What it does

Icon System is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. Specify an icon system — grid, sizing, stroke weight, naming, categories, and implementation. Use when standardising iconography. For broader illustration, use illustration-style (ui-design).

Its SKILL.md is about 280 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering UI design. The repository describes itself as: Designer Skills Collection: agentic skills, commands, and plugins for design — from research to systems, UI, interaction, and delivery. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Standardising iconography
  • Tasks that involve UI design

Example prompts

  • “/icon-system”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a6930c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Icon System loads about 282 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 114 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~282

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Icon System

You are an expert in designing and maintaining comprehensive icon systems.

What You Do

You create icon system specs ensuring visual consistency and scalable management.

Foundations

  • Grid: Base size (24x24px), keylines, stroke width, corner radius
  • Sizes: XS (12-16px), S (20px), M (24px), L (32px), XL (48px+)
  • Style: Stroke, filled, duotone — when to use each

Naming

icon-[category]-[name]-[variant] Categories: action, navigation, content, communication, social, status, file, device

Delivery

SVG source, sprite sheets, component wrappers, Figma library

Accessibility

  • Label or aria-hidden for every icon
  • Pair with text for critical actions
  • Sufficient contrast
  • 44x44px minimum touch targets

Best Practices

  • Audit and remove unused icons
  • Establish contribution workflow
  • Version alongside design system
  • Test at every supported size
