What

Icons for Nika — the open workflow language for AI (nika: v1 YAML files run by an AGPL Rust engine · spec · VS Code extension, also on OpenVSX for Cursor/Windsurf/VSCodium).

  • nika.svg — file icon for *.nika.yaml / *.nika.yml (the extension's language id ships a language icon, but Material renders its own set — this brings the butterfly mark to Material users). Blue 200 strokes.
  • folder-nika.svg — folder icon for .nika/ (the engine's flight-recorder home: every run journals its trace under .nika/traces/). Folder Blue 700 + motive Blue 100, id="folder"/id="motive" per CONTRIBUTING; the open variant generates cleanly (verified with generateOpenFolderIcons locally).

Checks run locally

  • check-colors ✅ (Material palette only, no black/white)
  • biome check ✅ on both association files
  • generateOpenFolders ✅ consumed folder-nika.svg (271 generated, including folder-nika-open)
  • run check reports only the pre-existing base-icon misses of a fresh clone (file.svg/folder.svg/folder-root* — identical on pristine main); zero nika-related findings.

File association uses fileExtensions: ['nika.yaml', 'nika.yml'] (the double-extension pattern), folder association folderNames: ['nika'] following the dotless convention (github.github).

…stream PR (#23)

Two honesty rows from the deep-e2e pass. icons/README's vendored table
missed src/webview/verbGlyphs.ts (the 4 verb glyphs as path data —
keycap · cmdk · palette · synced from the icon ontology). contrib/README
said « until the upstream icons land » with nothing to track — it now
links material-extensions/vscode-material-icon-theme#3529 (in review),
so the interim-snippet section retires itself the day it merges.

Updated: the icons now carry Nika's official butterfly-supernova mark (the same artwork as nika.sh and the marketplace extension tile) instead of the earlier simplified glyph — brand-accurate for users who know the project. Palette unchanged (Blue 200 file · Blue 700/100 folder), check-colors clean, generateOpenFolderIcons consumed the new motive.
