whats the difference w/r/t programming? in this case I'd argue the knowledge was the skill

Skill is inherent, abstract, hard to modify, and generic. Problem solving is skill. Knowledge is knowing the syntax for a textbox in React.
Not much skill in problem solving if you can't Google some react syntax
