Kendo UI for Angular — Icon Assistant

Progressive Disclosure

This skill owns the full icon lookup policy. Do not read additional reference files for icons. Make one kendo_icon_assistant call that covers all requested icon slots in the current request or follow-up notes. Set limit based on slot count: 1-3 slots -> 0.3, 4-8 slots -> 0.5, 9+ slots -> 1.0.

Calling the Icon Assistant

Use the kendo_icon_assistant MCP tool to search for icons by name, purpose, or keyword.

Tool call:

kendo_icon_assistant({
    query="<Description of the icon purpose or keyword>",
    limit=0.3  // Adjust based on expected count: 0.1 for ~1 icon, 0.3 for a few icons, 1.0 for many
})

Examples:

kendo_icon_assistant({
    query="save document",
    limit=0.3
})

kendo_icon_assistant({
    query="user profile avatar account",
    limit=0.3
})

kendo_icon_assistant({
    query="navigation arrow chevron",
    limit=0.5
})

Using Icons in Angular

Prioritize SVG icons over font icons.

SVG Icons (Recommended)

Ensure the required packages are installed:

npm install @progress/kendo-svg-icons @progress/kendo-angular-icons

Use the kendo-svg-icon component with KENDO_ICONS from @progress/kendo-angular-icons:

import { Component } from "@angular/core";
import { KENDO_ICONS } from "@progress/kendo-angular-icons";
import { paperclipIcon } from "@progress/kendo-svg-icons";

@Component({
  selector: "my-app",
  standalone: true,
  imports: [KENDO_ICONS],
  template: `
    <kendo-svg-icon [icon]="icons.paperclip"></kendo-svg-icon>
  `,
})
export class AppComponent {
  public icons = { paperclip: paperclipIcon };
}

You can also call kendo_component_assistant for the SVGIcon component to get full API reference and docs:

kendo_component_assistant({
    query="How to use the SVGIcon component with custom icons and size options?",
    component="SVGIcon"
})

Font Icons (Fallback)

If SVG is not an option, use font icons. Add the font icon stylesheet to index.html:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/@progress/kendo-font-icons/dist/index.css" />

import { Component } from "@angular/core";
import { KENDO_ICONS } from "@progress/kendo-angular-icons";

@Component({
  selector: "my-app",
  standalone: true,
  imports: [KENDO_ICONS],
  template: `
    <kendo-icon name="paperclip"></kendo-icon>
  `,
})
export class AppComponent {}

Call kendo_component_assistant for the Icon component to get full API reference and docs:

kendo_component_assistant({
    query="How to use the Icon component with font icons?",
    component="Icon"
})
