Web Asset Generator

Generate professional web assets from logos or text slogans, including favicons, app icons, and social media meta images.

Quick Start

When a user requests web assets:

1. Use AskUserQuestion tool to clarify needs if not specified:

   • What type of assets they need (favicons, app icons, social images, or everything)
   • Whether they have source material (logo image vs text/slogan)
   • For text-based images: color preferences

2. Check for source material:

   • If user uploaded an image: use it as the source
   • If user provides text/slogan: generate text-based images

3. Run the appropriate script(s):

   • Favicons/icons: scripts/generate_favicons.py
   • Social media images: scripts/generate_og_images.py

4. Provide the generated assets and HTML tags to the user

Using Interactive Questions

IMPORTANT: Always use the AskUserQuestion tool to gather requirements instead of plain text questions. This provides a better user experience with visual selection UI.

Why Use AskUserQuestion?

✅ Visual UI: Users see options as clickable chips/tags instead of typing responses ✅ Faster: Click to select instead of typing out answers ✅ Clearer: Descriptions explain what each option means ✅ Fewer errors: No typos or misunderstandings from free-form text ✅ Professional: Consistent with modern Claude Code experience

Example Flow

User request: "I need web assets"

Claude uses AskUserQuestion (not plain text):

What type of web assets do you need?                    [Asset type]
○ Favicons only - Browser tab icons (16x16, 32x32, 96x96) and favicon.ico
○ App icons only - PWA icons for iOS/Android (180x180, 192x192, 512x512)
○ Social images only - Open Graph images for Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, LinkedIn
● Everything - Complete package: favicons + app icons + social images

User clicks → Claude immediately knows what to generate

Question Patterns

Below are the standard question patterns to use in various scenarios. Copy the structure and adapt as needed.

Question Pattern 1: Asset Type Selection

When the user's request is vague (e.g., "create web assets", "I need icons"), use AskUserQuestion:

Question: "What type of web assets do you need?" Header: "Asset type" Options:

• "Favicons only" - Description: "Browser tab icons (16x16, 32x32, 96x96) and favicon.ico"

• "Logo image" - Description: "I have or will upload a logo/image file"
• "Emoji" - Description: "Generate favicon from an emoji character"
• "Text/slogan" - Description: "Create images from text only"

Question Pattern 6: Emoji Selection

When user selects "Emoji" as source material:

Step 1: Ask for project description (free text):

• "What is your website/app about?"
• Use this to generate emoji suggestions

Step 2: Use AskUserQuestion to present the 4 suggested emojis:

Question: "Which emoji best represents your project?" Header: "Emoji" Options: (Dynamically generated based on project description)

• Example: "🚀 Rocket" - Description: "Rocket, launch, startup, space"
• Example: "☕ Coffee" - Description: "Coffee, cafe, beverage, drink"
• Example: "💻 Laptop" - Description: "Computer, laptop, code, dev"
• Example: "🎨 Art" - Description: "Art, design, creative, paint"

Implementation:

# Get suggestions
python scripts/generate_favicons.py --suggest "coffee shop" output/ all

# Then generate with selected emoji
python scripts/generate_favicons.py --emoji "☕" output/ all

Optional: Ask about background color for app icons:

Question: "Do you want a background color for app icons?" Header: "Background" Options:

• "Transparent" - Description: "No background (favicons only)"
• "White" - Description: "White background (recommended for app icons)"

• "No, I'll do it manually" - Description: "Just show me the code, I'll add it myself"

If user selects "Yes, auto-detect":

2. Detect framework type
3. Find appropriate target file (layout.tsx, index.html, etc.)
