Add an ANSI color layer to existing ASCII/plain-text output (gradient/rainbow/highlights) with alignment-safe rules and a required no-color fallback. Use when the user wants to colorize terminal output, add rainbow effects to CLI text, or style ASCII art with ANSI colors.

When to use this skill
CRITICAL TRIGGER RULE
- Use this skill ONLY when the user explicitly mentions the exact skill name:
ascii-ansi-colorizer.
Trigger phrases include:
- "ascii-ansi-colorizer"
- "use ascii-ansi-colorizer"
- "用 ascii-ansi-colorizer 给 ASCII 上色"
- "使用 ascii-ansi-colorizer 做 ANSI 渐变/彩虹"
Boundary
- This skill only adds color to existing text. It does not generate the ASCII art itself (pair with
ascii-cli-logo-bannerif needed). - Required outputs:
coloredText+plainTextFallback. - ANSI must not break alignment: do not colorize spaces by default; colorize visible characters only.
How to use this skill
Inputs
- textOrAscii (required)
- palette (rainbow | gradient | brandColors)
- direction (leftToRight | topToBottom, default leftToRight)
- colorDepth (ansi16 | ansi256 | truecolor, default ansi256)
- scope (logoOnly | highlightsOnly | fullText, default logoOnly)
Outputs (required)
- coloredText: ANSI-colored output
- plainTextFallback: no-color fallback (identical content, no ANSI)
- compatNotes: copy/paste and redirection guidance (NO_COLOR / --no-color suggestions)
Steps
- Pick
colorDepth(default: ansi256). - Choose a stable coloring strategy:
- Column-wise gradients (leftToRight) are usually the safest
- Colorize non-space characters only
- Output both
coloredTextandplainTextFallback. - Provide no-color guidance (semantic suggestions):
NO_COLOR/--no-color.
Output Format
Outputs should be structured as three distinct text blocks:
coloredText:
\033[38;5;33mH\033[38;5;34me\033[38;5;35ml\033[38;5;36ml\033[38;5;37mo\033[0m
plainTextFallback:
Hello
compatNotes:
- Respect NO_COLOR env var: if set, output plainTextFallback only
- Support --no-color flag for CLI tools
- Pipe/redirect: detect non-TTY and fall back to plain text
Workflow
- Receive text input and validate it is non-empty
- Select
colorDepth(default ansi256) andpalette - Apply coloring to visible characters only (skip spaces to preserve alignment)
- Generate both
coloredTextandplainTextFallback - Validate: Strip ANSI codes from
coloredTextand compare withplainTextFallback— they must match
Script
scripts/colorize.py: apply ANSI 256 gradient or rainbow to stdin
Examples
examples/gradient.md
Quality checklist
- Removing ANSI keeps the same readable content (
plainTextFallback). - Alignment does not change after coloring.
- Colors should not overpower the informational lines.
