 Mint is a local-first AI assistant running on your machine, capable of handling tasks via either the desktop application or the terminal interface (CLI):
 
 ---
 
-### 1. 🤖 AI Chat & Multi-Providers
+### 1. <img src="assets/chat.svg" width="18" height="18" valign="middle" /> AI Chat & Multi-Providers
 - Connect to **Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Ollama (Local), Hugging Face**, and LM Studio.
 - Run private local LLMs inside your machine using Ollama or connect to leading cloud APIs.
 - Supports system instructions, temperature adjustments, voice replies, and image analysis (Multimodal).

-### 2. 🎨 Interactive Live2D Desktop Assistant
+### 2. <img src="assets/live2d.svg" width="18" height="18" valign="middle" /> Interactive Live2D Desktop Assistant
 - An interactive anime avatar (**Shiroko**) displayed right on your desktop with gaze tracking (eye/face follows your mouse pointer).
 - Toggle expression changes and cycle through character accessories dynamically.
 - Custom interaction zones (Head, Cheek, Hands, Body) that trigger unique animations and message toasts.

-### 3. 💻 Autonomous Code Agent
+### 3. <img src="assets/code.svg" width="18" height="18" valign="middle" /> Autonomous Code Agent
 - Run code agent loops via `/code <task>` or the terminal command `mint code agent "<task>"`.
 - Scan your project workspace, build multi-file implementation plans, fix test suite errors, and write edits automatically.
 - Run local tests, cargo checks, and shell commands.

-### 5. 🔌 Tool & MCP Integrations
+### 5. <img src="assets/tools.svg" width="18" height="18" valign="middle" /> Tool & MCP Integrations
 - Support **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** to connect tools like Google/Brave Search, Filesystem servers, and GitHub context.
 - **Auto GitHub Link Resolver:** Automatically detects GitHub URLs in chat messages (CLI, Web, and Desktop) and Code Agent tasks. It fetches and injects the repository's metadata, directory structure, and README as prompt context, serving as an instant fallback when the GitHub MCP server is not active.
 - Local plugins for Spotify playback control, Google Calendar, Gmail drafts, and Notion workspace reading.
