## 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 | Need | Skill to use | Why | |------|-------------|-----| | 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) ## Keywords **English:** ascii, banner, logo, cli, terminal, startup, welcome, plain text, ansi, no-color **中文:** ASCII, 启动横幅, 终端 Banner, CLI Logo, 欢迎页, 纯文本, ANSI 上色, 无色回退
