ASCII / Terminal Art

Local, keyless terminal art. Detect tools first: command -v figlet toilet lolcat chafa jp2a 2>/dev/null (Unix) / Get-Command figlet, chafa (Windows). Install: brew install figlet lolcat chafa jp2a / apt install figlet toilet lolcat chafa jp2a.

Big text banners

figlet "Deploy OK"
figlet -f slant "ChatCLI"          # other fonts: big, banner, standard
toilet -f mono12 -F metal "BUILD"  # toilet adds colors/filters

List figlet fonts: figlet -I2 shows the font directory; showfigfonts previews them.

Colorize

figlet "Done" | lolcat            # rainbow gradient

Image → ASCII / terminal preview

chafa image.png                   # high-fidelity terminal graphics (truecolor/sixel)
chafa --size 60x30 image.png
jp2a --colors image.jpg           # classic ASCII conversion

Rules

Banners are great for CLI/agent output; in messaging gateways (Telegram/WhatsApp), monospaced ASCII often breaks on phones — prefer plain text there, or send a rendered image.
Keep banners short; wide figlet output wraps badly in narrow terminals.
