How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 22 edited versions we read keep these.
2
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 35
Keep it purposeful: splash, loading, 404, divider - not decoration for its own sake.
- Distinctive: line 40
Every piece: https://ascii.rest/ (browse grid)
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 22 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Overview
ascii.rest is a free MIT library of 217 animated ASCII pieces plus
block-letter banners. Use it inside artifacts you generate for the user
(READMEs, landing pages, CLIs, terminal output) - never as a dependency
of the bundle itself.
Choose the surface
| Target artifact | Surface |
| GitHub README / no-JS context | Animated SVG export (self-contained file) |
| React / Next.js / Astro app | npm install ascii.rest then import { Ascii, Banner } from "ascii.rest/react" |
| Plain HTML, no build | <script type="module" src="https://ascii.rest/ascii.js"></script> + <ascii-art piece="donut"> |
| Terminal preview / CLI splash | npx ascii.rest <piece> or npx ascii.rest banner "<text>" --color f97316,f778ba (Node 18.3+) |
| Custom piece (one-liner) | the kit: sea({ palette: "ocean" }), spinning(torus()) |
| User photo/logo as ascii | image-to-ascii tool (browser, client-side) |
Rules
- READMEs get the SVG export, not the script tag - GitHub strips scripts.
<Ascii>renders a<pre>with no CSS: setstyle={{ lineHeight: 1.2, margin: 0 }}or rows collapse.- CDN script tag means a runtime dependency on ascii.rest availability; when the artifact must be self-contained, copy the piece source into the project ("your own copy" mode) or use the SVG.
- Piece names are the slugs on ascii.rest (
night-coast,tokyo-rain,matrix-rain);npx ascii.rest listprints them all. - Banners:
<ascii-banner text="x" color="#f97316,#f778ba" shadow="rounded">; two colors = fade. - Keep it purposeful: splash, loading, 404, divider - not decoration for its own sake.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
