## Prompt (replace [TEXT] with your text)

```text
Animate a modern terminal session that ends with [TEXT] as a giant block-character banner. A charcoal window with rounded corners floats over a deep indigo backdrop; monospaced text, a cyan path and magenta arrow prompt. Type a command with an uneven human rhythm, then print a few lines with green check marks and dim millisecond timings, plus a progress bar made of block characters that fills while a small spinner turns. Type a second short command; the output prints [TEXT] in huge letters built from square block characters, colored with a horizontal magenta-to-violet-to-cyan gradient and an offset dark shadow. A block cursor blinks on the next prompt; after a pause, type "clear", wipe the screen and start over.
```

## Visual DNA

- Monospaced type on a charcoal window with a colored prompt
- Uneven human typing rhythm with a solid cursor that blinks when idle
- Green check marks, dim timings and a block progress bar with spinner
- Hero banner built from half-block characters with a magenta-to-cyan gradient
- Offset drop shadow under the banner, clear-screen reset to loop

The prompts are free to copy, adapt and use in personal and commercial projects, with no credit required. Republishing the collection or a substantial part of it (for example as another library or a dataset) requires written permission.
