# Find and export SVG icons across icon libraries for UI work

Use Better Icons when an agent needs to search icon sets, compare matches, and return the exact SVG asset needed for a UI task. It is a narrow asset-selection skill, not a generic icon platform listing.

## Prerequisites

better-icons, Node.js

## Installation

Choose whichever fits your setup:

1. Copy this skill folder into your local skills directory.
2. Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace.
3. Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally.
4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.
5. Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection.

Install command or upstream instructions:

```
Install from npm with npm install -g better-icons or run via npx, then use the documented search and get commands to find icons and export raw SVG or JSON.
```
