What problem does it solve?

When you need readable CLI output, freehand ASCII can produce misaligned borders and broken alignment, especially with nested tables or wide terminal content.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unicode box rendering: Creates properly aligned terminal frames and table borders using consistent box-drawing characters (no ASCII +---+ style boxes).
  • Box/table composition: Builds single boxes, tables with headers and separators, and nested frames for structured multi-level display.
  • Layout control: Supports width, padding, alignment, and styling (single/double/bold) to keep every output line the same visual width.

Use case examples:

  • Produce a status panel for logs or diagnostics with aligned columns.
  • Generate a nested “outer context / inner details” display for reviews, reports, or summaries.

Quick Start

Ask to draw a Unicode box around the message and return it aligned for terminal display using a single-line script command.
