Quick Reference
| Topic | File | Key Trap |
|---|---|---|
| viewBox & Scaling | viewbox.md | Missing viewBox = no scaling |
| Screen Readers | accessibility.md | role="img" + title as first child |
| SVGO Config | optimization.md | Default removes viewBox/title |
| Inline vs img | embedding.md | <img> cannot be styled with CSS |
| currentColor | styling.md | Hardcoded fills block theming |
Critical Defaults
<!-- Minimum viable SVG -->
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="currentColor">
<path d="..."/>
</svg>
Common Mistakes Checklist
- viewBox present (not just width/height)
- Coordinates within viewBox bounds
- No hardcoded
fill="#000"if theming needed -
role="img"+<title>for informative SVGs -
aria-hidden="true"for decorative SVGs - Unique IDs across all inline SVGs on page
- xmlns included for external
.svgfiles
Memory Storage
User preferences persist in ~/svg/memory.md. Create on first use.
## User Preferences
<!-- SVG workflow defaults. Format: "setting: value" -->
<!-- Examples: default_viewbox: 0 0 24 24, prefer_inline: true -->
## Accessibility Mode
<!-- informative | decorative -->
## Optimization
<!-- Tool and settings. Format: "tool: setting" -->
<!-- Examples: svgo: preset-default, remove_metadata: true -->
## Icon Defaults
<!-- Fill and sizing preferences -->
<!-- Examples: fill: currentColor, default_size: 24x24 -->
Empty sections = use skill defaults. Learns user preferences over time.
