since i didn't see a clear answer in a dev post i will ask it here (and my other two post are suppose to be moved or deleted to here). the book when it talks about skills it says ranks+ability mod+bonus no clear cut saying in the skills section about stacking skills. in the COMBAT section only it talks about bonus but all examples there refer to combat add-ons like the aura and a spell which will give you the better bonus (and that makes sense during combat you wouldn't be able to stack a bunch of stuff on it). but there is nothing in the book that says skills don't stack. if anything the way it reads they do stack. if there is a direct comment from a dev already saying yes definitely they don't stack (i've seen only one post about an operative only but not the rest of the classes.)

see that is the question i am trying to clear up because when i look under rules there is nothing that states that it doesn't stack. the only section that talks about not staking are in combat section it refers to bonus given from outside sources not from abilities. (from the book example an aura from a pet combine with a spell) that i can see why it doesn't stack but when you look under the skills section it just says all bonus. not some bonus as long as they don't stack.
