Whispers psychic blades says you can expend a bardic die to add 2d6 psychic damage to your weapon attack, but doesn't say whether or not it can stack with similar things like booming blade, green flame blade, etc. it doesnt say in its description that it makes a weapon out of energy to attack with like the soulknife rogue, so it confuses me further . so if someone could tell me the difference between college of whispers Psychic blades and a soulknife rogue, and if stacking is possible with the psychic blades from Whispers bard that would be great.
also when it says add damage that adds to what the weapons roll on damage and anything modifying that like dueling feat or fighting styles right?

Psychic Blade doesn't say it create a weapon, it make your weapon attacks magically toxic to a creature's mind. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to deal an additional 2d6 psychic damage to that target. It's an extra damage that you add to an existing weapon attack's damage roll including any other applicable additions to it, where a Soulknife's Psychic Blade create a simple weapon specifically that you can attack with and so both features can stack.
Anything that includes a Weapon Attack can have additional damage added to it by Psychic Blades. It can combine with Booming Blade and Green Flame Blade, because those spells include a Weapon Attack as part of their casting. You can combine Psychic Blades with Sneak Attack, with a Battle Master Maneuver, with a Paladin Smite (taking a 2-level dip into Paladin is devastating for a melee-focused bard, who gets way more Spell Slots to play with).
Something else to keep in mind with Psychic Blades is that it applies to all Weapon Attacks... whether Melee or Ranged. So you can hit someone with a hand crossbow and still tack on extra psychic damage.
Don't think of it as creating an actual "Psychic Blade" so much as imbuing the Blade you are currently wielding (or any weapon, really... you can add it to a club and it still works) with Psychic Energy. It's a little confusing because the Soul Knife Rogue ability is also called "Psychic Blades", but aside from having the same name the two features are 100% different, and you could technically multiclass and would have both versions of "Psychic Blades" on the same character sheet and use both versions in a single attack, gaining the full benefits of both at the same time.

What they said.
Psychic blades basically works like divine smite or sneak attack (which both work with GFB and BB).
