## What it is
A Node.js CLI tool that converts asciinema terminal recordings (asciicasts) into razor-sharp animated SVG files. It lets developers share terminal sessions in READMEs and docs without JavaScript or GIFs.

## Use cases
- convert asciinema recordings to animated svg
- embed terminal demos in github readme
- replace gif terminal recordings with svg
- render asciicast frames as svg
- share terminal sessions without javascript
- style terminal recordings with custom color profiles

## When to choose
- you want crisp, zoomable terminal recordings in markdown docs
- you need animated terminal demos that work without JS or a player
- you want to apply terminal color schemes to recorded sessions

## When to avoid
- you need an interactive terminal player rather than a static animated image
- you record video or GIF screencasts rather than asciicasts
- you need formats other than SVG output

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: cli, graphics, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, documentation
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: svg, asciinema, asciicast, terminal-recording, animation, command-line, nodejs
