Mycopunk Swag - AI Assistant Context

Project Overview

This repository manages mycopunk merchandise (stickers, shirts, patches) with automated print-on-demand fulfillment. The workflow is CLI-driven, using open-source tools (Inkscape, GIMP, ImageMagick) for design work and API integrations with Printful and Prodigi for fulfillment.

Key Concepts

Design Structure

Each design lives in its own directory under designs/{category}/{slug}/:

  • {slug}.svg - Source vector file
  • metadata.yaml - Product configuration and metadata
  • exports/ - Generated output files (don't edit manually)

POD Providers

  • Printful - Primary for apparel (t-shirts, hoodies)
  • Prodigi - Primary for stickers and art prints

CLI Tool

Located in cli/, installed with pip install -e . Main entry point: mycopunk command

File Locations

What Where
Design sources designs/{stickers,shirts,misc}/
Product templates templates/{printful,prodigi}/
CLI source cli/mycopunk/
Configuration config/
API credentials config/.env (gitignored)

Common Tasks

Creating a New Design

mycopunk design new stickers/design-name --template=sticker-3x3
# Then edit designs/stickers/design-name/design-name.svg in Inkscape

Exporting Designs

# Export single design
mycopunk design export stickers/design-name

# Batch export all stickers
mycopunk batch export --type=sticker

POD Operations

# Always test in sandbox first
mycopunk product create stickers/design-name --provider=prodigi --sandbox

# Push to production
mycopunk product push stickers/design-name --provider=prodigi

Development Workflow

  1. Work on dev branch for new features
  2. Test CLI changes with pip install -e .
  3. Run mycopunk design validate before committing
  4. Push to Gitea, auto-mirrors to GitHub
  5. Merge to main when verified working

Important Notes

  • Always validate designs before pushing to POD services
  • Use --sandbox flag when testing POD integrations
  • Exports are gitignored - regenerate with mycopunk design export
  • Mockups require POD API access (not available offline)
