Generate cohesive, project-specific SVG icon sets for websites and applications. Use this skill whenever the user needs custom icons, an icon set for a website or app, icons for a client project, or mentions needing SVG icons that look consistent together. Also trigger when the user describes a project and icons would naturally be part of the deliverable — e.g. 'I'm building a site for a plumber' implies they'll need service icons. Trigger on: 'icons for', 'icon set', 'custom icons', 'SVG icons', 'make me icons', 'I need icons', 'website icons', 'project icons', or any request for consistent visual assets for a web project. Produces individual SVG files with a consistent style engine, not generic icon library lookups.

SVG diagramming conventions blending a technical look with CJK-friendly typography. Use when creating flowcharts, architecture diagrams, and similar SVG figures. For one-shot generation, prefer invoking it from a subagent so the main context does not have to carry this skill plus the SVG XML; for multi-round tweaking, use it directly in the main context.
