Great for terminal eye candy.\n\n### Setup\n\n```bash\nsudo apt install toilet toilet-fonts -y    # Debian\u002FUbuntu\n# brew install toilet                      # macOS\n```\n\n### Usage\n\n```bash\ntoilet \"Hello World\"                    # Basic text art\ntoilet -f bigmono12 \"Hello\"            # Specific font\ntoilet --gay \"Rainbow!\"                 # Rainbow coloring\ntoilet --metal \"Metal!\"                 # Metallic effect\ntoilet -F border \"Bordered\"             # Add border\ntoilet -F border --gay \"Fancy!\"         # Combined effects\ntoilet -f pagga \"Block\"                 # Block-style font (unique to toilet)\ntoilet -F list                          # List available filters\n```\n\n### Filters\n\n`crop`, `gay` (rainbow), `metal`, `flip`, `flop`, `180`, `left`, `right`, `border`\n\n**Note**: toilet outputs ANSI escape codes for colors — works in terminals but may not render in all contexts (e.g., plain text files, some chat platforms).\n\n## Tool 6: Image to ASCII Art\n\nConvert images (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WEBP) to ASCII art.\n\n### Option A: ascii-image-converter (recommended, modern)\n\n```bash\n# Install\nsudo snap install ascii-image-converter\n# OR: go install github.com\u002FTheZoraiz\u002Fascii-image-converter@latest\n```\n\n```bash\nascii-image-converter image.png                  # Basic\nascii-image-converter image.png -C               # Color output\nascii-image-converter image.png -d 60,30         # Set dimensions\nascii-image-converter image.png -b               # Braille characters\nascii-image-converter image.png -n               # Negative\u002Finverted\nascii-image-converter https:\u002F\u002Furl\u002Fimage.jpg      # Direct URL\nascii-image-converter image.png --save-txt out   # Save as text\n```\n\n### Option B: jp2a (lightweight, JPEG only)\n\n```bash\nsudo apt install jp2a -y\njp2a --width=80 image.jpg\njp2a --colors image.jpg              # Colorized\n```\n\n## Tool 7: Search Pre-Made ASCII Art\n\nSearch curated ASCII art from the web. Use `terminal` with `curl`.\n\n### Source A: ascii.co.uk (recommended for pre-made art)\n\nLarge collection of classic ASCII art organized by subject. Art is inside HTML `\u003Cpre>` tags. Fetch the page with curl, then extract art with a small Python snippet.\n\n**URL pattern:** `https:\u002F\u002Fascii.co.uk\u002Fart\u002F{subject}`\n\n**Step 1 — Fetch the page:**\n\n```bash\ncurl -s 'https:\u002F\u002Fascii.co.uk\u002Fart\u002Fcat' -o \u002Ftmp\u002Fascii_art.html\n```\n\n**Step 2 — Extract art from pre tags:**\n\n```python\nimport re, html\nwith open('\u002Ftmp\u002Fascii_art.html') as f:\n    text = f.read()\narts = re.findall(r'\u003Cpre[^>]*>(.*?)\u003C\u002Fpre>', text, re.DOTALL)\nfor art in arts:\n    clean = re.sub(r'\u003C[^>]+>', '', art)\n    clean = html.unescape(clean).strip()\n    if len(clean) > 30:\n        print(clean)\n        print('\\n---\\n')\n```\n\n**Available subjects** (use as URL path):\n- Animals: `cat`, `dog`, `horse`, `bird`, `fish`, `dragon`, `snake`, `rabbit`, `elephant`, `dolphin`, `butterfly`, `owl`, `wolf`, `bear`, `penguin`, `turtle`\n- Objects: `car`, `ship`, `airplane`, `rocket`, `guitar`, `computer`, `coffee`, `beer`, `cake`, `house`, `castle`, `sword`, `crown`, `key`\n- Nature: `tree`, `flower`, `sun`, `moon`, `star`, `mountain`, `ocean`, `rainbow`\n- Characters: `skull`, `robot`, `angel`, `wizard`, `pirate`, `ninja`, `alien`\n- Holidays: `christmas`, `halloween`, `valentine`\n\n**Tips:**\n- Preserve artist signatures\u002Finitials — important etiquette\n- Multiple art pieces per page — pick the best one for the user\n- Works reliably via curl, no JavaScript needed\n\n### Source B: GitHub Octocat API (fun easter egg)\n\nReturns a random GitHub Octocat with a wise quote. No auth needed.\n\n```bash\ncurl -s https:\u002F\u002Fapi.github.com\u002Foctocat\n```\n\n## Tool 8: Fun ASCII Utilities (via curl)\n\nThese free services return ASCII art directly — great for fun extras.