Improves SkillCard readability and layout consistency, adds missing tech icons, and removes the keywords editing section from the skill admin form.

SkillCard layout (SkillCard.tsx)

Replaces the two-row stacked layout with a single items-stretch flex row:

  • Left: icon + name (flex-1 min-w-0) — vertically centered against the full card height
  • Right: years on top, level badge below (flex-col justify-between shrink-0)
  • Skill name uses break-words [overflow-wrap:anywhere] to prevent long words (e.g. "internationalization") from overflowing or colliding with right-side content
<div className="flex items-stretch gap-2">
  <div className="flex items-center gap-2 flex-1 min-w-0">
    <SkillIcon ... />
    <h3 className="... break-words [overflow-wrap:anywhere]">{skill.name}</h3>
  </div>
  <div className="flex flex-col items-end shrink-0 justify-between gap-1">
    {skill.yearsOfExperience ? <span>...yr(s)</span> : null}
    <span className={levelClasses}>{skill.level}</span>
  </div>
</div>

New icons (customIcons.ts)

  • Markdown — Devicon paths (standard M↓ logo)
  • MDX — Custom: same border as Markdown icon + <text> in MDX brand orange (#f6a623)
  • Astro — Devicon paths with namespaced gradient IDs (astro-grad-a/b) to avoid SVG ID collisions

Skill form keywords removal (SkillsForm.tsx)

Removes the Keywords Card section and associated state/handlers. Existing keyword data is preserved in form submissions via read-only state initialized from initialData.

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>UI Improvements for Skill Card Component </issue_title>
<issue_description>## Objective
Enhance the Skill Card UI on the portfolio site to improve layout, responsiveness, and readability.

Add SVG icon for markdown, MDX, Astro.js

Add docs design system to projects: https://github.com/roadlittledawn/docs-design-system

Remove keywords from editing screen

Tasks

  • Move the skill level display to the right side of the card, directly under the number of years.
  • Make the skill icon and skill name span the full height of both rows (icon + name in left, years + level in right).
  • Ensure the skill name wraps and never collides with information displayed on the right (years of experience and skill level).
  • The card layout should be fully responsive across screen sizes, from mobile to desktop.
  • If the skill name is long (e.g., "internationalization"), force a word break if it would otherwise overflow the card.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Skill level appears beneath years on right side of card.
  • Icon and skill name always fill the height of both rows on the left.
  • Skill name wraps and doesn't overlap/collide with the right-side content.
  • Layout remains clean and readable on all device sizes.
  • Long words in skill names are forcibly broken to prevent overflow.
