## Description

WireViz is a tool that generates wiring diagrams, bills of materials, and schematic routing from YAML configuration. It supports standard wire color codes such as IEC 60757 and DIN 47100, and automatically converts wire gauge units between square millimeters and American Wire Gauge (AWG).

The tool automatically routes one-to-one wire connections within a harness by matching pin identifiers, eliminating manual layout steps. It also produces a bill of materials with wire lengths and part numbers directly from the same YAML input that defines the diagram.
