When to use this skill

CRITICAL TRIGGER RULE

• Use this skill ONLY when the user explicitly mentions the exact skill name: ascii-text-art-library.

Trigger phrases include:

• "ascii-text-art-library"
• "use ascii-text-art-library"
• "用 ascii-text-art-library 生成 ASCII 模板库"
• "使用 ascii-text-art-library 输出提示框/分隔线/标题样式"

Boundary

• Output templates + naming/selection rules only; do not modify repository files.
• ASCII-only by default to avoid ambiguous-width Unicode.
• Templates must be width-tunable (default 80 columns).

How to use this skill

Inputs

• width (default 80)
• language (zh | en, default zh)
• tone (serious | fun, default serious)
• categories (title/divider/info/warn/error/success/cta, default all)
• variantsPerCategory (default 2)

Outputs (required)

• templates: grouped by category (>= 2 variants per category)
• namingRules: e.g. TITLE_COMPACT_A, WARN_BOX_B
• usageRules: selection guidance + anti-spam thresholds

Inline Example Output

Running scripts/generate_templates.py --width 60:

--- TITLE_COMPACT_A ---
============================================================
  Section Title
============================================================

--- WARN_BOX_B ---
+----------------------------------------------------------+
| WARNING: Check disk space before proceeding              |
+----------------------------------------------------------+

--- DIVIDER_THIN_A ---
------------------------------------------------------------

Workflow

1. Generate: Run python3 scripts/generate_templates.py --width 80 --language en --tone serious
2. Review: Check generated templates grouped by category
3. Validate: Run python3 scripts/generate_templates.py --width 80 --validate — confirms all lines <= width, no trailing spaces, correct naming
4. Integrate: Copy chosen variants into project; reference by naming convention (e.g., TITLE_COMPACT_A)

Script Usage

# Generate all template categories at 80 columns
python3 scripts/generate_templates.py --width 80

# Generate only warning and error templates
python3 scripts/generate_templates.py --width 60 --categories warn,error

# Generate with fun tone
python3 scripts/generate_templates.py --width 80 --tone fun

Template Generation Logic (inline fallback)

When the script is unavailable, generate templates using these rules:

def title_compact(text, width=80, char='='):
    rule = char * width
    centered = text.center(width)
    return f"{rule}\n{centered}\n{rule}"

def warn_box(text, width=80):
    inner_w = width - 4  # account for "| " and " |"
    top = '+' + '-' * (width - 2) + '+'
    line = f'| {text:<{inner_w}} |'
    return f"{top}\n{line}\n{top}"

# Usage:
# title_compact("My Section Title", 60)
# warn_box("WARNING: Check disk space", 60)

Script

• scripts/generate_templates.py: generate a baseline template set for a given width (local preview)

Examples

• examples/templates-80.md

Quality checklist

1. Stable alignment at 80 columns; no trailing spaces
2. Templates are semantically clear and not over-decorated
3. Notice boxes support multi-line content and remain readable
