What it does
A Claude Code skill that builds tilt-shift ASCII miniatures: a small Three.js world whose every pixel is redrawn as a coloured text character, with grass that sways, foamy water and a slow camera sweep, running live and looping in the browser.
ascii-diorama teaches your agent to build a small 3D world in Three.js and then redraw every part of it as coloured monospace characters: grass as leaning strokes that move with the wind, water as tildes with foam,…

Step by step
Open the GitHub repo and read what the starter scene contains.
Install it with git clone https://github.com/JDhruv14/ascii-diorama ~/.claude/skills/ascii-diorama, then run npm i three esbuild in your project.
Ask Claude Code for a scene, e.g. an ASCII diorama of a fishing harbour at dusk, or run /ascii-diorama.
Open the live preview at http://127.0.0.1:5173/, reload after each change, and record the screen when you like the loop.
Watch out for
It makes a live browser scene, not a video file: record it yourself for social posts. Heavy scenes can be slow on older laptops. Check the licences of any extra textures or models you add (the starter ones are listed in the README).

Stageshow: polished product UI stills and animations from your agent

SKILL
teardown: any machine as a 3D simulator you can take apart
A Claude Code skill that answers "how does this work?" by building the machine as one offline 3D page: it runs in the middle, panels read its live numbers, buttons open the part doing the work, and one click blows it apart. It can also record a short tour video of it.
