skill:favicon-gen – Custom Favicon Generator

Version: 1.0.0

Purpose

Generate custom favicons from logos, text/initials, or brand colors. Prevents launching with CMS defaults by producing a complete favicon set covering all platforms and devices. Supports three approaches: extracting icons from existing logos, creating monogram favicons from brand initials, or generating geometric shape favicons from brand colors. Outputs all required formats — favicon.ico (16/32/48), favicon.svg, apple-touch-icon.png (180×180), android-chrome icons (192/512), PNG fallbacks, and the web manifest JSON.

Mandatory Workflow

IMPORTANT: Execute ALL steps in order. Do not skip any step.

Step 1: Initial Analysis

  • Gather the favicon source from the user:
    • Logo file: SVG or high-res PNG to extract/simplify into an icon
    • Text/initials: Letters for a monogram favicon (e.g., “AB”, “F”)
    • Brand colors: Hex values for generating geometric shape icons
  • Determine size requirements (standard set or custom sizes)
  • Identify format preferences (all formats by default)
  • Detect project type and existing favicon configuration

Step 2: Load Memory

Follow Standard Memory Loading with skill="favicon-gen" and domain="engineering".

Step 3: Load Context

Follow Standard Context Loading for the engineering domain. Stay within the file budget declared in frontmatter.

Step 4: Determine Favicon Strategy

Based on the source input, select the generation approach:

  1. Logo extraction — Simplify an existing logo SVG for small sizes, remove fine details that break at 16×16, ensure the icon reads clearly at every target size
  2. Monogram generation — Render initials using a bold, legible font on a branded background, ensure letterforms are crisp at 16×16 and 32×32
  3. Branded shape — Create a geometric shape (circle, rounded square, shield) filled with the brand color, optionally with an embedded initial or symbol

For all approaches:

  • Define the primary color and background color
  • Choose a shape mask (square, rounded square, circle) for platform-specific variants
  • Plan the SVG source that will serve as the master from which all raster sizes are derived

Step 5: Generate Favicon Assets

Produce the complete favicon set from the master SVG:

File Size Purpose
favicon.ico 16×16, 32×32, 48×48 Legacy browser fallback (multi-size ICO)
favicon.svg Scalable Modern browsers, supports dark mode via prefers-color-scheme
favicon-16x16.png 16×16 PNG fallback for older browsers
favicon-32x32.png 32×32 Standard browser tab icon
apple-touch-icon.png 180×180 iOS home screen bookmark
android-chrome-192x192.png 192×192 Android home screen icon
android-chrome-512x512.png 512×512 Android splash screen / PWA install

For the SVG favicon:

  • Use prefers-color-scheme media query for automatic dark mode adaptation
  • Keep the SVG minimal — no embedded fonts, no external references
  • Ensure crisp rendering at small sizes with pixel-aligned paths

Step 6: Generate HTML Meta Tags

Produce the complete <head> snippet for all icon references:

<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" sizes="48x48">
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.svg" type="image/svg+xml">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">
<link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest">

Generate the site.webmanifest file:

{
  "name": "{Project Name}",
  "short_name": "{Short Name}",
  "icons": [
    { "src": "/android-chrome-192x192.png", "sizes": "192x192", "type": "image/png" },
    { "src": "/android-chrome-512x512.png", "sizes": "512x512", "type": "image/png" }
  ],
  "theme_color": "{brand-hex}",
  "background_color": "{background-hex}",
  "display": "standalone"
}

Step 7: Generate Output

  • Save output to /claudedocs/favicon-gen_{project}_{YYYY-MM-DD}.md
  • Follow naming conventions in ../OUTPUT_CONVENTIONS.md
  • Output includes:
    • Master SVG source code
    • Instructions or scripts for generating raster formats from the SVG
    • Complete HTML <head> snippet
    • site.webmanifest contents
    • File placement guide (where each file goes in the project)

Step 8: Update Memory

Follow Standard Memory Update for skill="favicon-gen". Store brand assets, generation approach, and project preferences.
