# App Icon Studio
Create Apple-platform app icons from product context, generate polished
candidates, test small-size recognition, and install valid iOS or macOS icon
assets.
## Workflow
1. Inspect product reality: README, app name, screenshots, onboarding, paywall,
core screens, audience, competitors if useful, and the target platform.
2. Write the strategy:
```text
This icon should make <target user> remember <app name> as the app for <core job/emotion>, using <simple visual metaphor>.
```
3. Generate 3-5 distinct directions with `$imagegen` unless the repo has a
native vector/logo system that should be edited directly.
4. Evaluate at practical sizes: about `60` px for iOS home-screen recognition,
and `64`, `32`, and `16` px for macOS Dock/Finder stress checks.
5. Refine one square `1024x1024` PNG master. Prefer no alpha for shared
iOS/macOS assets and App Store readiness. Avoid text, screenshots, tiny
details, and baked iOS rounded corners.
6. Locate existing assets and preserve configured names:
```bash
rg --files | rg 'Assets\.xcassets|AppIcon\.appiconset|\.icns$|Info\.plist|Contents\.json'
rg 'ASSETCATALOG_COMPILER_APPICON_NAME|CFBundleIconFile|CFBundleIconName|AppIcon'
```
7. Generate or replace the platform asset:
```bash
# iOS asset catalog
python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/generate_appiconset.py master-icon.png path/to/AppIcon.appiconset --platform ios --replace
# macOS asset catalog
python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/genera
