Here are my options/ideas

1. Something similar to what is used for ci folder, for example just reuse it with a different color

https://github.com/material-extensions/vscode-material-icon-theme/blob/main/icons/folder-ci.svg

2. A bolt icon

3. Arrows around a gear

4. A play icon

5. A double play in a circle

[gameroman]

The first option would be the easiest to implement, but I don't know which of the options would be the best for this folder

@PKief what's your opinion on this?

[PKief]

Not sure tbh. Actions can be used in different contexts. Have you ever used actions in redux (react)? Super popular. Then we have actions in GitHub known as cicd workflows. And a totally different context is having actions as a feature folder where you simply add some files which are considered as action files but not related to cicd. I feel it's a little bit difficult to give a good icon here which fits all use cases

I can see there are Icon Packs

Would it be posssible and make sense to create an Astro pack and create an icon that would apply to only Astro and NextJS icon packs?

Or I could try to come up with a generic actions icon that would make sense in any context and would apply to all actions folders

[PKief]

Usually I'd prefer a generic icon. But if we don't find a nice icon which fits, then we can also create an icon pack which is little bit more effort

[gameroman]

I think a bolt icon is the most neutral/generic of them all, and then for those conexts which it does not make sense at all, a separate icon could be made

[SayanShankhari]

for run i had the following idea, see if it fits purpose for actions as well.

Sorry, I currently don't have capacity to work on this at the moment. Anyone can feel free to take this on
