A workflow for creating animated SVG images from natural-language descriptions. SVG is a text-based image format that can describe logos, icons, characters, and other graphics with motion.

Use it to create, edit, or remix moving mascots, logos, loaders, badges, icons, backgrounds, and other visual assets.

It keeps animations built from reusable, testable parts instead of isolated hand-written markup. This makes later changes and new animations easier to manage.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00275	$0.02493
Opus 5.5	$0.00110	$0.00997
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00055	$0.00499
Haiku 4.5	$0.00028	$0.00249

Security

Grade A, and why

svg-animate scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 225 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the entry point for SVG animation requests in this repository.

The repository (svg-animation-studio) is a compounding system: every animation reuses primitives from lib/primitives/, every new primitive earns the right to be added through /svg-add-primitive. Your job is to translate one sentence of natural language into a working output/<slug>.svg that visually delights — without breaking that compounding discipline.

Why this skill exists

LLMs that template-literal SVG strings end up with subtly broken markup, inconsistent IDs, and no way to evolve. This skill funnels everything through lib/composer.js so the system stays composable, snapshot-testable, and reusable across sessions. If you find yourself wanting to write <svg ...> inline anywhere, stop — composer.composeSVG exists for exactly that need.

Step 1 — Understand what's being asked

Read any user-provided reference from ref/ (sketches, sample SVGs, screenshots).
Identify the asset class: character mascot, logo mark, loader/spinner, notification badge, ambient background, icon, or product card (a README card whose stage shows a product at work).
- A product card is a different job. Read docs/product-cards.md first: draw it in the product's own design system, produce the stage from the real thing, schedule it on a timeline, end on a frame about the work. Fork project-card; build with lib/text.js, lib/timeline.js, lib/media.js.
- A logo that cycles expressions on a long loop without touching its geometry: read docs/animating-a-mark.md first.
Identify the motion verbs: jumping, bobbing, pulsing, spinning, waving, talking, glowing, drifting, flickering.
Identify the style cues: pixel-art, gradient-smooth, flat, neon, comic.

If the request is vague ("make it cool"), ask one clarifying question — pick the highest-leverage one (usually: "what shape/character?" or "what motion?"). Don't grill the user.
