What Is the Skill Tree?

The Skill Tree is a gamified visualization of your learning progress. As you save content, take notes, and complete reviews, your skill level for a topic increases.

How Skill Levels Work

Your skill level is based on:

  • Content saved: How many items you have saved on this topic
  • Engagement: Highlights and notes created
  • Retention: Spaced repetition performance
  • Depth: Variety of sub-topics covered

Viewing Your Skill Tree

Go to Skill Tree from the navigation. Each branch represents a topic, branch thickness shows depth, and color intensity shows recent activity.

Example:

  • Machine Learning — Level 8

- Neural Networks — Level 6

- NLP — Level 4

  • Business — Level 6

- Marketing — Level 8

- Finance — Level 4

Why Gamification Works

Visible progress tracking increases motivation and consistency. The Skill Tree gives you clear indicators of how far you have come and makes gaps in your knowledge obvious at a glance.

TIP

The Skill Tree measures what you have actively engaged with — not just passively consumed. Highlighting, noting, and reviewing is what levels you up.
