- +Shape & mediumBlock-letter banner for word/title requests; labeled box-and-arrow diagram for structural/flow requests.
- +Exact literal text / labelsUse the exact word/phrase quoted; if none, use a clear placeholder.
- +Character set / palettePure 7-bit ASCII unless the target clearly supports Unicode; for clean boxes use box-drawing chars and note the tradeoff.
- +Dimensions / width80 columns max; standard figlet height (~6 rows) for banners.
- +Render target / where it livesREADME/terminal-safe block wrapped in a fenced code block so monospacing is preserved.
- +Raw copy-pasteable outputReturn only the art inside a single fenced code block, nothing else.
Left out for this type: role ('expert ASCII artist'); prose tone/voice descriptors; 'clear and well-structured'; audience persona ('for busy executives'); prose explanation of design choices inside the block; SEO/word-length/reading-level asks; color adjectives when the medium is plain text
