Opus is so bad at electrical work it's really disappointing. And when it tries to draw schematics as SVGs it's a complete disaster. They should either focus on training their LLMs on this task specifically, or have it refuse.

Hmm, what kind of electrical work? I had it "watch over my shoulder" as I swapped out the pressure switch on our home well and it was a big help. And in the run up to that when I explained opening the 220 box and checking that was "above my paygrade" it limited our investigation to just the less sparky parts.
I mean introductory circuit stuff. Not electrician-lite work.
have it write python porogram to generate the svgs. then use the program. circuit diagrams are rrlatively thin corpus but it knows how ciruits work sufficently to write a program.
Is there a good pre-existing DSL for this task?
You ain’t gotta be sniffy about it, English.
SVG is like asking an electrician to give you a circuit diagram by painting a watercolor

I'd try something like CircuiTikZ with instructions provided
