beautiful ascii diagrams
A macOS-native ASCII diagram editor with an agent skill. Let Codex or Claude generate your diagrams, then refine them on a visual canvas.
From Prompt to Canvas
The unified skill spans structural diagrams, process flow, metric comparison, and small terminal art without switching tools or modes.
