Select Svg Icon

Choose and validate SVG icons for pyRevit extension commands. Use when creating or updating a pyRevit pushbutton and you need an SVG-only icon workflow with automated acquisition from svgrepo.com first, manual fallback on svgfind.com, and vision-based semantic ranking before finalizing icon assets.

Select SVG Icon

Use this skill to pick an icon that matches a pyRevit command's behavior, not just its name.

SVG-Only Policy

Acquire source assets as .svg only.
Reject PNG-only sources during acquisition.
Generate icon.png only in the finalization step for pyRevit compatibility.

Workflow

Read the target command script and capture an intent brief:

Primary verb (select, align, export, delete).
Primary object (walls, views, parameters, sheets).
Risk level (safe, warning, destructive).
User context (single element, batch, analysis, settings).

Build 3-6 SVG search queries from the brief.

Start with verb noun.
Add one domain synonym.
Add one metaphor fallback only if literal matches are weak.

Collect 3-5 candidate SVG icons with ordered sources.

Keep candidate downloads and previews under tmp/icons/<command-name>/.
Record each source URL and license note.
Run scripts/acquire_svgrepo_svg.py --command-id <command-name> -q "<query>" ... first.
Run references/svgrepo_automated_acquisition.md first.
If automated acquisition yields fewer than 3 valid candidates, run references/svgfind_acquisition.md as manual fallback.

Run a vision pass before deciding.

Compare candidates against the script intent and UI context.
Score and rank with references/icon_review_rubric.md.
Reject icons that imply the wrong action direction or risk level.
If vision tools are unavailable, use candidate metadata as fallback and mark confidence as low.

Finalize for pyRevit.

Save the selected icon to the command folder as icon.png.
Generate icon.png from the selected SVG with scripts/render_svg_icon_png.py.
Check legibility at 16px, 24px, and 32px before finalizing.
Keep rejected candidates in tmp/ only.
Add a one-line rationale in task/review notes to preserve intent for future changes.

Use With Other Skills

Pair with develop-pyrevit-extensions for command scaffolding and workflow docs.
Pair with pyrevit-revit-20xx skills when API behavior affects icon semantics.

Technical Reference

Open scripts/acquire_svgrepo_svg.py for deterministic automated SVG acquisition.
Open scripts/render_svg_icon_png.py to render final icon.png from SVG.
Open references/svgrepo_automated_acquisition.md for the default automated acquisition path.
Open references/svgfind_acquisition.md for the manual fallback path.
Use references/icon_review_rubric.md after acquisition to rank candidates with vision.
