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","# ASCII Art Skill\n\nMultiple tools for different ASCII art needs.

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":50,"license":14,"version":51,"metadata":52,"platforms":58,"description":7,"dependencies":59},"0xbyt4, Hermes Agent","4.0.0",{"hermes":53},{"tags":54,"related_skills":57},[55,28,36,56,44,34,35,40,32,39],"ASCII","Creative",[41],[33,38,37],[],"main","17ee50c38aefa9426a89d7e8ee167fdc4c184fb7","agent-skills\u002Fcreative\u002Fascii-art",0,"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fxuanxuan1983\u002Fhermes-skills-backup","https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fxuanxuan1983","2026-05-24 00:14:48",{"source":8,"skillName":5,"commands":68,"prompt":78,"zipAvailable":79},[69,72,75],{"tool":70,"command":71},"npx","npx skills add xuanxuan1983\u002Fhermes-skills-backup --skill ascii-art",{"tool":73,"command":74},"bunx","bunx skills add xuanxuan1983\u002Fhermes-skills-backup --skill ascii-art",{"tool":76,"command":77},"pnpm","pnpm dlx skills add xuanxuan1983\u002Fhermes-skills-backup --skill ascii-art","安装技能，技能地址：https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fxuanxuan1983\u002Fhermes-skills-backup\u002Fblob\u002Fmain\u002Fagent-skills\u002Fcreative\u002Fascii-art\u002FSKILL.md",true,[],[82,121,149,165,187,208],{"skillNo":83,"name":84,"nameZh":6,"description":85,"descriptionZh":6,"repositoryFullName":8,"ownerLogin":9,"ownerAvatarUrl":10,"ownerAccountNo":11,"ownerDisplayName":6,"repositoryNo":12,"starsCount":13,"licenseSpdxId":14,"licenseFileUrl":6,"sourceHtmlUrl":86,"categories":87,"keywords":100,"publishedAt":45},"01M71JFHVW1W4XE013TY9ZYN9P","writing-plans","Use when you have a spec or requirements for a multi-step task.
