# ASCII Art Patch Documentation

## Overview

This patch temporarily modifies the installed `@google/gemini-cli` package to display WordLift branding instead of the default Gemini CLI ASCII art.

## Why This Patch Exists

The patch exists because [PR #2829](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/pull/2829) for custom ASCII art configuration is still open and not merged into the official Gemini CLI.

## Commands

```bash
npm run patch-ascii    # Apply WordLift branding
npm run unpatch-ascii  # Restore original
```

## How It Works

1. Locates the installed `@google/gemini-cli` package
2. Backs up the original `AsciiArt.js` file
3. Replaces the ASCII art with WordLift branding
4. Can be restored using the backup file

## Removal Plan

When PR #2829 is merged and released:
1. Run `npm run unpatch-ascii`
2. Remove patch system from WordLift CLI
3. Use native configuration options

## Files Modified

- `node_modules/@google/gemini-cli/dist/src/ui/components/AsciiArt.js`
- Creates backup: `AsciiArt.js.wordlift-backup`
