# SVGO SVG Optimization Tool

An agent skill built on SVGO (SVG Optimizer), the Node.js tool for optimizing SVG files by applying a configurable set of transformation plugins. Removes unnecessary metadata, simplifies paths, collapses groups, and reduces SVG file sizes for faster web rendering.

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- npm install -g svgo
- yarn global add svgo
- pnpm add -g svgo

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- SVGO, short for **SVG O**ptimizer, is a Node.js library and command-line application for optimizing SVG files.
- You can install SVGO globally through npm, yarn, or pnpm. Alternatively, drop the global flag (global/-g) to use it in your Node.js project.

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- sh
- # npm
- # yarn
