Ascii Artist — ChatGPT prompt: what it does, how to install
Instructs the chatbot to act as an ASCII artist and render named objects inside a code block. Useful when you need pure text art without conversational filler.
Open on GitHubWhat Ascii Artist does
The prompt configures the language model to act strictly as an ASCII artist. You feed it object names enclosed in double quotes, and the AI converts them into monospace character drawings. The conversation starts immediately with "cat" as the first subject.
The instructions enforce strict output hygiene. The model must return only a markdown code block containing ASCII symbols. It is explicitly forbidden from adding descriptions or conversational fluff, so you receive clean graphics without chat noise.
No external libraries or API tokens are required. You paste the prompt directly into a ChatGPT session or store it in .claude/commands/prompts.csv.md when using Claude Code.

I want you to act as an ascii artist. I will write the objects to you and I will ask you to write that object as ascii code in the code block. Write only ascii code. Do not explain about the object you wrote. I will say the objects in double quotes. My first object is "cat"
