Guides stable API and interface design. Use when designing APIs, module boundaries, or any public interface. Use when creating REST or GraphQL endpoints, defining type contracts between modules, or establishing boundaries between frontend and backend.
Tests in real browsers. Use when building or debugging anything that runs in a browser. Use when you need to inspect the DOM, capture console errors, analyze network requests, profile performance, or verify visual output with real runtime data via Chrome DevTools MCP.
Automates CI/CD pipeline setup. Use when setting up or modifying build and deployment pipelines. Use when you need to automate quality gates, configure test runners in CI, or establish deployment strategies.
Conducts multi-axis code review. Use before merging any change. Use when reviewing code written by yourself, another agent, or a human. Use when you need to assess code quality across multiple dimensions before it enters the main branch.
Simplifies code for clarity. Use when refactoring code for clarity without changing behavior. Use when code works but is harder to read, maintain, or extend than it should be. Use when reviewing code that has accumulated unnecessary complexity.
Optimizes agent context setup. Use when starting a new session, when agent output quality degrades, when switching between tasks, or when you need to configure rules files and context for a project.

Like pyfiglet but with ANSI color effects and visual filters. Great for terminal eye candy.
sudo apt install toilet toilet-fonts -y # Debian/Ubuntu
# brew install toilet # macOS
toilet "Hello World" # Basic text art
toilet -f bigmono12 "Hello" # Specific font
toilet --gay "Rainbow!" # Rainbow coloring
toilet --metal "Metal!" # Metallic effect
toilet -F border "Bordered" # Add border
toilet -F border --gay "Fancy!" # Combined effects
toilet -f pagga "Block" # Block-style font (unique to toilet)
toilet -F list # List available filters
crop, gay (rainbow), metal, flip, flop, 180, left, right, border
Note: toilet outputs ANSI escape codes for colors — works in terminals but may not render in all contexts (e.g., plain text files, some chat platforms).

Search curated ASCII art from the web. Use terminal with curl.
Large collection of classic ASCII art organized by subject. Art is inside HTML <pre> tags. Fetch the page with curl, then extract art with a small Python snippet.
URL pattern: https://ascii.co.uk/art/{subject}
Step 1 — Fetch the page:
curl -s 'https://ascii.co.uk/art/cat' -o /tmp/ascii_art.html
Step 2 — Extract art from pre tags:
import re, html
with open('/tmp/ascii_art.html') as f:
text = f.read()
arts = re.findall(r'<pre[^>]*>(.*?)</pre>', text, re.DOTALL)
for art in arts:
clean = re.sub(r'<[^>]+>', '', art)
clean = html.unescape(clean).strip()
if len(clean) > 30:
print(clean)
print('\n---\n')
Available subjects (use as URL path):
cat, dog, horse, bird, fish, dragon, snake, rabbit, elephant, dolphin, butterfly, owl, wolf, bear, penguin, turtlecar, ship, airplane, rocket, guitar, computer, coffee, beer, cake, house, castle, sword, crown, keytree, flower, sun, moon, star, mountain, ocean, rainbowskull, robot, angel, wizard, pirate, ninja, alienchristmas, halloween, valentineTips:
Returns a random GitHub Octocat with a wise quote. No auth needed.
curl -s https://api.github.com/octocat
These free services return ASCII art directly — great for fun extras.
curl -s "qrenco.de/Hello+World"
curl -s "qrenco.de/https://example.com"
curl -s "wttr.in/London" # Full weather report with ASCII graphics
curl -s "wttr.in/Moon" # Moon phase in ASCII art
curl -s "v2.wttr.in/London" # Detailed version
When tools above don't have what's needed, generate ASCII art directly using these Unicode characters:
