Create pixel art icons in the Susan Kare / classic Macintosh tradition. The disciplined aesthetic is locked (that's what makes it work)—you choose only mood and accent color.
Generate icons from anything: a word, a feature description, or a whole document. Every icon shares the same visual DNA: bitmap raster style, 32x32 grid discipline, silhouette-first design. The constraint is the point—it forces clarity.
## Skills
This skill depends on the following skills. Use these if needed.
**AI Image Studio**
When: Needed for AI image generation of icons
Follow the instructions in: `skills/sauna/media.icons.retro/references/skills/media.image.generator/SKILL.md`
## Tasks
These are tasks you can execute. Read the task file to get your instructions:
**Setup Icon Style Guide**
When: User wants to establish or modify their icon style guide
Follow the instructions in: `skills/sauna/media.icons.retro/references/recipes/media.iconography.setup.md`
**Create Icon**
When: User wants to generate an icon using their established style
Follow the instructions in: `skills/sauna/media.icons.retro/references/recipes/media.iconography.create.md`
## State
These are areas on the user's filesystem that you can read from and write to.
**Projects**
When: Check existing style constants before operations
Use this directory: `documents/work/projects/**/*.md`
Usage Guide: Project and product workspace. Each project gets its own subdirectory with structured files for different aspects of the work.
## Directory Structure work/projects/{project-name}/
context.md - Product vision, target users, competitors, pricing
brand.md - Brand guidelines, colors, typography, voice
roadmap.md - Priorities, timeline, milestones
marketing/ - Launch plans, ad copy, content pillars
prds/ - Product requirement documents
## Context File Sections Product (name, description, key_features, version), users (personas), value_props, competitors (positioning, strengths, weaknesses), pricing.
## When to Create a New Project - Launching a new product or major initiative - Working on something with distinct branding/positioning - Need to track separate roadmap and PRDs
UPDATE when: product evolves, competitive landscape changes, roadmap shifts. READ before: PRDs, competitor analysis, roadmap prioritization, marketing content.
Use {project-name}/context.md for the main product information. Brainstorm sessions and analysis outputs also save here.
