Maybe this is a dumb question but here goes.
For Bards in particular, with Perform as a Class Skill, does this apply to ALL Perform skills they put ranks into or just ONE? They often need to have multiple Performance types available (auditory/visual) and it seems like whether they get that +3 to all of them would be a big factor
What about other bonuses to Perform that don't specify a particular subset? Like the +2 racial bonus from being an Azata-blooded Aasimar for example
Craft and Profession are similar in that they are made up of a number of individual skills, would they work the same way in terms of Class Skill bonuses?
I've looked at the text descriptions for each of these Skills, and it explicitly compares them to Knowledge in that they are made up of individual Skills which must be ranked up separately (which suggests the Class Skill bonus might only apply to ONE). But on the other-hand, in regards to Class Skills specifically, Knowledges are always listed separately (or indicated as ALL in the case of Wizards), where as Perform, Craft, and Profession are not. The reliance of the Bard in particular on multiple types of Perform would suggest to me that maybe they should be able to apply their Class Skill bonus and other general Perform bonuses to more than one type. Otherwise Versatile Performance would be far less useful than how I've understood it
