A collection of tools for making pictures from text and for converting images into ASCII art, using letters and symbols. It includes local command-line tools and free web services, with no API keys required.

Creating project-name banners, logos, terminal decorations, box layouts, cowsay-style output, and ASCII versions of images.

It avoids drawing text banners or image previews by hand and offers different approaches for large lettering, boxes, character pictures, and image conversion.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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	$0.03041
Opus 5	$0.00010	$0.01520

Security

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.

ASCII Art Skill

Multiple tools for different ASCII art needs. All tools are local CLI programs or free REST APIs — no API keys required.

Tool 1: Text Banners (pyfiglet — local)

Render text as large ASCII art banners. 571 built-in fonts.

Setup

pip install pyfiglet --break-system-packages -q

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
Clean & modern	`slant`	Project names, headers
Bold & blocky	`doom`	Titles, logos
Big & readable	`big`	Banners
Classic banner	`banner3`	Wide displays
Compact	`small`	Subtitles
Cyberpunk	`cyberlarge`	Tech themes
3D effect	`3-d`	Splash screens
Gothic	`gothic`	Dramatic text

Tips

Preview 2-3 fonts and let the user pick their favorite
Short text (1-8 chars) works best with detailed fonts like doom or block
Long text works better with compact fonts like small or mini

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"

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.
