 Guidance for authoring SVG icons for the JetBrains plugin. This skill is the single source of truth for icon sizing, palette, dark variants, composition rules, and placement. Other docs (including `packages/kilo-jetbrains/AGENTS.md`) defer here for SVG authoring details.
 
-Icons follow IntelliJ New UI conventions: a fixed canvas per role, a strict light/dark palette, and explicit per-shape colors (the IntelliJ SVG loader recolors by matching literal hex values, so `currentColor` and CSS do not work). The plugin loads icons directly from a flat resource folder — see [Where the SVGs live](#where-the-svgs-live).

The plugin loads icons directly from its resource folder — see [Where the SVGs live](#where-the-svgs-live).
 
 ## Golden rules
 
 1. **Always ship two SVGs** — one for the light theme (e.g. `add-file.svg`) and one for the dark theme with the `_dark` suffix (`add-file_dark.svg`). Geometry must be identical between them; only the palette swaps.
-   - **Tool-window icons ship as a quartet, not a pair.** When a tool window has both a 16×16 base (`name.svg` / `name_dark.svg`) and a 20×20 stripe variant (`name@20x20.svg` / `name@20x20_dark.svg`), they must share the same metaphor. The stripe is only one surface — the 16×16 base also appears in **Search Everywhere**, **Find Action**, context menus, the Services tool window, recent locations, and the View ▸ Tool Windows menu. Changing only the @20x20 leaves users seeing two different icons for the same tool window depending on where they encounter it. Always update all four files together (e.g. `tool-window-chat.svg` + `tool-window-chat@20x20.svg`).

 2. **Only use colors from the canonical palette.** See [palette.md](./palette.md). Picking a one-off color breaks theming and contrast.
 3. **One canvas size per icon role.** See [Icon roles](#icon-roles). Do not invent new sizes or pad with empty space — IntelliJ scales the canvas as a single unit.
 4. **No raster, no gradients, no filters, no embedded fonts.** Path geometry only (`<path>`, `<rect>`, `<circle>`, `<line>`, `<polyline>`, `<polygon>`). Text must be converted to outlines.
 5. **Use `fill="none"` on the root `<svg>`** and set `fill` / `stroke` explicitly per shape — never rely on CSS or `currentColor`.
 6. **Strokes use `stroke-width="1"`, `stroke-linecap="round"`, `stroke-linejoin="round"`** (or `stroke-miterlimit="10"` for hard joins). Heavier strokes are reserved for hero glyphs inside a circle badge (e.g. status checkmarks) and use `stroke-width="1.5"` or `"2"`.
-7. **Pixel-grid align**: keep stroke axes on half-pixel centers (`x.5`) and fills on whole pixels so the icon stays crisp at 1× rendering. SVGs are resolution-independent — do not create `@2x` raster variants. Getting the base grid right is what keeps the icon crisp at 1× and at integer HiDPI scales (2×/Retina); fractional scales (125%/150%) are snapped by the IntelliJ renderer, so keep geometry simple and grid-aligned rather than chasing sub-pixel detail.
-8. **File names use kebab-case and stay ASCII-only** (e.g. `arrow-down-to-line.svg`, `book-open-check.svg`, `tool-window-chat.svg`), matching every existing icon in `packages/kilo-jetbrains/frontend/src/main/resources/icons/`.

Getting the base grid right also keeps it crisp on HiDPI/Retina; fine sub-pixel detail blurs at fractional scales (125%/150%), so keep geometry simple rather than chasing detail that won't survive scaling.

-Note: the exclamation glyph here (the vertical bar + dot paths) is the same optically centered `!` used by the error badge in section 5, so between the light and dark warning variants only the fill color changes. This is the one case where reusing a sibling glyph unchanged is correct; the general rule still stands that a glyph must be re-balanced when its container centers it differently.
