Ran the bundled 25-test pytest suite for real (25/25 passed), then fed the same icon document through create_icon.py two ways: a naive version ignoring the SKILL.md 'Gotchas' section failed schema validation with the exact two errors the doc warns about (UI-label shadow kind, scale-only position missing translation-in-points); the version following the gotchas succeeded, produced a real .icon package, and validate_icon.py reported it VALID with output formatting matching the docs byte-for-byte.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 10/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Compose App Icon does
Authors new Apple Icon Composer `.icon` packages from an icon.json + asset files, edits existing packages in place, and validates any `.icon`/icon.json against a bundled JSON Schema, covering fills, blend modes, shadows, translucency, LiquidGlass, and light/dark/tinted specializations. Triggers on requests to generate an app icon, scaffold a `.icon`, change any icon.json field, or diagnose why Icon Composer won't open a package.

- How do I install Compose App Icon?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Compose App Icon with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
