Same hub.
A deeper playbook.
Ship websites, apps, and blogs with a guided playbook: design direction, modern stack build (Astro, Next.js, React, Tailwind), verify gates, and live framework docs via Context7. Purchase Pro, activate your license, then install the pack from the CLI or chain hub into ~/chain-hub.
License + pack — two separate steps
Checkout or beta approval gives you a Hub Pro license. That unlocks Brain in the local dashboard. Installing the Pro pack (44 skills, 15 agents, 19 workflows, team rules) is a deliberate second step you run from the CLI or hub — only while your license is active.
Brain in chain hub
CHAIN-… key from Account → chain pro activate <key> or Settings → Pro unlocks Memory + Pipeline. Does not download pack files.
Skills into ~/chain-hub
After activation: chain pro install-pack or Install Chain Hub Pro pack in the hub. One command copies skills, agents, workflows, and rules, then chain setup symlinks them into linked editors.
Digital product playbook
Pro is a guided path from design direction to a shipped website, app, or blog — with the right modern stack and quality gates. Skills hold process and hard rules; Context7 supplies live Tailwind, React, Astro, and Next.js docs when APIs change.
Design adviser datasets, design system profiles, structured handoff to implementation.
ui-ux-designer plus stack companions: Astro, Next.js, React, Tailwind, shadcn.
Responsiveness, security pass, tests, API contract review before merge.
Release checklist, documentation, commit discipline, code reviewer agent.
Project-type routing
Start with digital-product-lead when the stack is unclear.
| Project | Default stack | Skill sequence |
|---|---|---|
| Blog / docs | Astro + Tailwind | design-adviser → astro → ui-ux-designer |
| Marketing / landing | Design systems + Astro or Next | design-system profile → ui-ux-designer |
| Web app / SaaS | Next.js + React + shadcn | next-js-app → react-patterns → ui-ux-designer |

How it fits together
One Pro pack, four asset types — all installed together when you run chain pro install-pack (or the hub equivalent) with an active license.
| Type | Question it answers | Lands in |
|---|---|---|
| Skill | How should the assistant tackle this task? | ~/chain-hub/skills/<slug>/ |
| Agent | What should a focused worker do in this role? | ~/chain-hub/agents/ |
| Workflow | What steps should a human or operator follow? | ~/chain-hub/workflows/ |
| Rule | What conventions always apply? | ~/chain-hub/rules/ |
After install, run chain setup so linked editors pick up symlinks, then chain validate. Refresh with chain pro refresh-pack or chain update.
