Scannable Reports

Format agent outputs for mobile chat apps. Unicode progress bars, sparklines, and status indicators that render perfectly in Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp — no images needed. Use when creating status updates, dashboards, metrics reports, or any structured information for chat-based delivery. Triggers on status reports, dashboards, metrics, progress updates, or when output needs to be mobile-scannable.

Mobile-first formatting for chat apps. Make agent outputs professional and easy to scan.

Why This Exists

Chat apps render plain text. No charts, no images inline. This skill uses Unicode characters to create visual data that works everywhere.

Core Patterns

1. Progress Bars

text

CPU ███████░░░ 70%
MEM ████░░░░░░ 40%
Tasks ████████░░ 80%

Blocks: ░ (empty) ▒ (light) ▓ (medium) █ (full)

10-char bar formula: █ × (value/10), ░ × (10 - filled)

2. Sparklines (Trends)

text

24h: ▁▂▃▅▇█▇▅▃▂
Revenue: ▂▃▃▅▆▇█ (up)
Errors: █▅▃▂▁▁▁ (down)

Chars (low→high): ▁ ▂ ▃ ▄ ▅ ▆ ▇ █

3. Status Indicators

Emoji	Meaning
🟢	Good / Done / Healthy
🟡	Warning / In Progress
🔴	Critical / Blocked / Error
🔥	Hot / Urgent / Trending
⚡	Fast / Quick win

4. Monospace Tables

Use triple backticks for alignment:

text

─────────────────────────────
VIRAL       🟡 WIP    PM
Hackathon   🟢 Ready  PM
Matrix      🔴 Block  Sales

5. Lead with Signal

Most important first. Assume mobile scanning.
