SVG artwork

Produce intentional editable vector geometry and appropriate exports for the declared use. Tracing is one reconstruction route; direct drawing from a brief is supported.

Choose the work

Use modes and capabilities to select create, reconstruct, adapt, edit or review and establish available capabilities. Image generation is optional. Honor an explicit image-first requirement; if generation is unavailable, disclose the gap and obtain a route decision before substituting direct construction. A supplied reference or an agreed brief-only route can work without image generation. Missing image observation leaves visual acceptance unverified.

Read review gates for the task's acceptance contract and evidence boundaries. Brief-only creation derives criteria from the brief and declared design choices, without invented image observations.

Inspect an existing asset/source before modifying it. Record essential identity, detail roles, style, permitted adaptations, actual sizes/backgrounds and required consuming actions. Scale this contract to the task. Review mode is read-only unless fixes are requested. Preserve approved unusual styles and accepted versions.

Construct the asset

Choose direct geometry, manual tracing, automatic tracing with inspected cleanup, semantic rebuilding, or a scoped source edit based on the required fidelity and editability. Do not invent a requirement to trace every raster pixel. A raster embedded in an SVG wrapper does not fulfill a genuine vector request; disclose any intentional raster component and agree on the changed contract.

Keep a readable master with semantic groups, deliberate geometry, viewBox, palette and separable parts for requested edits. Separate optimized exports from the editable master. For repeated inline embedding, namespace IDs and references per instance, and scope selectors so editing one instance cannot alter another. A filename prefix alone does not distinguish repeated copies.
