ascii-art-beautifier

Fix misaligned ASCII diagrams in markdown files by normalizing line widths, aligning vertical borders, and enforcing consistent padding. A Python validator detects width mismatches and nesting problems, automatically rebuilding nested structures to ensure diagrams render correctly in monospace fonts.

Generate new ASCII flow charts from text descriptions using Unicode box-drawing characters and programmatic helpers. The skill calculates precise column math to produce readable architecture diagrams with uniform line widths and consistent symmetry for your README files.

Box-drawing characters render with broken vertical borders due to inconsistent line widths and missing padding. A validator script detects these width mismatches and nesting problems, enforcing uniform padding and aligning borders so diagrams render correctly in any monospace font.

You can use the included Python validator script to automatically validate and fix ASCII art alignment in documentation. It detects width mismatches, missing borders, and padding issues, then auto-fixes or rebuilds nested box-drawing structures inside fenced code blocks.

The best way to standardize architecture diagrams in README files is applying a Python validator that enforces uniform line widths, vertical border alignment, and consistent padding. This ensures box-drawing characters render correctly across any monospace font environment.

The ASCII art beautifier works directly with existing fenced code blocks in markdown. It targets blocks containing Unicode box-drawing characters, detecting width mismatches and nesting problems to clean up messy documentation diagrams and write back validated, aligned structures.
