Description

Xcode 26 introduces a new .icon format:

Untitled.icon
├── Assets
│   └── Butterfly.svg
└── icon.json

The icon.json file looks like:

{
  "fill" : {
    "linear-gradient" : [
      "display-p3:0.36078,0.41961,0.75294,1.00000",
      "srgb:0.23137,0.24706,0.32941,1.00000"
    ]
  },
  "groups" : [
    {
      "layers" : [
        {
          "glass" : true,
          "hidden" : false,
          "image-name" : "Butterfly.svg",
          "name" : "Butterfly"
        }
      ],
      "shadow" : {
        "kind" : "neutral",
        "opacity" : 0.5
      },
      "translucency" : {
        "enabled" : true,
        "value" : 0.5
      }
    }
  ],
  "supported-platforms" : {
    "circles" : [
      "watchOS"
    ],
    "squares" : "shared"
  }
}

We should enhance commands like skip icon --background #5C6BC0-#3B3F54 symbol.svg to have the option to generate this format.

Research direction

Start by locating the implementation of the skip icon command and review how its existing background and SVG arguments are handled. Use the issue's icon.json example as the output reference; done means the command can generate the new .icon directory structure and metadata format.
