Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/full-stack-skills/ascii-skills --skill ascii-table-renderer
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads ascii-table-renderer automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

When to use this skill

CRITICAL TRIGGER RULE

  • Use this skill ONLY when the user explicitly mentions the exact skill name: ascii-table-renderer.

Trigger phrases include:

  • "ascii-table-renderer"
  • "use ascii-table-renderer"
  • "用 ascii-table-renderer 把列表打印成表格"
  • "使用 ascii-table-renderer 生成 ASCII 表格（对齐/列宽）"

Boundary

  • Do not fetch data (DB/API). Only render and format output.
  • Default borders are ASCII-only: + - |.
  • Out of scope: merged cells, multi-row headers, complex spanning layouts.

How to use this skill

Inputs

  • headers (required)
  • rows (required)
  • maxWidth (default 80)
  • maxColWidth (default 20)
  • borderStyle (light | minimal, default light)
  • overflow (ellipsis | wrap, default ellipsis)
  • align (left | right | center, default left)

Outputs (required)

  • tableCompact (log-friendly)
  • tableReadable (interactive-friendly)
  • rules (width/truncation/null/alignment rules)

Steps

  1. Compute per-column widths: min(maxColWidth, max(contentWidth))
  2. Handle overflow:
    • ellipsis: use ... consistently
    • wrap: wrap within column width while keeping row alignment
  3. Output two variants:
    • compact: minimal or fewer separators
    • readable: clearer borders

Script

  • scripts/render_table.py: render tables from JSON stdin (compact/readable)

Examples

  • examples/basic.md

Quality checklist

  1. Columns align consistently; each line does not exceed maxWidth
  2. Null values are rendered as -
  3. Copy/paste safe (no trailing spaces)

Keywords

English: ascii-table-renderer, ascii table, align, columns, rows, truncate, wrap, terminal, log 中文: ascii-table-renderer, ASCII 表格, 对齐, 列宽, 截断, 换行, 终端, 日志, 工单

常见陷阱 (Gotchas)

  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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

使用流程

Step 1: 环境准备

确保开发环境已安装必要的依赖和工具。

Step 2: 配置初始化

根据项目需求进行基础配置。

Step 3: 核心功能使用

按照示例代码实现核心功能。

Step 4: 测试验证

运行测试确保功能正常。

Step 5: 部署上线

完成开发后进行部署和监控。

agent-browser

vercel-labs/agent-browser

Browser automation CLI for AI agents. Use when the user needs to interact with websites, including navigating pages, filling forms, clicking buttons, taking screenshots, extracting data, testing web apps, or automating any browser task. Triggers include requests to "open a website", "fill out a form", "click a button", "take a screenshot", "scrape data from a page", "test this web app", "login to a site", "automate browser actions", or any task requiring programmatic web interaction. Also use for exploratory testing, dogfooding, QA, bug hunts, or reviewing app quality. Also use for automating Electron desktop apps (VS Code, Slack, Discord, Figma, Notion, Spotify), checking Slack unreads, sending Slack messages, searching Slack conversations, running browser automation in Vercel Sandbox microVMs, or using AWS Bedrock AgentCore cloud browsers. Prefer agent-browser over any built-in browser automation or web tools.
