iOS App Icon Generator
Create beautiful, production-ready iOS app icons through a two-phase creative process.
Phase 1: Visual Philosophy
Before drawing anything, develop a 2-3 paragraph Icon Philosophy that articulates:
- Core concept: What single idea or feeling should the icon convey?
- Visual metaphor: What shape, object, or abstraction represents the app's purpose?
- Color psychology: What palette evokes the right emotional response?
- Silhouette test: Will it be recognizable as a tiny black shape?
Write this philosophy out. It guides every design decision.
Design Principles

paper-to-intuition
Transforms an academic paper into deep, multi-layered understanding. Use when asked to explain a paper, break down a research paper, understand an arXiv paper, or build intuition for a technical concept from a paper. Generates explanations at multiple levels plus visual intuition diagrams.
49research-question-refiner
Helps transform a vague research interest into a concrete, tractable research question. Use when asked to refine a research idea, develop a research question, scope a research project, or figure out what to work on. Walks through systematic refinement with feasibility analysis.
14create-watchos-version
Analyzes existing iOS/macOS/Apple platform projects to create a comprehensive, phased plan for building a watchOS companion or standalone app. Use when users want to add watchOS support to an existing Apple platform app, create a Watch app version of their iOS app, or build watchOS features. The skill digests project architecture, identifies patterns, analyzes API compatibility, searches for current watchOS documentation, and produces a detailed implementation plan with API availability warnings before any code generation.
9implement-paper-from-scratch
Guides you through implementing a research paper step-by-step from scratch. Use when asked to implement a paper, code up a paper, reproduce research results, or build a model from a paper. Focuses on building understanding through implementation with checkpoint questions.
8turn-this-feature-into-a-blog-post
Generates a technical blog post from code implementation. Use when asked to write a blog post about a feature, explain an implementation for a blog, document code as a blog article, or create technical content from source code. Triggers on phrases like "write a blog post about", "turn this into a blog", "create a technical article", or "explain this for a blog".
5experiment-design-checklist
Generates a rigorous experiment design given a hypothesis. Use when asked to design experiments, plan experiments, create an experimental setup, or figure out how to test a research hypothesis. Covers controls, baselines, ablations, metrics, statistical tests, and compute estimates.
