Visual Schema for prebuilt skills

Currently we have a really IBM way to see prebuilt skills, which makes it difficult to follow a flow of the actions or to modify them. I think if we do a more UiPath-like implementation of prebuilt actions, it would be easier for us to sell the tool and not rely on external platforms. In "Image 1" you can see that there is a very intuitive way to see a skill (from UiPath) where every step is explained and with one click I can see the schema as a whole of the skill and I can easily see the "+" button, knowing that I can also extend the skill. Its IBM counterpart "Image 2" is little intuitive and too invasive, What is the chain of thought of the skill? Will I be able to connect it to a gmail? Will I be able to assign the gmail as a system variable that the assistant will gather? Can I extend the skill to fit my needs?
