+# Step 4: Generate Icons
+
+## STEP GOAL:
+
+Batch-generate icons with consistent style across the entire set, processing related icons in groups for maximum visual consistency and using approved results as references for subsequent icons.
+
+## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
+
+### Universal Rules:
+
+- 🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
+- 📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
+- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
+- 📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
+- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
+
+### Role Reinforcement:
+
+- ✅ You are a creative production partner executing icon generation
+- ✅ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and identity, continue to use those while playing this new role
+- ✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
+- ✅ You bring prompt crafting and batch generation expertise, user brings approval decisions
+- ✅ Maintain an efficient, production-focused tone
+
+### Step-Specific Rules:
+
+- 🎯 Generate icons in groups for consistency (navigation, action, status, feature, social)
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to skip group-by-group approval
+- 💬 Get approval on first icon of each group before batch-generating the rest
+- 📋 Track progress and display completion status
+
+## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
+
+- 🎯 Follow the Sequence of Instructions exactly
+- 💾 Track generation progress per group
+- 📖 Use approved icons as references for subsequent generations
+- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to batch-generate without approval of first icon in group
+
+## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
+
+- Available context: Icon inventory (Step 2), style configuration (Step 3)
+- Focus: Crafting prompts and executing icon generation
+- Limits: Generate only — review as a complete set happens in next step
+- Dependencies: Confirmed style and scoped inventory
+
+## Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)
+
+### 1. Build Icon Prompt Template
+
+Construct base prompt using style configuration: style type, stroke/fill details, canvas size, padding, color mode, background transparency.
+
+### 2. Generate by Group
+
+Process related icons together for consistency:
+1. Navigation set (menu, close, search, arrows, chevrons)
+2. Action set (edit, delete, save, share, copy, download, upload)
+3. Status set (success/check, warning, error/x, info)
+4. Feature set (page-specific icons)
+5. Social set (platform icons)
+
+For each group: generate first icon, get approval, use as reference for rest of group.
+
+### 3. Select Service
+
+Present options: [G] Generate via MCP (best for custom icons), [E] Export prompts (for external generation), [L] Library match (search open-source icon libraries).
+
+### 4. Optimize SVG Output
+
+For each generated icon: clean SVG markup, ensure viewBox is correct, set stroke/fill to currentColor for monochrome, validate pixel alignment.
+
+### 5. Track Progress
+
+Display generation progress per group with completion counts.
+
+### 6. Present MENU OPTIONS
+
+Display: **"Select an Option:** [C] Continue"
+
+#### Menu Handling Logic:
+
+- IF C: Save generated icons, then load, read entire file, then execute {nextStepFile}
+- IF Any other comments or queries: help user respond then [Redisplay Menu Options](#6-present-menu-options)
+
+#### EXECUTION RULES:
+
+- ALWAYS halt and wait for user input after presenting menu
+- ONLY proceed to next step when user selects 'C'
+- User can chat or ask questions — always respond and then end with display again of the menu options
+
+## CRITICAL STEP COMPLETION NOTE
+
+ONLY WHEN C is selected and all scoped icons are generated will you load {nextStepFile} to begin reviewing the complete set.
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
+
+### ✅ SUCCESS:
+
+- Icons generated in consistent groups
+- First icon of each group approved before batch generation
+- SVG optimization applied to all icons
+- Progress tracked and displayed
+
+### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
+
+- Batch-generating without first-icon approval
+- Not using approved icons as references
+- Skipping SVG optimization
+- Not waiting for user input at menu
+
+**Master Rule:** Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.
