## What it is
hr is a tiny POSIX shell utility that prints a horizontal ruler line of characters across the terminal width, with customizable characters and multi-line ASCII patterns. It helps visually separate sections of terminal output when debugging or reading logs.

## Use cases
- draw a horizontal separator line in the terminal
- visually separate log output when debugging
- print custom ASCII pattern dividers in shell scripts
- find your place in a cluttered terminal window

## When to choose
- you want a zero-dependency shell script to add visual separators to terminal output
- you need a lightweight utility that works on any POSIX shell environment

## When to avoid
- you need rich terminal formatting, colors, or progress bars rather than simple separator lines
- you want a cross-platform tool that runs natively on Windows without a POSIX shell

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: stable
- function: cli, terminal-ui, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: shell, posix-shell, terminal-utility, ascii-art, visual-separator, command-line, linux, macos
