    Figlet Text Converter

    Overview

    This skill converts marked text in files to ASCII art using the figlet library. It uses a simple, universal tag syntax that works across all file types and intelligently preserves comment formatting when tags are placed in commented sections. The skill handles dependency management automatically and supports 400+ fonts with sensible defaults.

    When to Use This Skill

    Use this skill when:

    • User asks to convert text in a file to ASCII art
    • User provides a file containing <figlet> tags
    • User requests to list available figlet fonts
    • User wants to add visual ASCII art headers or banners to code, documentation, or configuration files

    Tag Syntax

    Universal Markup

    Insert <figlet> tags anywhere in a file to mark text for ASCII art conversion:

    With font specification:

    <figlet font="3-D">Text to Convert</figlet>
    

    Using default font (standard):

    <figlet>Text to Convert</figlet>
    

    Usage in Different Contexts

    Markdown Documents

    # Section Title
    
    <figlet font="Standard">Important Notice</figlet>
    
    Content goes here...
    

    Shell Scripts

    #!/bin/bash
    
    echo '<figlet>Deployment Started</figlet>'
    
    # Script logic...
    

    Python Code

    # <figlet>Configuration</figlet>
    
    config = {
        'setting': 'value'
    }
    

    PHP/JavaScript

    // <figlet font="Block">Database Connection</figlet>
    
    function connectDB() {
        // ...
    }
    

    Plain Text/Config Files

    Workflow

    Processing a File

    When a user requests ASCII art conversion:

    1. Read the file containing <figlet> tags
    2. Validate all font names (error immediately if invalid)
    3. For each tag:
      • Extract the font name (or use 'standard' if omitted)
      • Generate ASCII art for the text
      • Detect comment style from the surrounding line (// # -- /*)
      • Format output with appropriate comment prefixes
    4. Replace tags with formatted ASCII art
    5. Write changes back to the file

    Handling Comments

    The skill automatically detects comment context:

    Single-line comments:

    // <figlet>Section Break</figlet>
    

    Outputs each line with // prefix:

    // ___         _   _                  ____          _
    // / __| ___  | | | | ___  _ _      | __ ) _ _  __| | |
    // \__ \/ -_) | |_| |/ _ \| '  \    | _ \| '_|/ _` | |
    // |___/\___|  \___/ \___/|_|_|_|   |_| \_\_|  \__,_|_|
    

    Hash comments (Python, Shell):

    # <figlet>Configuration</figlet>
    

    Outputs with # prefix.

    SQL/SQL comments:

    -- <figlet>Query Section</figlet>
    

    Outputs with -- prefix.

    Block comments:

    /* <figlet>Module Start</figlet>
    

    Outputs with * prefix:

     * ___  _           _     _        ___   _             _
     * |  \/  | ___   __| | _ | | ___  / __| | |_  __ _  _ | |_
     * | |\/| |/ _ \ / _` ||_|| |/ -_) \__ \ |  _|/ _` || ||  _|
     * |_|  |_|\___/ \__,_| \__/ \___|  |___/ |_|  \__,_|\__|\__|
    

    Plain text (no comment prefix):

    <figlet>Plain ASCII Art</figlet>
    

    Outputs raw ASCII art without formatting.

    Font Selection

    Default Font

    If no font is specified, 'standard' is used:

    <figlet>Default Font Example</figlet>
    

    Custom Fonts

    Specify any of 400+ available fonts:

    <figlet font="Block">Bold Text</figlet>
    <figlet font="3-D">3D Effect</figlet>
    <figlet font="Shadow">Shadowed</figlet>
    

    Finding Fonts

    When user requests to list available fonts, run the font discovery script to show:

    • Previews of the first 10 fonts with examples
    • Complete alphabetical listing of all 400+ fonts
    • Font names for use in tags

    Popular fonts:

    • standard (default)
    • 3-D
    • Block
    • Big
    • Shadow
    • Slant
    • Graffiti
    • Doom

    Error Handling

    The skill validates fonts before processing:

    • Invalid font specified: Error immediately with font name and suggestion to list available fonts
    • File not found: Error with file path
    • Node.js/npm issues: Error with installation instructions
