# Recommended icons for Sci-Fi Clean

Icons render only via the sprite system:
`<svg><use href="/icons/<pack>.svg#<name>"/></svg>`. Block content stores refs
as `"pack:name"` strings (e.g. `lucide:mail`).

## Required packs

Declared in `plugin.mod` `required_icon_packs` and `manifest.yaml`
`required_icon_packs`. Until the loader auto-installs, install these manually
before activation:

| Pack           | Slug           | Why                                                        |
|----------------|----------------|------------------------------------------------------------|
| Lucide         | `lucide`       | Default UI icon set: nav toggle, arrows, mail, phone, home. |
| Simple Icons   | `simple-icons` | Brand marks in social links and the author bio hero (X, LinkedIn, GitHub). |

Both are among the six packs that ship bundled with the CMS, so no download is
usually needed. If a pack is missing on a fresh instance, open **Admin ->
Icons**, install Lucide and Simple Icons, and enable them.

## Defaults are safe

Every block that renders an icon defaults to a `lucide:` glyph, so the theme
renders correctly even if Simple Icons is not yet installed (brand links simply
fall back to text/label until the pack is present).
