SkillTreeTool

SkillTreeTool provides utilities for working with collections of the various Maker Skill Tree formats.

Why SkillTreeTool?

SkillTreeTool reduces some of the effort required to maintain a set of skill trees by automating common tasks so maintainers can focus on community engagement, content, and quality.

Installing

Install using go:

go install github.com/josephlewis42/skilltreetool@latest

Or, build the tool locally:

# Clone the repository
git clone github.com/josephlewis42/skilltreetool && cd skilltreetool

# Build the tool
make

# Run the tool
./build/skilltreetool

Using the tool

Examples:

# Convert YAML to SVG format:
skilltreetool yaml2svg input.yaml output.svg

# Convert SVG to YAML format:
skilltreetool svg2yaml input.svg output.yaml

# Convert SVG to YAML, output directly in the console
skilltreetool svg2yaml input.svg -

# Diff two trees and output a Keep A Changelog style changelog
skilltreetool diff original.svg new.svg

Scope and future

The goals of this tool are to fill a similar role to a traditional programming language toolchain:

• Convert skill trees into different formats.
• Check trees for errors.
• Compile them for publishing e.g. to GitHub pages.

Because not everyone is comfortable with CLI tools, the tool can also be compiled to WASM to run in the browser.
