Optimize SVG files

SkillFiles & storage

svg claude skill is a skill for AI agents that reviews image assets, markup, and CDN or build transforms related to optimizing SVG files. It checks encoded size, rendered size, loading strategy, and above-the-fold impact together, so an agent can double-check vector image work before pages ship.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Have an AI agent that supports loading skills.

Then ask your AI: use the Optimize SVG files skill

What your AI can do with it

  • Review image assets and SVG markup
  • Check encoded size of SVG files
  • Check rendered size of SVG files
  • Evaluate loading strategy for SVG assets
  • Assess above-the-fold impact of images
  • Review CDN or build transforms for SVGs

Getting started

  1. Have an AI agent that supports loading skills.
  2. Add the svg-optimization skill to the agent's available skills.
  3. Ask the agent to review SVG assets, markup, or build transforms using the skill.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by thedaviddias/front-end-checklist in skills/svg-optimization/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

SVGs exported from design tools contain unnecessary metadata, comments, and redundant code—optimization removes this bloat, often cutting file size in half.

Quick Reference

  • SVGO can reduce SVG file size by 50-80%
  • Removes editor metadata, comments, and redundant attributes
  • Preserve viewBox and accessibility attributes
  • Integrate into build process for automatic optimization

Check

Check if SVG files are optimized by removing unnecessary metadata and formatting.

Fix

Optimize SVG files using SVGO or similar tools to reduce file size.

Explain

Explain how SVG optimization can reduce file sizes by 50-80% without quality loss.

Code Review

Review image assets, markup, and delivery configuration related to Optimize SVG files. Flag exact files or components where format choice, sizing, or loading behavior violates the rule, and describe how to confirm the fix in DevTools.

Questions

When should this skill be used?
Use it when reviewing image assets, markup, and CDN or build transforms related to optimizing SVG files.
What does it check?
It checks encoded size, rendered size, loading strategy, and above-the-fold impact together rather than looking at each in isolation.
What kind of tool is it?
It is a skill: an instruction set an AI agent loads to guide how it reviews and optimizes SVG files.
