GitHub SKILL.md

What it does

Better Icons provides a unified CLI and MCP toolset to search across 200+ icon libraries (Iconify), retrieve individual SVGs, batch-download results, and run a small MCP server so AI agents can call icon search/get endpoints. It includes structured CLI commands, TypeScript interfaces for agent integrations, and examples for batch workflows.

When to use it

Use Better Icons when you need to find consistent icons for UI work, generate SVG assets programmatically, or let an AI agent embed or recommend icons into project files. It is useful during prototyping, design handoffs, and automated asset generation.

What's included

Scripts: CLI commands for search/get/batch download (no extra scripts folder in SKILL.md).
References: None listed, but TypeScript interfaces and MCP tool descriptions are included in the skill body.
Instructions: Installation options (global via npm/bun or npx/bunx), CLI usage examples, MCP server setup flags, and TypeScript interface examples for agent integration.

Compatible agents

Likely compatible with agents that can run shell CLIs and call MCP endpoints (Cursor, Claude Code, agents with shell access).

Audit Summary

Better Icons is a CLI and MCP skill for searching 200+ icon libraries via Iconify and retrieving SVGs. No bundled scripts to execute. SKILL.md is well-written with clear installation instructions, CLI examples, MCP tool table, and TypeScript interfaces. Relies on external Iconify API (api.iconify.design) which is expected for this type of tool.

Watch Out

Requires npm/bun to install the better-icons package globally
Depends on external Iconify API for icon data

Notes

Clean skill — no security concerns. External API calls are to the well-known Iconify service which is the core functionality, not suspicious. No scripts to audit. Good example of a thin wrapper skill around an existing npm package.
