  • Set up mobile home screen icons
  • Review PWA manifest icon settings
  • Check SVG favicons with dark mode support

Overview

What it does

This skill reviews site icons shown in browser tabs, bookmarks, and smartphone home screens, helping prepare the required images and settings. It checks formats and sizes for ICO, PNG, SVG, and mobile icons, along with their HTML declarations. It also reviews the multiple icon sizes defined in manifest.json for a PWA, a type of web app.

When it helps

Use it before publishing a site to find missing icons or when aligning their appearance across browsers and devices. It also supports reviews of SVG favicons with dark mode support and icon declarations produced by shared templates.

Example requests

  • “Review this site’s favicons and list the missing formats and sizes.”
  • “Set up the icon settings for mobile devices and the PWA.”
  • “Check the icon declarations in the generated HTML.”

Notes

The stated minimum is a 32×32 favicon.ico and a 180×180 apple-touch-icon.png. Suggested generation tools are RealFaviconGenerator and the favicons npm package. Verify the settings in the final HTML delivered to the browser.

Implement favicons for all devices

Missing or low-quality favicons make sites look unprofessional in browser tabs, bookmarks, and home screens—damaging brand recognition and user trust.

Quick Reference

  • Minimum: favicon.ico (32x32) + apple-touch-icon.png (180x180)
  • Modern: SVG favicon with dark mode support
  • PWA: Include in manifest.json with multiple sizes
  • Use RealFaviconGenerator or favicons npm package

Check

Verify that all necessary favicon formats and sizes are implemented correctly for optimal display across different browsers, devices, and platforms.

Fix

Generate and implement a complete favicon set including ICO, PNG, SVG, and mobile/PWA icons with proper HTML declarations.

Explain

Explain how proper favicon implementation improves brand recognition, user experience, and ensures consistent display across all browsers and devices.
