## When to use this skill **CRITICAL TRIGGER RULE** - Use this skill ONLY when the user explicitly mentions the exact skill name: `ascii-progress-and-spinner`. **Trigger phrases include:** - "ascii-progress-and-spinner" - "use ascii-progress-and-spinner" - "用 ascii-progress-and-spinner 生成 ASCII 进度条" - "使用 ascii-progress-and-spinner 做 spinner / loading" ## Boundary - Do not integrate a specific UI framework; output styles + refresh rules + fallback protocol + examples. - Must cover: - determinate progress bars - indeterminate spinners - non-TTY / redirected-output fallback (log lines, no carriage-return updates) ## How to use this skill ### Inputs - mode (determinate | indeterminate) - width (default 40) - showPercent (default true) - showEta (optional) - multiTask (optional) - colorMode (none | ansi256, default none) ### Outputs (required) - progressBarStyles (>= 3) - spinnerStyles (>= 2) - renderRules (TTY single-line refresh vs logLines) - fallbackRules (non-interactive / redirected output) ### Recommended render rules - **TTY (interactive):** single-line refresh (overwrite previous line), avoid log spam - **Non-TTY (logs):** print log lines (no overwrite). Each line may include task name + percent. ### Inline Style Examples **Progress bar styles:** ``` Style 1 (block): [████████░░░░░░░░░░░░] 42% ETA 3s Style 2 (hash): [########............] 42% ETA 3s Style 3 (arrow): [========>-----------] 42% ETA 3s ``` **Spinner styles:** ``` Style 1 (braille): ⠋ Loading... → ⠙ Loading... → ⠹ Loading... Style 2 (pipe): | Loading... → / Loading... → - Loading... ``` **Non-TTY log fallback:** ``` [task-1] 25% complete [task-1] 50% complete [task-1] 75% complete [task-1] 100% complete - done (4.2s) ``` ### Workflow 1. Determine mode: `determinate` (known total) or `indeterminate` (spinner) 2. Select styles from the style gallery (>= 3 progress, >= 2 spinner) 3. Define render rules: TTY uses single-line refresh, non-TTY uses log lines 4. Define fallback rules for redirected output (no carriage returns) 5. **Validate**: Fixed-width percent field, no jitter, grep-friendly log mode ## Script - `scripts/demo.py`: local demo for progress bar + spinner shapes ## Examples - `examples/styles.md` ## Quality checklist 1. Fixed width (percent field is fixed-width to avoid jitter) 2. Log mode is grep-friendly (no overwrite) 3. ASCII-only defaults are available (avoid ambiguous-width Unicode) ## Keywords **English:** ascii-progress-and-spinner, progress bar, spinner, loading, tty, non-interactive, log output, ascii **中文:** ascii-progress-and-spinner, 进度条, Spinner, Loading, 终端, TTY, 日志降级, ASCII
