What dependencies are required to run this skill?

The skill requires Python 3 and the plotext library. It includes a built-in preflight script to check for and install these dependencies.

Why does the skill strip color from the charts?

ANSI color codes often render as garbled text in web-based Markdown viewers. Stripping them ensures the visualization is clean and accessible everywhere.

Does this skill require external image hosting?

No, it generates pure ASCII text that renders directly within Markdown code blocks, making it portable and lightweight.

Are these charts compatible with GitHub's web interface?

Yes, by using the 'dot' marker and stripping ANSI color codes, the charts maintain perfect alignment and readability on GitHub.

Can I customize the dimensions of the chart?

Yes, while it defaults to a 65x22 size optimized for 80-column blocks, the dimensions can be modified in the generated Python rendering script.
