ASCII text banners and box art (pyfiglet, cowsay, boxes).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# ASCII Art Generation
Create ASCII art text banners, speech bubbles, box decorations, and large display text using `pyfiglet`, `cowsay`, and `boxes` — all CLI/Python tools.
## When to Use
- User wants a stylized text banner for a terminal script or README
- User wants a fun cowsay/fortune-style message
- User wants decorative box borders around text
- User wants large ASCII letters for display purposes
- User wants ASCII art for CLI tool headers or splash screens
## How to Use
### 1. Install tools
```powershell
pip install pyfiglet
pip install cowsay
# boxes (optional, for border art)
# Windows: winget install info-zip.unzip # then download boxes binary
```
### 2. Generate a text banner with pyfiglet
```python
import pyfiglet
# Default font (Standard)
print(pyfiglet.figlet_format("Hello World"))
# Specific font
print(pyfiglet.figlet_format("DevOS", font="banner3-D"))
# List all available fonts
fonts = pyfiglet.FigletFont.getFonts()
print(f"Available fonts: {len(fonts)}")
print(fonts[:20])
```
### 3. Sample popular pyfiglet fonts
```python
import pyfiglet
text = "AIDEN"

How to install
mdr add taracodlabs/aiden/ascii-art@sha256:6d139cb46ede78d5The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
