Use when drawing anything out of text characters, for work or fun. Diagrams (flowcharts, architecture, sequence, state machines, file trees), tables and charts in plain text (bar charts, sparklines, line plots, progress bars), big banner letters, boxes and callouts, ASCII art pictures and pixel sprites, kaomoji and emoticons, game boards, dungeon maps and mazes. Also when a terminal reply, README, code comment or commit message needs a picture instead of prose. Draws on a grid, uses bundled…

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

Pictures made of text: diagrams, charts, tables, banners, art, games. They break in three ways, and this skill fixes each one.

```text
Breaks because                    Fix
columns counted by feel           draw on a grid, run check.mjs
big letters and bars freehand     a script draws them
pasted where spacing collapses    fence it, pick characters for the place
```

Sources checked: [SOURCES.md](SOURCES.md)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add leahycc/claude-skills/ascii-art@sha256:c13abe109fe96127

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.9e9380f, 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.
