Lint CSS and SCSS files

SkillFiles & storage

styles-lint is an agent skill for linting CSS and SCSS files. When reviewing stylesheets, component styles, or responsive behavior, it guides the agent to set up Stylelint, check the rendered layout across breakpoints and interaction states, and flag exact selectors or declarations that violate the rule before proposing a fix.

Have a project with CSS or SCSS stylesheets to review.

Then ask your AI: use the Lint CSS and SCSS files skill

What your AI can do with it

  • Set up Stylelint with stylelint-config-standard for CSS linting
  • Add SCSS support via stylelint-config-standard-scss
  • Detect syntax errors and enforce consistent coding standards automatically
  • Enable auto-fix in editors and pre-commit hooks
  • Review component styles and responsive states, flagging violating selectors and breakpoint
  • Explain how CSS linting improves stylesheet maintainability

Getting started

  1. Have a project with CSS or SCSS stylesheets to review.
  2. Install Stylelint along with stylelint-config-standard, and stylelint-config-standard-scss if SCSS is used.
  3. Configure the Stylelint rules and enable auto-fix in your editor and pre-commit hooks.
  4. Add the linting step to your build or CI/CD pipeline so issues are caught early.
