## Description

MakerSkillTree is an educational roadmap designer and interactive skill map visualizer. It provides a system for creating, exporting, and navigating structured learning paths through an SVG skill tree generator and a corresponding YAML learning path schema.

The project features a drag-and-drop interface for designing custom skill trees and a bidirectional conversion system that translates visual layouts between SVG and YAML formats. This allows for data-driven version tracking and the generation of changelogs between different iterations of a skill tree.

The system supports the visualization of a wide range of competencies, including technical disciplines like digital fabrication, creative arts and crafts, and home and lifestyle skills. It utilizes tiered hexagonal grids and schema-based validation to standardize curriculum structures and track personal mastery and progress across these learning paths.
