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.
