A Blade & Soul plugin to hide the skills for selected classes to provide a cleaner screen in combat without hiding party members.

🚀 Major Update 3.0: Auto Detect Mode & Enhanced Skill Hiding! 🚀

Auto Detect Mode now automatically identifies your class and hides all skills and Soul Cores from other players—including those of the same class—for a cleaner, less cluttered combat view.
Essential party utilities and buffs (Soulburn, Polarity, Uplift, HMB, Stealth, Projectile Resists, Grabs, Bard Tree etc.) remain visible.
This is Enabled by default. You can deactivate it anytime via the in-game UI.
