✅ Ships working code
  • 🤷 Not perfect
  • 🚀 Completes in <12 hours
  • 🔧 Iterates in production
