glyph
Render an answer as ASCII art plus semantic emojis inline, right now, with no setup questions: one render per reply, up to about 50 lines, verdict first. Use for any answer with shape: status, inventories, audits, budgets, comparisons, rankings, pipelines, 'what is using X', or any ad-hoc 'show me X visually' ask. Not for definitions, conceptual explanations, or one-sentence and one-paragraph asks; those have no shape to draw. For a full multi-artifact plan playground, use visualize-plan instead.

What this skill does
Glyph Render the answer as ASCII art plus semantic emojis, inline, immediately. All output renders in a monospace terminal with no external tools. Core principle: Encode information into structure, not decoration. Every diagram element should communicate something meaningful. Execution (run this, do not ask first) A human asking "how do I use this" gets a URL, not a paraphrase: https://orchestkit.yonyon.ai/docs/reference/skills/glyph#examples (what it draws, the two picks, three real renders, the exact invocation; generated from this skill's examples/featured.md, so it cannot drift from the skill). The whole point is speed, so there is no setup phase. With no argument, the topic is the current conversation. Measured over a real 13-prompt session: zero asks supplied a self-contained topic, and the one direct invocation passed nothing at all. glyph on its own means "render where we are right now": the open work, the decision just reached, the state of the thing being discussed. Render that; do not ask what to draw. Given a topic (or the conversation, when none is given): 1. Render immediately. Do NOT call AskUserQuestion to pick a format, do NOT call TaskCreate, do NOT spawn an Agent. Choose the form yourself from the topic shape and draw it. Asking first defeats the skill. 2. Pick the form from the shape of the data, using the pattern library below: Topic shape Form --- --- inventory, audit, budget, "what is using X" inventory render (templates/inventory.md): header meter, traffic-light sections, icon / label / bar / value / action rows, totals, arithmetic summary, caveats state / progress / health status box + bar meters A vs B, options, trade-offs comparison table or side-by-side boxes (one narrow table in a non-TTY surface) steps, pipeline, hand-offs left-to-right flow with ──▶ containment, layers, layout nested boxes / tree ranked list, scores, counts table + bar meters over time sparkline or milestone track 3. Emit inline in the reply. …
