ASCII Text — primitive for text reveals (react)

For AI agents: find the right skill in one call — curl -s "https://skills.varg.ai/api/search?q=<what the person wants>" returns the matching use case and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://skills.varg.ai/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add .md to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the use-case page.

A word built out of ASCII characters, rippling in waves with a chromatic colour fringe

Use ASCII Text from React Bits (https://reactbits.dev/text-animations/ascii-text, MIT + Commons Clause: fine in video). Install with npx shadcn@latest add @react-bits/ASCIIText-JS-CSS and use it as a big title or logo word for dev, gaming or retro-tech content. Set text, asciiFontSize (6–10), textColor, colors for the chromatic tint, waves, waveSpeed and scramble. Its uTime comes from performance.now in a requestAnimationFrame loop. Patch it to frame / fps, and set interactive={false}, clickRipple={false} and intro={false} (or drive the intro from the same clock).
