Abilities are the building blocks; Pro Skills are the power tools. Where an ability does one typed operation, a Pro Skill packages a whole expert workflow — turning a screenshot into builder components, or a transcript into a full course — with validation built in. The Pro Skills panel is where you install, manage and understand them. This guide explains what skills are, how they differ from abilities, and how to use them.
Pro Skills are premium, workflow-level capabilities — EtchWP/Bricks/Elementor/ACSS design-to-builder, and the Tutor LMS course builders. Install from the panel with your license, then invoke them by prompt. Each validates its output before anything is written.
Open the Pro Skills panel
Go to NIBWP › Pro Skills. You will see the available skills, your license status, and an install/activate control for each. Skills are licensed add-ons — part of a Pro plan or the Bundle.
Skills vs abilities
The difference is scope and intelligence:
| Ability | Pro Skill | |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | One typed operation | A whole expert workflow |
| Example | “create a post” | “turn this screenshot into EtchWP components” |
| Validation | Schema check | Domain validation (BEM, tokens, pedagogy) |
| Licensing | Built in | Pro / Bundle |
The available skills
- EtchWP Pro — designs to native Etch components
- Bricks Pro — designs to validated Bricks templates
- Elementor Pro — designs to Elementor widget trees
- ACSS Pro — generate an Automatic.css token config
- Tutor LMS Builder — source material to a full, validated course
- Course Mini-site — a sales page bound to a live course
Step 1 — Install and license
With a Pro or Bundle license active, install the skill from the panel. It registers its abilities, which then appear to your agents like any other tool — but backed by the skill’s validation pipeline.
Step 2 — Invoke by prompt
Once installed, you use a skill by describing the outcome. The skill plans, validates and (on your approval) builds:
You: Recreate this hero from the screenshot as EtchWP components.\netchwp-pro-image-to-component - validating tokens, BEM...\nComponent drafted - 18 tokens mapped, validated, awaiting approval
