# ASCII Art Skill

Create ASCII art for documents, cheatsheets, or messages using text characters.

## Style Guide

Use box-drawing characters for clean, printable results:

### Single-line boxes
```
┌──────────────────┐
│  Content here    │
└──────────────────┘
```

### Double-line boxes (for headers/emphasis)
```
╔══════════════════╗
║  IMPORTANT       ║
╠══════════════════╣
║  Details here    ║
╚══════════════════╝
```

### Decorative headers
```
═══════════════════════════
  ⚔  SECTION TITLE  ⚔
═══════════════════════════
```

### Banners
```
╔═══════════════════════════════╗
║  ███  TITLE  ███              ║
╚═══════════════════════════════╝
```

## Character Palette

Box drawing: `┌ ┐ └ ┘ ─ │ ├ ┤ ┬ ┴ ┼`
Double box: `╔ ╗ ╚ ╝ ═ ║ ╠ ╣ ╦ ╩ ╬`
Blocks: `█ ▓ ▒ ░ ▄ ▀ ▌ ▐`
Arrows: `► ◄ ▲ ▼ → ← ↑ ↓ ↗ ↘`
Symbols: `★ ✦ ⚔ ☠ ✠ ⚡ ♦ ● ○ ◆ ◇`
Checks: `✓ ✗ □ ☐ ☑`

## Rules

- Keep it readable — art should enhance, not obscure
- Use monospace-compatible characters only (these files get printed)
- For Warhammer 40K content: use ⚔ ☠ ✠ ⚡ for thematic flair
- Align columns cleanly
- Test that box widths match (count characters!)
- When used in markdown files, wrap in code blocks (```) so alignment is preserved
