When to use this skill

CRITICAL TRIGGER RULE

  • Use this skill ONLY when the user explicitly mentions the exact skill name:
    ascii-cli-logo-banner
    .

Use this skill when the user says they want:

  • A startup banner / logo / welcome screen for a CLI or service

Trigger phrases include:

  • "ascii-cli-logo-banner"
  • "use ascii-cli-logo-banner"
  • "用 ascii-cli-logo-banner"
  • "使用 ascii-cli-logo-banner 生成启动 Banner"
  • "用 ascii-cli-logo-banner 做一个 ASCII Logo"

Boundary

  • This skill is a routing/selection entry point. It does not provide its own generator implementation.
  • For built-in (no external font engine): use
    ascii-cli-logo-banner-python
    .
  • For TAAG/FIGlet style (FIGfont spec, smushing layouts): use
    ascii-cli-logo-banner-figletjs
    .

How to use this skill

Inputs (recommended)

  • brandName (required)
  • version (optional)
  • author (optional)
  • repoUrl / docsUrl (optional)
  • width (default 80)
  • slogan (optional, centered line under the logo)
  • hint (optional, centered line under the slogan)
  • glyph (ascii | block, default ascii)
  • center (default true)
  • rule (default true; set false for logo-only hero output)
  • style (block | outline | thin, default block)
  • colorMode (none | ansi256, default none; logo only in scripts)
  • includeCta (default true)

Outputs (required)

  • bannerPlain: ASCII-only full banner (logo area + info block + horizontal rule)
  • compactPlain: compact banner for
    width < 60
    (single-line title + rule + 1-2 info lines)
  • plainTextFallback: no-color fallback when ANSI is enabled (same structure as bannerPlain)
  • embedNotes: 3-5 embedding notes (CLI start / service start / README / tickets)

Steps

  1. Decide width and fallback:
    • Default
      width=80
    • If
      width < 60
      , output
      compactPlain
      and skip the big-letter logo
  2. Generate an ASCII-only logo:
    • Avoid full-width characters and ambiguous-width Unicode
    • Ensure each line is
      <= width
  3. Compose the banner structure (recommended order):
    • Logo area (or a single-line title in compact mode)
    • Horizontal rule: exactly
      width
      characters (
      -
      or
      =
      )
    • Info block: Name / Version / Repo / Docs / Author (only include fields provided)
    • Optional CTA: e.g.
      Run: <command>
      or
      Docs: <url>
  4. Optional ANSI coloring (must not break alignment):
    • Colorize visible characters only; do not colorize spaces
    • Always provide
      plainTextFallback

Routing Decision

NeedSkill to useWhy
Simple built-in font, no npm/node deps
ascii-cli-logo-banner-python
Uses a built-in 5x5 font, Python only
TAAG/FIGlet fonts, layout smushing
ascii-cli-logo-banner-figletjs
Full FIGfont spec via figlet.js

Example: For a quick startup banner with

brandName="MyApp"
and no external font engine needed, route to
ascii-cli-logo-banner-python
. For a FIGlet "Standard" or "Big" font banner with horizontal smushing, route to
ascii-cli-logo-banner-figletjs
.

Script (optional)

  • Use
    ascii-cli-logo-banner-python
    for the Python implementation.
  • Use
    ascii-cli-logo-banner-figletjs
    for the figlet.js/FIGfont implementation.

Examples

  • See examples in the two implementation skills:
    • ascii-cli-logo-banner-python/examples/*
    • ascii-cli-logo-banner-figletjs/examples/*

Quality checklist

  1. Does not wrap or misalign at 80 columns; no trailing spaces
  2. Copy-pastes cleanly into logs/email/tickets
  3. Never prints secrets (tokens, internal URLs, personal data)
