What it does
Ascii Art is an agent skill from RedWoodOG/Hermes-Desktop. Generate ASCII art using pyfiglet (571 fonts), cowsay, boxes, toilet, image-to-ascii, remote APIs (asciified, ascii.co.uk), and LLM fallback. No API keys required.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/ascii-art”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Text as a banner → pyfiglet if installed, otherwise asciified API via curl
- Wrap a message in fun character art → cowsay
- Add decorative border/frame → boxes (can combine with pyfiglet/asciified)
- Art of a specific thing (cat, rocket, dragon) → ascii.co.uk via curl + parsing
- Convert an image to ASCII → ascii-image-converter or jp2a
- QR code → qrenco.de via curl
- Weather/moon art → wttr.in via curl
- Something custom/creative → LLM generation with Unicode palette
- Any tool not installed → install it, or fall back to next option
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit be46b39. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
curlpython3aptpip
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
asciified.thelicato.ioascii.co.ukapi.github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Ascii Art loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 718 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

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 -qUsage
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 fontsRecommended 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
doomorblock - Long text works better with compact fonts like
smallormini
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"Tips
- URL-encode spaces as
+in the text parameter - The response is plain text ASCII art — no JSON wrapping, ready to display
- Font names are case-sensitive; use the fonts endpoint to get exact names
- Works from any terminal with curl — no Python or pip needed
Tool 3: Cowsay (Message Art)
Classic tool that wraps text in a speech bubble with an ASCII character.
Setup
sudo apt install cowsay -y # Debian/Ubuntu
# brew install cowsay # macOSUsage
cowsay "Hello World"
cowsay -f tux "Linux rules" # Tux the penguin
cowsay -f dragon "Rawr!" # Dragon
cowsay -f stegosaurus "Roar!" # Stegosaurus
cowthink "Hmm..." # Thought bubble
cowsay -l # List all charactersAvailable characters (50+)
beavis.zen, bong, bunny, cheese, daemon, default, dragon,
dragon-and-cow, elephant, eyes, flaming-skull, ghostbusters,
hellokitty, kiss, kitty, koala, luke-koala, mech-and-cow,
meow, moofasa, moose, ren, sheep, skeleton, small,
stegosaurus, stimpy, supermilker, surgery, three-eyes,
turkey, turtle, tux, udder, vader, vader-koala, www
Eye/tongue modifiers
cowsay -b "Borg" # =_= eyes
cowsay -d "Dead" # x_x eyes
cowsay -g "Greedy" # $_$ eyes
cowsay -p "Paranoid" # @_@ eyes
cowsay -s "Stoned" # *_* eyes
cowsay -w "Wired" # O_O eyes
cowsay -e "OO" "Msg" # Custom eyes
cowsay -T "U " "Msg" # Custom tongueTool 4: Boxes (Decorative Borders)
Draw decorative ASCII art borders/frames around any text. 70+ built-in designs.
Setup
sudo apt install boxes -y # Debian/Ubuntu
# brew install boxes # macOSUsage
echo "Hello World" | boxes # Default box
echo "Hello World" | boxes -d stone # Stone border
echo "Hello World" | boxes -d parchment # Parchment scroll
echo "Hello World" | boxes -d cat # Cat border
echo "Hello World" | boxes -d dog # Dog border
echo "Hello World" | boxes -d unicornsay # Unicorn
echo "Hello World" | boxes -d diamonds # Diamond pattern
echo "Hello World" | boxes -d c-cmt # C-style comment
echo "Hello World" | boxes -d html-cmt # HTML comment
echo "Hello World" | boxes -a c # Center text
boxes -l # List all 70+ designsCombine with pyfiglet or asciified
python3 -m pyfiglet "HERMES" -f slant | boxes -d stone
# Or without pyfiglet installed:
curl -s "https://asciified.thelicato.io/api/v2/ascii?text=HERMES&font=Slant" | boxes -d stoneTool 5: TOIlet (Colored Text Art)
Like pyfiglet but with ANSI color effects and visual filters. Great for terminal eye candy.
Setup
sudo apt install toilet toilet-fonts -y # Debian/Ubuntu
# brew install toilet # macOSUsage
toilet "Hello World" # Basic text art
toilet -f bigmono12 "Hello" # Specific font
toilet --gay "Rainbow!" # Rainbow coloring
toilet --metal "Metal!" # Metallic effect
toilet -F border "Bordered" # Add border
toilet -F border --gay "Fancy!" # Combined effects
toilet -f pagga "Block" # Block-style font (unique to toilet)
toilet -F list # List available filtersFilters
crop, gay (rainbow), metal, flip, flop, 180, left, right, border
Note: toilet outputs ANSI escape codes for colors — works in terminals but may not render in all contexts (e.g., plain text files, some chat platforms).
Tool 6: Image to ASCII Art
Convert images (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WEBP) to ASCII art.
