# Serval SVG Expert

## Overview

This is the internal audit and maintenance skill for `serval-svg`.

Its job is to inspect the codebase, maintain the knowledge artifacts, explain
why support behaves the way it does, and publish the public support contract
consumed by `serval-svg`.

## Canonical Inputs

Load these files first:

- `../../docs/audit-matrix.json`
- `../../docs/deepwiki.md`
- `../../docs/support-matrix.json`
- `../../tools/svg_support_audit.py`
- `../../README.md`
- `../../AGENTS.md`
- [references/workflows.md](references/workflows.md)
- [references/feature-extension.md](references/feature-extension.md)

## Core Responsibilities

### 1. Repository Audit

Use this skill when the user wants:

- a code audit of `serval-svg`
- a support inventory grounded in implementation
- an explanation of parser/render/backend gaps
- refreshed SVG knowledge artifacts

The audit source of truth is:

- `audit-matrix.json` for structured facts
- `deepwiki.md` for engineering context
- source files for verification

### 2. Public Contract Maintenance

This skill owns the publication flow from internal facts to external support
answers.

When support changes:

1. regenerate `svg/docs/audit-matrix.json`
2. regenerate `svg/docs/support-matrix.json`
3. refresh `svg/docs/deepwiki.md`
4. update both skills if the support surface changed

### 3. SVG Compatibility Analysis

Use this skill when the user provides an SVG snippet or file and asks whether
`serval-svg` can render it correctly, especially if the answer needs code
reasoning.

Preferred command:

```bash
python3 svg/tools/svg_support_audit.py analyze --profile audit --svg-file path/to/input.svg --platform all
```

Use the public profile only when validating the published support contract:

```bash
python3 svg/tools/svg_support_audit.py analyze --svg-file path/to/input.svg --platform all
```

### 4. Feature Development Guidance

Use this skill when the user wants to add or complete SVG support, especially
for filters, masks, text, image, or backend parity work.

Always evaluate all layers:

1. parser registration
2. node fields and attribute parsing
3. render-path integration
4. backend implementation
5. sample or regression coverage
6. audit-matrix update
7. support-matrix update
8. deep wiki update
9. skill update

## Response Rules

- Distinguish `recognized`, `parsed`, `rendered`, and `platform-ready`.
- Use `audit-matrix.json` as the structured internal source of truth.
- Use `support-matrix.json` to verify what the public skill is allowed to say.
- Use `deepwiki.md` for architecture and historical caveats.
- Be explicit when a tag is parsed but not rendered.
- Be explicit when something only works on one backend.
- If you infer behavior from code rather than from a sample, say so.

## Boundary

Do not use this as the first tool for a simple consumer-facing support question
if the public contract already answers it cleanly. In that case, prefer
`serval-svg`.
