Proficiency Ratings API

API for customizing proficiency ratings

  "description": "Exceeds Mastery",
  // A non-negative number of points for the rating
  "points": 4,
  // Indicates the rating where mastery is first achieved
  "mastery": false,
  // The hex color code of the rating
  "color": "127A1B"
}

A Proficiency object looks like:

{
  // An array of proficiency ratings. See the ProficiencyRating specification
  // above.
  "ratings": []
}
