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:
-
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
-
Check for source material:
- If user uploaded an image: use it as the source
- If user provides text/slogan: generate text-based images
-
Run the appropriate script(s):
- Favicons/icons:
scripts/generate_favicons.py
- Social media images:
scripts/generate_og_images.py
-
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
