yanse-terminal-colors

Use yanse for terminal color styling instead of chalk.

When to Apply

Use this skill when adding colors to CLI output or terminal logs.

Overview

yanse is a chalk-compatible terminal color library with zero dependencies. It exists because chalk v5+ is ESM-only, which causes issues in CommonJS projects.

The API is identical to chalk - if you know chalk, you know yanse.

Anti-Pattern

// Do not use chalk
import chalk from 'chalk';
