Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00020 | $0.03038 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.01519 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00608 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00304 |
Grade B, and why
ascii-art scanned grade B with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
### Usage (via terminal curl) This is a copy
100% identical to ascii-art — 9 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Usage
python3 -m pyfiglet "YOUR TEXT" -f slant
python3 -m pyfiglet "TEXT" -f doom -w 80 # Set width
python3 -m pyfiglet --list_fonts # List all 571 fonts
Recommended fonts
| Style | Font | Best for |

Tips
- Preview 2-3 fonts and let the user pick their favorite
- Short text (1-8 chars) works best with detailed fonts like
doomorblock - Long text works better with compact fonts like

Tool 2: Text Banners (asciified API — remote, no install)
Free REST API that converts text to ASCII art. 250+ FIGlet fonts. Returns plain text directly — no parsing needed. Use this when pyfiglet is not installed or as a quick alternative.
Usage (via terminal curl)
# Basic text banner (default font)
curl -s "https://asciified.thelicato.io/api/v2/ascii?text=Hello+World"
# With a specific font
curl -s "https://asciified.thelicato.io/api/v2/ascii?text=Hello&font=Slant"
curl -s "https://asciified.thelicato.io/api/v2/ascii?text=Hello&font=Doom"
curl -s "https://asciified.thelicato.io/api/v2/ascii?text=Hello&font=Star+Wars"
curl -s "https://asciified.thelicato.io/api/v2/ascii?text=Hello&font=3-D"
curl -s "https://asciified.thelicato.io/api/v2/ascii?text=Hello&font=Banner3"
# List all available fonts (returns JSON array)
curl -s "https://asciified.thelicato.io/api/v2/fonts"
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ascii-art is a skill published in the GitHub repository pedroiff0/awesome-skills (1 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT.
