Development
ascii-mini-charts
Generate ASCII mini charts (sparkline/bar/simple line) for plain-text trend inspection, with minimal + annotated variants and normalization notes.
When to use this skill
CRITICAL TRIGGER RULE
- Use this skill ONLY when the user explicitly mentions the exact skill name:
ascii-mini-charts.
Trigger phrases include:
- "ascii-mini-charts"
- "use ascii-mini-charts"
- "用 ascii-mini-charts 生成 sparkline / 火花线"
- "使用 ascii-mini-charts 标注 min/max/current"
Boundary
- No statistical inference. Visualization only.
- Default output is ASCII-only. Unicode blocks are optional and MUST include an ASCII-only fallback.
- Default output width should stay <= 60 columns. For longer series, provide a compression strategy (sampling/bucketing).
How to use this skill
Inputs
- series (required numeric list)
- type (sparkline | bar | line, default sparkline)
- width (default min(len(series), 30))
- height (default 10 for bar/line)
- normalize (linear | log, default linear)
- showLabels (default true)
Outputs (required)
- chartMinimal
- chartAnnotated (with min/max/current)
- scaleNotes (normalization + outlier strategy)
Script
scripts/mini_charts.py: generate ASCII mini charts from JSON stdin
Examples
examples/sparkline.md
Quality checklist
- Trend is clear; labels are short and non-spammy
- ASCII-only output copy/pastes cleanly
- Provide a compression strategy for long series

常见陷阱 (Gotchas)
- 版本兼容性：注意框架版本与依赖库的兼容性，不同版本 API 可能有差异
- 配置文件格式：配置文件格式错误是最常见的问题，建议使用编辑器的语法检查
- 环境变量：确保所有必要的环境变量已正确设置，敏感信息不要硬编码
- 依赖冲突：多版本共存时注意依赖冲突，使用 lock 文件锁定版本
- 性能陷阱：大数据量场景下注意性能优化，避免 N+1 查询等常见问题
