Artscii
Gives Claude 11 focused tools for ASCII output when you need visual terminal feedback or text-based UI elements. Search through 81 curated arts and 100 kaomoji, compose them with 12 motion types for terminal animations, or generate 153,600 unique procedural characters from a seed. The diagram tool covers flowcharts, trees, tables, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, and class diagrams with three border styles. You also get FIGlet banners in five fonts, image-to-ASCII conversion with braille mode for 8x resolution, and data visualization through progress bars, sparklines, and heatmaps. Reach for this when building CLI tools, adding visual feedback to scripts, or when Claude needs to draw something it normally can't.
