## Icon Generation Guidelines
### Standard Structure
```svg
<svg
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
viewBox="0 0 24 24"
width="24"
height="24"
fill="none"
stroke="currentColor"
stroke-width="2"
stroke-linecap="round"
stroke-linejoin="round"
aria-hidden="true"
>
<!-- Icon paths here -->
</svg>
```
### Icon Styles
**Outline (Stroke-based)**
```svg
<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2">
<circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10"/>
<path d="M12 8v4l3 3"/>
</svg>
```
**Solid (Fill-based)**
```svg
<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="currentColor">
<path d="M12 2C6.48 2 2 6.48 2 12s4.48 10 10 10 10-4.48 10-10S17.52 2 12 2z"/>
</svg>
```
**Duotone (Two-color)**
```svg
<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24">
<path fill="currentColor" opacity="0.3" d="M12 2C6.48 2 2 6.48 2 12s4.48 10 10 10 10-4.48 10-10S17.52 2 12 2z"/>
<path fill="currentColor" d="M12 8v4l3 3"/>
</svg>
```
## Common Icon Patterns
### UI Icons
```svg
<!-- Hamburger Menu -->
<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2">
<line x1="3" y1="6" x2="21" y2="6"/>
<line x1="3" y1="12" x2="21" y2="12"/>
<line x1="3" y1="18" x2="21" y2="18"/>
</svg>
<!-- Close/X -->
<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2">
<line x1="18" y1="6" x2="6" y2="18"/>
<line x1="6" y1="6" x2="18" y2="18"/>
</svg>
<!-- Chevron Right -->
<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2">
<polyline points="9 18 15 12 9 6"/>
</svg>
<!-- Search -->
<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2">
<circle cx="11" cy="11" r="8"/>
<line x1="21" y1="21" x2="16.65" y2="16.65"/>
</svg>
<!-- Check -->
<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2">
<polyline points="20 6 9 17 4 12"/>
</svg>
```
### Action Icons
```svg
<!-- Download -->
<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2">
<path d="M21 15v4a2 2 0 01-2 2H5a2 2 0 01-2-2v-4"/>
<polyline points="7 10 12 15 17 10"/>
<line x1="12" y1="15" x2="12" y2="3"/>
</svg>
<!-- Upload -->
<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2">
<path d="M21 15v4a2 2 0 01-2 2H5a2 2 0 01-2-2v-4"/>
<polyline points="17 8 12 3 7 8"/>
<line x1="12" y1="3" x2="12" y2="15"/>
</svg>
<!-- Copy -->
<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2">
<rect x="9" y="9" width="13" height="13" rx="2" ry="2"/>
<path d="M5 15H4a2 2 0 01-2-2V4a2 2 0 012-2h9a2 2 0 012 2v1"/>
</svg>
```
## Best Practices
1. **viewBox**: Always use `viewBox="0 0 24 24"` for consistency
2. **currentColor**: Use `fill="currentColor"` or `stroke="currentColor"` for themeable icons
3. **No fixed sizes**: Let width/height be set by CSS
4. **Accessibility**: Add `aria-hidden="true"` for decorative icons
5. **Optimization**: Remove unnecessary attributes and whitespace
6. **Line consistency**: Use consistent stroke-width (usually 1.5 or 2)
## Output Formats
### React Component
```jsx
export const IconName = ({ size = 24, ...props }) => (
<svg
width={size}
height={size}
viewBox="0 0 24 24"
fill="none"
stroke="currentColor"
strokeWidth="2"
strokeLinecap="round"
strokeLinejoin="round"
{...props}
>
{/* paths */}
</svg>
);
```
### CSS Background
```css
.icon {
background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 24 24'%3E%3C/svg%3E");
}
```
