Use this skill when the user needs Generate favicons from a source image and the operator should preserve the upstream workflow, copied support files, and provenance before merging or handing off." version: "0.0.1" category: cli-automation tags: ["favicon", "generate", "favicons", "image", "cli-automation"] complexity: advanced risk: caution tools: ["codex-cli", "claude-code", "cursor", "gemini-cli", "opencode"] source: community author: "Shpigford" date_added: "2026-04-14" date_updated: "2026-04-25" --- # favicon ## Overview This public intake copy packages `plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/favicon` from `https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills` into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin. Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow. This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the `external_source` block in `metadata.json` plus `ORIGIN.md` as the provenance anchor for review. Generate a complete set of favicons from the source image at $1 and update the project's HTML with the appropriate link tags. Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Prerequisites, Error Handling, Limitations. ## When to Use This Skill Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request. - You need to generate a complete favicon set from a single source image. - The task includes placing the assets in the correct framework-specific static directory and updating HTML link tags. - You want one workflow that validates the source image, detects the project type, and writes the right favicon outputs. - Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Generate favicons from a source image. - Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch. - Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet. ## Operating Table | Situation | Start here | Why it matters | | --- | --- | --- | | First-time use | `metadata.json` | Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path through the `external_source` block before touching the copied workflow | | Provenance review | `ORIGIN.md` | Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source | | Workflow execution | `SKILL.md` | Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution | | Supporting context | `SKILL.md` | Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package | | Handoff decision | `## Related Skills` | Helps the operator switch to a stronger native skill when the task drifts | ## Workflow This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow. 1.

Verify the source image exists at the provided path: `$1` 2. Check the file extension is a supported format (PNG, JPG, JPEG, SVG, WEBP, GIF) 3. If the file doesn't exist or isn't a valid image format, report the error and stop Note whether the source is an SVG file - if so, it will also be copied as `favicon.svg`. #### Imported: Step 2: Detect Project Type and Static Assets Directory Detect the project type and determine where static assets should be placed. Check in this order: | Framework | Detection | Static Assets Directory | |-----------|-----------|------------------------| | **Rails** | `config/routes.rb` exists | `public/` | | **Next.js** | `next.config.*` exists | `public/` | | **Gatsby** | `gatsby-config.*` exists | `static/` | | **SvelteKit** | `svelte.config.*` exists | `static/` | | **Astro** | `astro.config.*` exists | `public/` | | **Hugo** | `hugo.toml` or `config.toml` with Hugo markers | `static/` | | **Jekyll** | `_config.yml` with Jekyll markers | Root directory (same as `index.html`) | | **Vite** | `vite.config.*` exists | `public/` | | **Create React App** | `package.json` has `react-scripts` dependency | `public/` | | **Vue CLI** | `vue.config.*` exists | `public/` | | **Angular** | `angular.json` exists | `src/assets/` | | **Eleventy** | `.eleventy.js` or `eleventy.config.*` exists | Check `_site` output or root | | **Static HTML** | `index.html` in root | Same directory as `index.html` | **Important**: If existing favicon files are found (e.g., `favicon.ico`, `apple-touch-icon.png`), use their location as the target directory regardless of framework detection. Report the detected project type and the static assets directory that will be used. **When in doubt, ask**: If you are not 100% confident about where static assets should be placed (e.g., ambiguous project structure, multiple potential locations, unfamiliar framework), use `AskUserQuestionTool` to confirm the target directory before proceeding. It's better to ask than to put files in the wrong place. #### Imported: Step 3: Determine App Name Find the app name from these sources (in priority order): 1. **Existing `site.webmanifest`** - Check the detected static assets directory for an existing manifest and extract the `name` field 2. **`package.json`** - Extract the `name` field if it exists 3. **Rails `config/application.rb`** - Extract the module name (e.g., `module MyApp` → "MyApp") 4. **Directory name** - Use the current working directory name as fallback Convert the name to title case if needed (e.g., "my-app" → "My App"). #### Imported: Step 4: Ensure Static Assets Directory Exists Check if the detected static assets directory exists. If not, create it. #### Imported: Step 5: Generate Favicon Files Run these ImageMagick commands to generate all favicon files. Replace `[STATIC_DIR]` with the detected static assets directory from Step 2. **Important**: The `-background none` flag must come BEFORE the input file to properly preserve transparency when rendering SVGs. Placing it after the input will result in a white background. ### favicon.ico (multi-resolution: 16x16, 32x32, 48x48) ```bash magick -background none "$1" \ \( -clone 0 -resize 16x16 \) \ \( -clone 0 -resize 32x32 \) \ \( -clone 0 -resize 48x48 \) \ -delete 0 -alpha on \ [STATIC_DIR]/favicon.ico ``` ### favicon-96x96.png ```bash magick -background none "$1" -resize 96x96 -alpha on [STATIC_DIR]/favicon-96x96.png ``` ### apple-touch-icon.png (180x180) ```bash magick -background none "$1" -resize 180x180 -alpha on [STATIC_DIR]/apple-touch-icon.png ``` ### web-app-manifest-192x192.png ```bash magick -background none "$1" -resize 192x192 -alpha on [STATIC_DIR]/web-app-manifest-192x192.png ``` ### web-app-manifest-512x512.png ```bash magick -background none "$1" -resize 512x512 -alpha on [STATIC_DIR]/web-app-manifest-512x512.png ``` ### favicon.svg (only if source is SVG) If the source file has a `.svg` extension, copy it: ```bash cp "$1" [STATIC_DIR]/favicon.svg ``` #### Imported: Step 6: Create/Update site.webmanifest Create or update `[STATIC_DIR]/site.webmanifest` with this content (substitute the detected app name): ```json { "name": "[APP_NAME]", "short_name": "[APP_NAME]", "icons": [ { "src": "/web-app-manifest-192x192.png", "sizes": "192x192", "type": "image/png", "purpose": "maskable" }, { "src": "/web-app-manifest-512x512.png", "sizes": "512x512", "type": "image/png", "purpose": "maskable" } ], "theme_color": "#ffffff", "background_color": "#ffffff", "display": "standalone" } ``` If `site.webmanifest` already exists in the static directory, preserve the existing `theme_color`, `background_color`, and `display` values while updating the `name`, `short_name`, and `icons` array. #### Imported: Step 7: Update HTML/Layout Files Based on the detected project type, update the appropriate file. Adjust the `href` paths based on where the static assets directory is relative to the web root: - If static files are in `public/` or `static/` and served from root → use `/favicon.ico` - If static files are in `src/assets/` → use `/assets/favicon.ico` - If static files are in the same directory as HTML → use `./favicon.ico` or just `favicon.ico` ### For Rails Projects Edit `app/views/layouts/application.html.erb`. Find the `
` section and add/replace favicon-related tags with: ```html ``` **Important**: - If the source was NOT an SVG, omit the `` line - Remove any existing `` section, after `` and `` if present ### For Next.js Projects Edit the detected layout file (`app/layout.tsx` or `src/app/layout.tsx`). Update or add the `metadata` export to include icons configuration: ```typescript export const metadata: Metadata = { // ... keep existing metadata fields icons: { icon: [ { url: '/favicon.ico' }, { url: '/favicon-96x96.png', sizes: '96x96', type: 'image/png' }, { url: '/favicon.svg', type: 'image/svg+xml' }, ], shortcut: '/favicon.ico', apple: '/apple-touch-icon.png', }, manifest: '/site.webmanifest', appleWebApp: { title: '[APP_NAME]', }, }; ``` **Important**: - If the source was NOT an SVG, omit the `{ url: '/favicon.svg', type: 'image/svg+xml' }` entry from the icon array - If metadata export doesn't exist, create it with just the icons-related fields - If metadata export exists, merge the icons configuration with existing fields ### For Static HTML Projects Edit the detected `index.html` file. Add the same HTML as Rails within the `` section. ### If No Project Detected Skip HTML updates and inform the user they need to manually add the following to their HTML ``: ```html ``` #### Imported: Step 8: Summary Report completion with: - Detected project type and framework - Static assets directory used - List of files generated - App name used in manifest and HTML - Layout file updated (or note if manual update is needed) - Note if any existing files were overwritten #### Imported: Prerequisites First, verify ImageMagick v7+ is installed by running: ```bash which magick ``` If not found, stop and instruct the user to install it: - **macOS**: `brew install imagemagick` - **Linux**: `sudo apt install imagemagick` ## Examples ### Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly ```text Use @favicon to handle
