SKILL.md

UnoCSS is an instant atomic CSS engine designed to be flexible and extensible. The core is un-opinionated - all CSS utilities are provided via presets. It's a superset of Tailwind CSS, so you can reuse your Tailwind knowledge for basic syntax usage.

Important: Before writing UnoCSS code, agents should check for uno.config.* or unocss.config.* files in the project root to understand what presets, rules, and shortcuts are available. If the project setup is unclear, avoid using attributify mode and other advanced features - stick to basic class usage.

The skill is based on UnoCSS 66.x, generated at 2026-01-28.
