What This Skill Does
Generates ASCII art and text-based visualizations using characters, symbols, and whitespace. Covers geometric shapes, decorative text banners, flowcharts, and artistic representations of objects or concepts. Works entirely in plain text, requiring no image rendering.
Produces visual output that works in any text environment, from terminals to markdown files, without requiring image rendering or external tools.
When to use it
- Adding decorative headers to terminal scripts
- Drawing flowcharts inside README or documentation files
- Creating bordered text boxes for CLI output
- Visualizing process diagrams in code comments or chat
- Generating artistic representations when image output isn't available