Option A: ascii-image-converter (recommended, modern)
# Install
sudo snap install ascii-image-converter
# OR: go install github.com/TheZoraiz/ascii-image-converter@latestascii-image-converter image.png # Basic
ascii-image-converter image.png -C # Color output
ascii-image-converter image.png -d 60,30 # Set dimensions
ascii-image-converter image.png -b # Braille characters
ascii-image-converter image.png -n # Negative/inverted
ascii-image-converter https://url/image.jpg # Direct URL
ascii-image-converter image.png --save-txt out # Save as textOption B: jp2a (lightweight, JPEG only)
sudo apt install jp2a -y
jp2a --width=80 image.jpg
jp2a --colors image.jpg # ColorizedTool 7: Search Pre-Made ASCII Art
Search curated ASCII art from the web. Use terminal with curl.
Show full SKILL.md (324 more words)Show less
Source A: ascii.co.uk (recommended for pre-made art)
Large collection of classic ASCII art organized by subject. Art is inside HTML <pre> tags. Fetch the page with curl, then extract art with a small Python snippet.
URL pattern: https://ascii.co.uk/art/{subject}
Step 1 — Fetch the page:
curl -s 'https://ascii.co.uk/art/cat' -o /tmp/ascii_art.htmlStep 2 — Extract art from pre tags:
import re, html
with open('/tmp/ascii_art.html') as f:
text = f.read()
arts = re.findall(r'<pre[^>]*>(.*?)</pre>', text, re.DOTALL)
for art in arts:
clean = re.sub(r'<[^>]+>', '', art)
clean = html.unescape(clean).strip()
if len(clean) > 30:
print(clean)
print('\n---\n')Available subjects (use as URL path):
- Animals:
cat,dog,horse,bird,fish,dragon,snake,rabbit,elephant,dolphin,butterfly,owl,wolf,bear,penguin,turtle - Objects:
car,ship,airplane,rocket,guitar,computer,coffee,beer,cake,house,castle,sword,crown,key - Nature:
tree,flower,sun,moon,star,mountain,ocean,rainbow - Characters:
skull,robot,angel,wizard,pirate,ninja,alien - Holidays:
christmas,halloween,valentine
Tips:
- Preserve artist signatures/initials — important etiquette
- Multiple art pieces per page — pick the best one for the user
- Works reliably via curl, no JavaScript needed
Source B: GitHub Octocat API (fun easter egg)
Returns a random GitHub Octocat with a wise quote. No auth needed.
curl -s https://api.github.com/octocatTool 8: Fun ASCII Utilities (via curl)
These free services return ASCII art directly — great for fun extras.
QR Codes as ASCII Art
curl -s "qrenco.de/Hello+World"
curl -s "qrenco.de/https://example.com"Weather as ASCII Art
curl -s "wttr.in/London" # Full weather report with ASCII graphics
curl -s "wttr.in/Moon" # Moon phase in ASCII art
curl -s "v2.wttr.in/London" # Detailed versionTool 9: LLM-Generated Custom Art (Fallback)
When tools above don't have what's needed, generate ASCII art directly using these Unicode characters:
Character Palette
Box Drawing: ╔ ╗ ╚ ╝ ║ ═ ╠ ╣ ╦ ╩ ╬ ┌ ┐ └ ┘ │ ─ ├ ┤ ┬ ┴ ┼ ╭ ╮ ╰ ╯
Block Elements: ░ ▒ ▓ █ ▄ ▀ ▌ ▐ ▖ ▗ ▘ ▝ ▚ ▞
Geometric & Symbols: ◆ ◇ ◈ ● ○ ◉ ■ □ ▲ △ ▼ ▽ ★ ☆ ✦ ✧ ◀ ▶ ◁ ▷ ⬡ ⬢ ⌂
Rules
- Max width: 60 characters per line (terminal-safe)
- Max height: 15 lines for banners, 25 for scenes
- Monospace only: output must render correctly in fixed-width fonts
Decision Flow
- Text as a banner → pyfiglet if installed, otherwise asciified API via curl
- Wrap a message in fun character art → cowsay
- Add decorative border/frame → boxes (can combine with pyfiglet/asciified)
- Art of a specific thing (cat, rocket, dragon) → ascii.co.uk via curl + parsing
- Convert an image to ASCII → ascii-image-converter or jp2a
- QR code → qrenco.de via curl
- Weather/moon art → wttr.in via curl
- Something custom/creative → LLM generation with Unicode palette
- Any tool not installed → install it, or fall back to next option

Can I use Ascii Art in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add RedWoodOG/Hermes-Desktop --skill ascii-art -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/ascii-art, .gemini/skills/ascii-art, .github/skills/ascii-art and .opencode/skills/ascii-art in your project.
What does Ascii Art need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Ascii Art needs the command-line tools its instructions call (curl, python3, apt and pip). Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Ascii Art access the network?
SKILL.md names 3 domains. In commands or code: asciified.thelicato.io, ascii.co.uk and api.github.com; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Ascii Art safe to install?
