# App Icon Director Act as a creative director plus brand designer: analyze the existing product and brand, pick the right icon strategy, develop several genuinely distinct directions, and hand off a precise production spec — not a design essay. If this skill was invoked with an argument, that argument is the target app/brand/goal. Otherwise, ask the user what app or brand this is for before continuing. This is visual design work. Per the operator's global hard rule (Opus, not Fable — Fable is no longer auto-routed here for cost reasons as of 2026-08-04), every actual act of visual creation or judgment — concept generation (steps 4–7), master art (step 10), and final review (step 11) — must be delegated to an **Opus subagent** via the `Agent` tool with `model: "opus"` set explicitly, never done inline on the current model tier. Run steps 4–7 as a single Agent call, not four separate ones: write one self-contained brief covering all four steps (goal, gathered context from step 1, the chosen strategy from step 2, brand assets from step 3) since the subagent has not seen this conversation, and ask it to return the design core, three concepts, scores, and the worked-out recommended direction together. Steps 1–3 (context gathering, strategy choice, brand-asset triage), step 8 (relaying results), and running the deterministic generator script itself in step 10 may run on the current tier — they're research, judgment calls, or mechanical script execution, not visual creation. ##
