SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires python>=3.8, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill adds a layer of ANSI color to existing ASCII or plain-text output, making terminal interfaces more visually appealing and informative with gradients, rainbows, or highlights. It ensures that colors do not break text alignment and provides a no-color fallback for compatibility.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • ANSI Colorization: Applies color to text using various palettes (rainbow, gradient, brand colors).
  • Alignment Safety: Ensures that colored text maintains its original alignment, crucial for terminal UIs.
  • No-Color Fallback: Provides a plain-text version of the output for environments that do not support ANSI colors.
  • Use Case: Enhance the output of command-line tools or ASCII art banners with dynamic color schemes for better readability and aesthetic appeal.

Quick Start

Use the ascii-ansi-colorizer skill to add a left-to-right rainbow gradient to the provided text.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add ANSI color to ASCII text in the terminal?

To add ANSI color to ASCII text, you apply colorization palettes like rainbow or gradient. This enhances plain-text output by coloring only visible characters while leaving spaces untouched to maintain alignment.

Why does ANSI color break terminal text alignment and how to avoid it?

ANSI color breaks terminal text alignment when codes alter string length. You avoid this by using alignment-safe coloring that targets only visible characters and provides a no-color fallback for unsupported environments.

Can I apply a rainbow gradient to ASCII art banners?

Yes, you can apply a rainbow gradient to ASCII art banners. The colorization supports configurable direction and color depth, enabling dynamic color schemes for better readability and aesthetic appeal in terminal interfaces.

Does Python terminal colorization work with no-color fallback environments?

Python terminal colorization works with no-color fallback environments by outputting a plain-text version. This ensures compatibility across terminals that do not support ANSI colors without losing the underlying ASCII content.

What is the best way to colorize command-line tool output with brand colors?

The best way to colorize command-line tool output with brand colors is to apply a specific brand color palette. This directly maps specified colors to text while ensuring the original layout remains structurally intact.
