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
- Compute per-column widths:
min(maxColWidth, max(contentWidth))
- Handle overflow:
- ellipsis: use
... consistently
- wrap: wrap within column width while keeping row alignment
- Output two variants:
- compact: minimal or fewer separators
- readable: clearer borders
Script
scripts/render_table.py: render tables from JSON stdin (compact/readable)
Examples
Quality checklist
- Columns align consistently; each line does not exceed maxWidth
- Null values are rendered as
-
- Copy/paste safe (no trailing spaces)
Keywords
English: ascii-table-renderer, ascii table, align, columns, rows, truncate, wrap, terminal, log

常见陷阱 (Gotchas)
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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。
