Test it

Using "ascii-visualizer". Show how a browser request reaches the application database.

Expected outcome:

A left-to-right flow connects Browser, Load Balancer, API, Service, and Database, with response direction shown below.

Using "ascii-visualizer". Compare the current monolith with a proposed modular architecture.

Expected outcome:

An aligned before-and-after comparison shows component count, dependency boundaries, deployment model, and migration impact.

Using "ascii-visualizer". Document the main folders in a web application.

Expected outcome:

An annotated tree lists application routes, feature modules, shared components, integrations, state, styles, and global types.

What You Can Build

Explain a system architecture

Convert services, data stores, and integrations into a readable component diagram.

Present an implementation workflow

Show ordered phases, ownership, dependencies, and completion states in one visual flow.

Document a project structure

Turn folders and key files into an annotated tree for onboarding documentation.

Try These Prompts

Simple process flow 
Create a compact ASCII flow for this process: [steps]. Label each stage and show direction clearly.
Project file tree 
Create an annotated ASCII file tree from this structure: [folders and files]. Add one short purpose beside each important item.
Architecture comparison 
Compare [option A] and [option B] in an aligned ASCII visualization. Include architecture, benefits, tradeoffs, and recommended use cases.
Layered system design 
Visualize this system at three levels: context, components, and data flow. Use consistent symbols and keep each diagram within 100 columns: [details].

Best Practices

  • Provide accurate labels, relationships, and ordering before requesting a diagram.
  • Keep diagrams within 80 to 100 columns for reliable display.
  • Use one consistent set of borders, arrows, and status symbols.

Avoid

  • Do not use ASCII diagrams when a standard table communicates the data more clearly.
  • Do not place long paragraphs inside narrow boxes.
  • Do not imply that visualized metrics or architecture details were independently verified.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of visuals can this skill create?
It creates architecture diagrams, workflows, file trees, comparisons, progress bars, and layered data-flow views.
Can it generate image files?
No. It produces text-based ASCII visualizations for terminals, chat, and Markdown documents.
Does it analyze my repository automatically?
No. Supply the relevant folders, components, relationships, and facts in your prompt.
Will diagrams display correctly everywhere?
They display best with a monospaced font. Narrow screens may wrap wide diagrams.
Can it show implementation status?
Yes. It can add progress bars, completion markers, priorities, and phase labels.
Which assistants support this skill?
The skill supports Claude, Codex, and Claude Code.
