# Recolor SVG

Replace colors in an SVG file by mapping old colors to new ones.

## Prerequisites

The `SVG_NEW_API_KEY` environment variable must be set.

## Steps

1. Read the SVG file specified by the user or `$ARGUMENTS`
2. Determine which colors to replace — ask the user if not specified
3. Build a color map object: `{ "#old_hex": "#new_hex", ... }`
4. Call the API:

```bash
curl -s -X POST "${SVG_NEW_API_URL:-https://svg.new}/api/agent/edit/recolor" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SVG_NEW_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"svg\": \"$SVG_CONTENT\", \"color_map\": $COLOR_MAP}"
```

5. Extract the `svg` field from the response
6. Write it back to the file (or a new file if the user prefers)

## Notes

- This operation is free (no credits consumed)
- Colors are matched case-insensitively
- Supports hex (#RGB, #RRGGBB), named colors (red, blue), and rgb() values
- Only fill colors are modified; strokes are preserved
