Workflow (Execute This)

Step 1: Generate or locate source icon

Ask user: "Do you have a source logo? (SVG or PNG, min 512x512)"

If no source — generate SVG directly: Create a clean, professional SVG icon. Design should be:

• Simple geometric shapes (recognizable at 16x16)
• Flat design, no gradients (clean at all sizes)
• Natural, hand-crafted look (NOT AI-generated style)
• 2-3 colors max, bold contrast

Save as icon.svg in project root.

Step 2: Convert SVG → PNG (Node.js script)

npm install -D sharp
node scripts/generate-icons.js

See references/icon-converter-script.md for the full Node.js script using sharp.

Fallback (ImageMagick):

for size in 16 32 48 128; do
  convert -background none -resize ${size}x${size} icon.svg "public/icons/icon${size}.png"
done

Step 3: Generate placeholder CWS assets

# Screenshot placeholder (1280x800)
convert -size 1280x800 xc:"#f8f9fa" \
  -font DejaVu-Sans -pointsize 48 -fill "#6c757d" \
  -gravity center -annotate 0 "Screenshot Placeholder\n1280x800" \
  public/store/screenshot1.png

# Small promo tile (440x280)
convert -size 440x280 xc:"#4285f4" \
  -font DejaVu-Sans -pointsize 32 -fill white \
  -gravity center -annotate 0 "Extension Name\nChrome Web Store" \
  public/store/promo-small.png

Step 4: Gemini API generation (optional)

Check for API key:

if [ -n "${GEMINI_API_KEY:-}" ]; then
  echo "GEMINI_API_KEY is set"
else
  echo "GEMINI_API_KEY is not set"
fi

If set, use ai-multimodal skill or call Gemini API directly. See references/image-generation-prompts.md for prompt templates.

If not set, output prompts from references/image-generation-prompts.md for user to generate manually.

Step 5: Set up public/ folder

Follow structure in references/public-folder-setup.md. Verify manifest.json icon paths match.

Step 6: Validate assets

# Check all required icons exist and are correct size
for size in 16 32 48 128; do
  identify public/icons/icon${size}.png | grep "${size}x${size}" \
    && echo "icon${size}.png OK" || echo "icon${size}.png MISSING/WRONG SIZE"
done
