A response-formatting skill that turns information into compact ASCII or box-drawing diagrams with status icons. It chooses layouts such as tables, flow diagrams, meters, and trees based on the subject.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to show budgets, rankings, progress, pipelines, handoffs, or other structured information inline in a terminal or chat response.
Why use it?

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

ork-glyph scanned grade A with 0 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 26d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Ork Glyph

Render immediately from the user's topic. With no topic, use the current conversation. Choose the form yourself without setup questions, task creation, or subagents. The inline rendering itself needs no external tools.

Encode information in structure. State the verdict in one prose line, then draw one render in a monospace code block. Follow it with two or three short observations when the diagram reveals something worth explaining.

Choose the form

Data shape Render
Inventory, audit, budget Header meter, sections, rows, totals, caveats
Status, progress, health Status box and bar meters
Options, trade-offs Comparison table
Steps, pipeline, handoffs Flow with arrows
Containment, layers Nested boxes or tree
Ranking, scores, counts Table and bars
Change over time Sparkline or milestone track

Rendering contract

  • One render per reply, at most about 50 lines. In a terminal, keep each line within 76 display cells. In chat, web transcripts, and other non-TTY surfaces, use at most 72 cells and one narrow table or a vertical list, never side-by-side boards. Default to the non-TTY layout when the surface is uncertain.
  • Use one box style per render: ┌─┐│└─┘ normally, ╭─╮│╰─╯ for soft status cards, or +-| for ASCII-only surfaces. Keep nesting to three levels. Use arrows →, ↓, or -> and meters ▓▓▓░░ with the numeric value beside them.
  • Pair every status icon with a word: ✅ done, ❌ failed, ⚠️ warning, 🔄 in progress, ⏸ waiting, 💡 idea, 🚨 hard block, 🎯 goal, 🔥 top priority, 📜 doc, 🤖 agent, ⚡ hook, ℹ️ caveat. Risk uses 🟢 low, 🟡 medium, 🔴 high; ranking uses 🥇 1st, 🥈 2nd, 🥉 3rd.
  • For domain rows, use at most one leading icon: 🐳 docker, 🌐 browser, 📦 package, 🐍 python, 🧠 model, 📱 device, 💾 volume, 🗑️ trash, 🗂️ files, 📥 downloads, 🔑 secret, 🧪 test, 🖥️ host, ☁️ cloud, 📧 mail, 💬 chat. Keep icons out of prose sentences and avoid emoji chains.
  • Align labels and numbers by display width, accounting for wide characters. Avoid full-width decorative rules, em or en dashes, and Mermaid in this inline mode.
  • Use only supplied or verified data. Print ? for unknown values. Show units, denominators, and arithmetic for totals; call out overlaps or estimates.
  • An inventory proceeds from subject and headline meter to labeled sections, then rows containing label, bar, value, and action when relevant. Finish with section totals, the overall arithmetic, and caveats. Omit unsupported fields.

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.
