icon-system-builder

icon-system-builder is a skill for Claude Code from jrpease/throughline. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,839 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for building a reusable icon library in Figma. It creates a page named Icons with scalable, clearly named icon components that other components can reuse and swap.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for importing and componentizing icon sets such as Lucide so they are ready for use in Figma components.
Why use it?
It avoids manually drawing a large icon collection one icon at a time and reduces the work of finding, naming, and preparing icons.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

icon-system-builder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 277 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Icon system builder

End state: a Figma page named Icons containing the relevant icon set as scalable, well-named components, ready to be consumed by components (skill 4) and swapped via instance properties.

Core principle: don't make the agent draw 1,700 icons

The expensive, wrong path is the agent generating icon components one by one, by hand, via the write mechanism — slow and token-hungry. Get to the end state via the cheapest mechanism that is also fully automated and produces clean, well-named components. "Cheapest" is not just the agent tokens: a mechanism that burns near-zero tokens but makes the user hunt down a community file, duplicate it, and copy components by hand isn't actually cheap — it just moves the cost onto them. The library determines the mechanism, deterministically — same library, same path every run.

Lucide → fetch the official SVGs directly (default)

Default for Lucide: fetch the curated subset straight from the official source repo and batch-componentize it. Lucide publishes every icon as a uniform 24px SVG at a deterministic path (github.com/lucide-icons/lucide, icons/<name>.svg), and the filename is the canonical name (arrow-rightArrowRight in lucide-react). So the agent can do the whole thing hands-off:

  1. Resolve the subset to kebab-case icon names (see name validation below) and pin a release tag — ideally the tag matching the installed lucide-react version, so the Figma mirror and the code package are the same generation.
  2. Batch-fetch each https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lucide-icons/lucide/<tag>/icons/<name>.svg. A 404 means that icon doesn't exist at that version — report it and let the user pick a replacement. (This is the name-validation gate, for free.)
  3. In one scripted pass, turn each SVG into a component via figma.createNodeFromSvg(svg), convert to a component, name it per the naming contract (Step 3), and set the base size.

This is fully automated, official source-of-truth, deterministic-named, and needs no manual user steps — strictly better than a community-file copy for a library shaped like this. This is not the old "fetch SVGs off a website and hand-prep them" anti-pattern: that meant a human manually downloading and cleaning files. Batch-grabbing the official repo by deterministic path and scripting createNodeFromSvg is cheap and hands-off.

icon-system-builder is a skill published in the GitHub repository jrpease/throughline (76 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,839 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
