Generate dark-themed SVG diagrams of software systems and cloud infrastructure as standalone HTML files with inline SVG graphics. Semantic component colors (cyan=frontend, emerald=backend, violet=database, amber=cloud/AWS, rose=security, orange=message bus), JetBrains Mono font, grid background. Best suited for software architecture, cloud/VPC topology, microservice maps, service-mesh diagrams, database + API layer diagrams, security groups, message buses — anything that fits a tech-infra deck with a dark aesthetic. If a more specialized diagramming skill exists for the subject (scientific, educational, hand-drawn, animated, etc.), prefer that — otherwise this skill can also serve as a general-purpose SVG diagram fallback. Based on Cocoon AI's architecture-diagram-generator (MIT).

Generate ASCII art using pyfiglet (571 fonts), cowsay, boxes, toilet, image-to-ascii, remote APIs (asciified, ascii.co.uk), and LLM fallback. No API keys required.

Production pipeline for ASCII art video — any format. Converts video/audio/images/generative input into colored ASCII character video output (MP4, GIF, image sequence). Covers: video-to-ASCII conversion, audio-reactive music visualizers, generative ASCII art animations, hybrid video+audio reactive, text/lyrics overlays, real-time terminal rendering. Use when users request: ASCII video, text art video, terminal-style video, character art animation, retro text visualization, audio visualizer in ASCII, converting video to ASCII art, matrix-style effects, or any animated ASCII output.

Generate project ideas through creative constraints. Use when the user says 'I want to build something', 'give me a project idea', 'I'm bored', 'what should I make', 'inspire me', or any variant of 'I have tools but no direction'. Works for code, art, hardware, writing, tools, and anything that can be made.

Create hand-drawn style diagrams using Excalidraw JSON format. Generate .excalidraw files for architecture diagrams, flowcharts, sequence diagrams, concept maps, and more. Files can be opened at excalidraw.com or uploaded for shareable links.
