## Description

Skill-icons is a developer skill badge generator that provides a centralized library of standardized vector graphics representing programming languages, frameworks, and development tools. It functions as a web asset resource for creating visual summaries of technical stacks, enabling users to embed consistent icon collections into project documentation, developer portfolios, and repository profiles.

The project utilizes a stateless, parameter-driven engine that dynamically assembles icon grids based on URL query strings. By processing these parameters, the system performs server-side composition to render custom layouts, densities, and themes on the fly. All source assets are normalized into a consistent coordinate system to ensure uniform scaling and alignment across generated images.

To support efficient delivery, the service employs a global edge-caching network that minimizes latency for rendered content. The repository provides comprehensive documentation on the available URL parameters required to configure and generate these visual grids.
