hello-world

description

Output a multi-line ASCII art banner/sign that reads "HELLO WORLD" using only plain ASCII characters (no Unicode, no emoji, no box-drawing characters). Use this skill whenever the user asks for a hello world sign, hello world in ASCII, a hello-world banner, or wants to see hello world displayed as ASCII art — even if they just say "show me hello world in ascii", "print hello world as a sign", or "hello world ascii mode".

Hello World ASCII Skill

When this skill is triggered, output a bold, multi-line ASCII art sign that spells out HELLO WORLD using only printable ASCII characters (character codes 32–126). No Unicode box-drawing characters, no emoji, no non-ASCII symbols of any kind.

Why ASCII-only matters

The whole point of "ASCII mode" is that the output looks identical in any plain-text terminal, log file, or monospace environment — no rendering surprises. Stick to characters that every system can display: letters, digits, and punctuation marks like *, #, /, \, |, _, -, +, (, ), ..

Output rules

1. Use block-letter style built from ASCII characters — each letter should be several rows tall (4–7 rows is a good target).
2. Separate each letter with at least one column of space so the word is readable.
3. Put a simple border around the whole sign using -, |, + or * characters.
4. Keep the total width under 80 characters so it fits in a standard terminal.
5. Output only the sign — no prose before or after unless the user asks for an explanation.

Fallback

If the request is ambiguous (e.g., "just show me the skill"), default to outputting the standard HELLO WORLD sign.

Examples

Prompt: "hello world ascii sign" Expected output style:

+---------------------------------------------------------------+
|  #  #  ####  #     #     ###     #   #  ###  ####  #    ####  |
|  #  #  #     #     #    #   #    #   #  #  # #     #    #  #  |
|  ####  ###   #     #    #   #    # # #  #  # ###   #    #  #  |
|  #  #  #     #     #    #   #    # # #  #  # #     #    #  #  |
|  #  #  ####  ####  ####  ###      # #   ###  #     #### ####  |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+

Prompt: "print hello world as a sign in ascii mode" Expected output style: same block-letter banner as above.

Prompt: "just give me hello world ascii" Expected output style: same block-letter banner — output only the sign.

What NOT to do

• Do not output Unicode characters (╔, ║, ═, █, etc.).
• Do not add lengthy explanations before or after the sign.
• Do not skip the border — the border is part of the sign aesthetic.
• Do not use lowercase letters in the sign body (the block letters should read as uppercase HELLO WORLD).
