# SF Symbols Quick Reference

## Purpose

Use when working with SF Symbols rendering modes, symbol effects, animation, palettes, variable symbols, or accessibility labels.

## Routing

Use this skill only when the request matches the frontmatter description. If a narrower framework, platform, testing, debugging, product, or workflow skill clearly owns the request, use that narrower skill instead.

If setup, documentation, tools, memory files, specs, scripts, or project conventions are required, search the current repository first. If the required setup is missing and the workflow cannot proceed without it, ask the user for the location or permission to create it.

## Workflow

1. Read the relevant sections of `references/full-guidance.md` before acting.
2. Load only the additional reference files below that match the task.
3. Apply the smallest workflow path that satisfies the request.
4. Verify with the appropriate build, test, lint, review, screenshot, source check, or documented evidence before reporting completion.
