SVG Cleaner

Use this skill when the user wants an SVG cleaned up for application use, especially for icons that should inherit color from CSS.

Arguments:

• $ARGUMENTS may contain one or more SVG file paths, or a short instruction about the target SVGs.
• If no arguments are provided, inspect the current task context and ask for the SVG path only if it cannot be inferred safely.

Goals:

1. Remove SVG comments such as <!-- ... -->.
2. Make icon color follow CSS with currentColor where it is safe to do so.
3. Preserve rendering unless the user explicitly asks for a more aggressive cleanup.

Workflow:

1. Read the SVG file or files first.
2. Remove comments and obvious editor noise only when it is safe.
3. Inspect how color is applied:
   • If the SVG is effectively single-color, convert hardcoded fill and/or stroke colors to currentColor.
   • Keep fill="none" and stroke="none" unchanged.
   • Preserve url(#...) paints, gradients, masks, clip paths, filters, and other structural features.
   • Preserve multi-color artwork unless the user explicitly asks to flatten it into a single CSS-controlled color.
4. Prefer the smallest safe change:
   • If one shared color is used throughout, replacing repeated hardcoded colors with currentColor is preferred.
   • If a root-level fill or stroke can safely express the same result, that is acceptable.
   • Update inline style attributes when they are the only place color is defined.
5. Keep important SVG behavior intact:
   • Preserve viewBox.
   • Preserve geometry, transforms, fill-rule, clip-rule, and opacity-related attributes unless cleanup requires a targeted rewrite.
6. After editing, quickly re-read the result and check that no hardcoded color remains on elements that should now inherit from CSS.

Decision rules:

• Treat monochrome icons as good candidates for currentColor.
• Treat logos, illustrations, flags, gradients, and intentionally multi-color assets as not safe for automatic color unification.
• If safety is unclear, make the conservative cleanup only: remove comments and report why color conversion was skipped.

Output:

• Briefly state which SVG files were updated.
• State whether currentColor conversion was applied or intentionally skipped.
• Call out any remaining manual follow-up only if the SVG structure makes safe automation ambiguous.