\n\n### QR Codes as ASCII Art\n\n```bash\ncurl -s \"qrenco.de\u002FHello+World\"\ncurl -s \"qrenco.de\u002Fhttps:\u002F\u002Fexample.com\"\n```\n\n### Weather as ASCII Art\n\n```bash\ncurl -s \"wttr.in\u002FLondon\"          # Full weather report with ASCII graphics\ncurl -s \"wttr.in\u002FMoon\"            # Moon phase in ASCII art\ncurl -s \"v2.wttr.in\u002FLondon\"       # Detailed version\n```\n\n## Tool 9: LLM-Generated Custom Art (Fallback)\n\nWhen tools above don't have what's needed, generate ASCII art directly using these Unicode characters:\n\n### Character Palette\n\n**Box Drawing:** `╔ ╗ ╚ ╝ ║ ═ ╠ ╣ ╦ ╩ ╬ ┌ ┐ └ ┘ │ ─ ├ ┤ ┬ ┴ ┼ ╭ ╮ ╰ ╯`\n\n**Block Elements:** `░ ▒ ▓ █ ▄ ▀ ▌ ▐ ▖ ▗ ▘ ▝ ▚ ▞`\n\n**Geometric & Symbols:** `◆ ◇ ◈ ● ○ ◉ ■ □ ▲ △ ▼ ▽ ★ ☆ ✦ ✧ ◀ ▶ ◁ ▷ ⬡ ⬢ ⌂`\n\n### Rules\n\n- Max width: 60 characters per line (terminal-safe)\n- Max height: 15 lines for banners, 25 for scenes\n- Monospace only: output must render correctly in fixed-width fonts\n\n## Decision Flow\n\n1. **Text as a banner** → pyfiglet if installed, otherwise asciified API via curl\n2. **Wrap a message in fun character art** → cowsay\n3. **Add decorative border\u002Fframe** → boxes (can combine with pyfiglet\u002Fasciified)\n4. **Art of a specific thing** (cat, rocket, dragon) → ascii.co.uk via curl + parsing\n5. **Convert an image to ASCII** → ascii-image-converter or jp2a\n6. **QR code** → qrenco.de via curl\n7. **Weather\u002Fmoon art** → wttr.in via curl\n8. **Something custom\u002Fcreative** → LLM generation with Unicode palette\n9. **Any tool not installed** → install it, or fall back to next option\n",{"name":5,"author":42,"license":15,"version":43,"metadata":44,"platforms":58,"description":7,"dependencies":59},"0xbyt4, Hermes Agent","4.0.0",{"hermes":45},{"tags":46,"related_skills":57},[47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56],"ASCII","Art","Banners","Creative","Unicode","Text-Art","pyfiglet","figlet","cowsay","boxes",[32],[30,29,31],[],"main","64e2fc9afa7bb3da1138eb73399144d0e7e73e9d","_hermes\u002Fdefault\u002Fprofiles\u002Fnerd\u002Fskills\u002Fcreative\u002Fascii-art",4,"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fadnichols\u002Fai-configs","https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fadnichols","2026-11-06 00:28:38",{"source":8,"skillName":5,"commands":68,"prompt":78,"zipAvailable":79},[69,72,75],{"tool":70,"command":71},"npx","npx skills add adnichols\u002Fai-configs --skill ascii-art",{"tool":73,"command":74},"bunx","bunx skills add adnichols\u002Fai-configs --skill ascii-art",{"tool":76,"command":77},"pnpm","pnpm dlx skills add adnichols\u002Fai-configs --skill ascii-art","安装技能，技能地址：https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fadnichols\u002Fai-configs\u002Fblob\u002Fmain\u002F_hermes\u002Fdefault\u002Fprofiles\u002Fnerd\u002Fskills\u002Fcreative\u002Fascii-art\u002FSKILL.md",true,[],[82,99,131,156,167,183],{"skillNo":83,"name":84,"nameZh":6,"description":85,"descriptionZh":6,"repositoryFullName":8,"ownerLogin":9,"ownerAvatarUrl":10,"ownerAccountNo":11,"ownerDisplayName":12,"repositoryNo":13,"starsCount":14,"licenseSpdxId":15,"licenseFileUrl":6,"sourceHtmlUrl":86,"categories":87,"keywords":88,"publishedAt":37},"01M6CB7RN791P5RRRCJWWC7DAR","blocked-page-recovery","Use when a fetch fails: 403\u002F429, paywall, WAF, bot wall.","https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fadnichols\u002Fai-configs\u002Fblob\u002Fmain\u002F_hermes\u002Fdefault\u002Fskills\u002Fweb\u002Fblocked-page-recovery\u002FSKILL.md",[],[89,90,91,92,93,94,95,35,34,96,97,31,98,30,29],"recovery","page","blocked page recovery","bot","fallback","use","fetch","Citations","waf","research",{"skillNo":100,"name":101,"nameZh":6,"description":102,"descriptionZh":6,"repositoryFullName":8,"ownerLogin":9,"ownerAvatarUrl":10,"ownerAccountNo":11,"ownerDisplayName":12,"repositoryNo":13,"starsCount":14,"licenseSpdxId":15,"licenseFileUrl":6,"sourceHtmlUrl":103,"categories":104,"keywords":116,"publishedAt":37},"01M6CB7NQY2VVYCQJ1QBXACQF4","writing-plans","Use when creating or updating executable software plans.
