What it does
Ascii Video is an agent skill from RedWoodOG/Hermes-Desktop. Production pipeline for ASCII art video — any format. Converts video/audio/images/generative input into colored ASCII character video output (MP4, GIF, image sequence). Covers: video-to-ASCII conversion, audio-reactive music visualizers, generative ASCII art animations, hybrid video+audio reactive, text/lyrics overlays, real-time terminal rendering. Use when users request: ASCII video, text art video, terminal-style video, character art animation, retro text visualization, audio visualizer in ASCII, converting…
Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/architecture.md` and `references/composition.md`).
It sits in Media & Creative.
When your agent uses it
- Users request: ASCII video
- Terminal-style video
- Character art animation
- Retro text visualization
Example prompts
- “/ascii-video”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Creative Vision
- Technical Design
- Build the Script
- Quality Verification
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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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 Video loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~76k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 150 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,366 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.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,366 words (~3,218 tokens).
“This is visual art. ASCII characters are the medium; cinema is the standard.”
