What this skill does

Better Icons Search and retrieve icons from 200+ libraries via Iconify. Installation Before using any better-icons commands, ensure the tool is available in the environment. Option 1 — Install globally (recommended, matches all examples below): Option 2 — Run without installing (prefix every command with npx or bunx): For AI agents: Prefer the global install so that better-icons is on $PATH and the commands below work as-is. Run the install step once during environment setup, then use the commands without npx/bunx.
