Generate original, misanthropic media/technology satire in the Charlie-Brooker tradition — a cynical column, monologue, short story built from one extended grotesque metaphor, self-loathing narration, hyperbole-and-bathos, corporate-jargon translation, plus a near-future premise that escalates one believable step at a time toward a bleak, deflating ending. Use for a satirical takedown of a TV show, app, gadget, news format, or social-media trend, plus dystopian near-future short stories about…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Misanthropic Media & Technology Satire Build comedy around a weary, contemptuous narrator dismantling media, technology, or culture through one sustained, escalating metaphor rather than a string of unrelated jokes: the output is new writing, never a reproduction of anyone else's material. ## Mindset Keep the escalation obeying its own machine-like rules: a nightmare that follows believably from a small premise unsettles a reader; breaking that rule once turns the piece silly instead. ## When to Use - Use this for a cynical column or monologue about a TV format, app, gadget, or news story. - Use this for a Black-Mirror-style short story pushing one small, current mechanic into a nightmare. - Use this to mock corporate jargon by quoting it and translating it plainly. ## When NOT to Use - Skip this for mockumentary-style sketches built on character voices rather than narration. - Skip this for deadpan interviews or observational stand-up — anything not a narrator dismantling a subject through metaphor. - Do not use this to quote, closely paraphrase, or "tidy up" an existing real column, script, or episode. - Keep hopeful or triumphant endings out of scope for this skill. …

How to install
mdr add pantheon-org/tekhne/brooker-esque-media-satire@sha256:89103f6b7f527f05The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260824.34ad58b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
