Usage Methods

Method 1: Search Existing Icons (Recommended)

Search from 200,000+ open source icons:

// Search icons
{
  "tool": "exec",
  "command": "python3 /root/.openclaw/skills/ppt-icon-generator/scripts/icon_search.py --query 'analytics' --limit 10"
}

// Download specific icon
{
  "tool": "exec",
  "command": "python3 /root/.openclaw/skills/ppt-icon-generator/scripts/icon_search.py --query 'chart-line' --download --output /root/.openclaw/workspace/chart.png"
}

Method 2: Generate with AI/Canvas

Use browser automation to generate icons via AI tools:

// Use Copilot/ChatGPT to generate icon
{
  "tool": "browser",
  "action": "open",
  "targetUrl": "https://copilot.microsoft.com"
}

// Prompt example:
// "Generate a minimalist icon of [DESCRIPTION], transparent background, 
//  suitable for PowerPoint, flat design style, single color"

Method 3: Create with Python (Pillow)

Generate simple geometric icons:

# Create basic shapes with transparency
python3 scripts/icon_generate.py --shape circle --color "#FF6B6B" --output icon.png

# Create text-based icon
python3 scripts/icon_generate.py --text "AI" --bg-gradient "#667eea,#764ba2" --output ai_icon.png

Best Practices

Size: Use 512x512 for flexibility, resize in PPT
Format: Always PNG with transparency
Style: Match your PPT theme (flat for modern, line for minimal)
Color: Use brand colors or neutral (#333, #666, #999)
Consistency: Use same style throughout presentation

Common PPT Icon Needs

Use Case	Recommended Query
Section headers	`title`, `heading`, `flag`
Bullet points	`check`, `dot`, `star`
Process steps	`arrow-right`, `number-1`, `timeline`
Data charts	`chart`, `graph`, `analytics`
Contact info	`email`, `phone`, `location`
Social media	`twitter`, `linkedin`, `github`

Troubleshooting

Icon not found

Try synonyms: "chart" → "graph" → "analytics"
Use broader terms: "email" instead of "gmail"

Generated icon looks wrong

Be more specific in prompt
Try different style: --style line vs --style flat
Adjust colors for better contrast

PNG has white background

Verify transparency is enabled
Use PNG format (not JPG)
Check with: python3 scripts/icon_verify.py --file icon.png
