What's the difference between Block Collection and Block Party blocks?

Block Collection contains Adobe-maintained, vetted reference blocks with best practices and high performance. Block Party includes community-driven blocks, plugins, build tools, and integrations for specialized needs and innovative approaches.

Do I need to know Node to use this for finding block examples?

Node is a dependency for running this Skill, but you don't need deep Node expertise. The Skill handles querying and structuring results; you provide search terms and optionally filter by category.

How does filtering by category help when searching for blocks?

Category filtering narrows results to specific block types or use cases, reducing noise and helping you compare multiple implementations within a single domain before building your own.

What information do I get back when searching for a block?

Structured results include block name, display name, type, live example URL, code repository URLs, and metadata suitable for downstream analysis, integration evaluation, or building new blocks.
