About this skill

CLI ASCII Logo

Goal

  • Generate an ASCII art logo that can be output directly in the terminal (with borders and gradient colors)
  • Output a "copy-pasteable" result (plain text/with ANSI colors), and provide an integration method to display it at CLI startup
  • Provide a runnable generation script:scripts/generate_logo.py

Workflow

  1. Specify inputs
    • Name: e.g. auto-cli
    • Subtitle: e.g. Command Line Interface
    • Terminal width: default 80 (can be adjusted according to project/CI output)
    • Style: heavy blocks (█)/ thin lines (#/*)/ no color
    • Border:╔═╗║ ║╚═╝ or plain text
    • Color scheme: cyan → purple (Spec Kit style), cyan → blue, orange → pink, etc.

  1. Generated result

    • Generate directly by running the script (most reliable): see "Quick Start" below
    • Or generate as needed in the target language (Node/Python/Go); the core is:
      • First obtain the "monospaced character art" (multiline string)
      • Then do border concatenation
      • Then do per-character gradient (output ANSI TrueColor sequences)

  2. Integrate into CLI

    • Output once at startup of the run entry point (main/bin/__main__)
    • Support disabling color:
      • Respect NO_COLOR=1
      • Provide the --no-color parameter
      • Disabled by default in CI environments (can be enabled as needed)

Quick Start (script)

Best results in terminals that support TrueColor (macOS Terminal / iTerm2 / VS Code terminal).

python3 scripts/generate_logo.py --text auto-cli --subtitle "Command Line Interface"

Common parameters:

python3 scripts/generate_logo.py \
  --text auto-cli \
  --subtitle "Command Line Interface" \
  --width 46 \
  --palette spec-kit \
  --frame box

Delivery format

  • Plain text (no color): suitable for README / logs / environments that do not support ANSI
  • ANSI colored text: suitable for CLI startup screens (recommended to provide --no-color toggle)
  • Recommended to provide both:
    • banner.txt(no color)
    • banner.ansi.txt(with color)
    • renderBanner()(output according to the environment in your CLI)

Validation

  • Test in terminal: Run cat banner.ansi.txt to verify color rendering
  • Test plain text: Run cat banner.txt to verify alignment without ANSI
  • Width check: Ensure no line exceeds the target width (default 80)
  • NO_COLOR compliance: Verify the CLI respects NO_COLOR=1 and --no-color
