## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability whatchuneed-text-banner-generator-5418d403 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you generate a stylized text banner for the phrase 'Hello World' — something bold and eye-catching that I could use in a terminal or README?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to generate ASCII or stylized text banners from a plain text string, especially for terminal displays, CLI tools, README headers, or decorative text art. Prefer this over image-generation endpoints when the output must remain in plain text format and over generic LLM calls when a structured banner-rendering pipeline is desired.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'input' field returns validation error
- Empty string input may produce blank or minimal output
- Very long input strings may be truncated or return unexpected formatting
- Service unavailability returns 402 or 5xx HTTP status
- Malformed JSON body returns 400 error

## Output
