SHORT DESCRIPTION
    Discover and display ANSI colorscripts in PowerShell.
 
LONG DESCRIPTION
    ColorScripts-Enhanced is a cross-platform PowerShell module containing 3156
    colorscripts. It supports Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7.x on
    Windows, macOS, and Linux.
 
    Most colorscripts are static and execute directly. Output caching is limited
    to the 15 expensive renderers selected by CachePolicy.psd1. Intentionally
    live renderers remain uncached when reuse would change their behavior.
 
BASIC USAGE
    Import-Module ColorScripts-Enhanced
    Show-ColorScript
    Show-ColorScript -Name bars
    Get-ColorScriptList -Category Patterns
 
    Pokemon-themed scripts are excluded from random selection by default. Use
    -IncludePokemon to opt in. A directly requested Pokemon script still works.
 
COMMANDS
    Show-ColorScript
        Displays a random or named colorscript. Alias: scs.
 
    Get-ColorScriptList
        Queries scripts by name, category, or tag.
 
    New-ColorScriptCache
        Builds caches for policy-selected renderers only.
 
    Clear-ColorScriptCache
        Removes named cache entries or all module cache data.
 
    Add-ColorScriptProfile
        Adds an idempotent module startup block to a PowerShell profile.
 
    Get-ColorScriptConfiguration, Set-ColorScriptConfiguration,
    Reset-ColorScriptConfiguration
        Read, persist, or reset module configuration.
 
    Export-ColorScriptMetadata
        Exports catalog, file, and optional cache metadata.
 
    New-ColorScript
        Creates a UTF-8 colorscript scaffold and metadata guidance.
 
CACHE AND CONFIGURATION
    New-ColorScriptCache -All
    New-ColorScriptCache -Name Galaxy
    Clear-ColorScriptCache -All
    Get-ColorScriptConfiguration
 
    Query Get-ColorScriptConfiguration for the effective cache path. Set
    COLOR_SCRIPTS_ENHANCED_CONFIG_ROOT before importing the module to relocate
    persistent configuration.
 
HELP AND VERSION
    Every exported command accepts -h (alias -help) for concise help. Use:
 
    Get-Help Show-ColorScript -Full
    Get-Help Show-ColorScript -Examples
    Get-Module ColorScripts-Enhanced | Select-Object Version
 
    The module manifest is the authoritative version source.
 
ENCODING AND PROVENANCE
    Generated PowerShell scripts use UTF-8. Traditional source .ANS files often
    use CP437 and must be decoded accordingly. Third-party art retains its
    original authorship and source terms.
