## What it is
Cayman is a clean, responsive Jekyll theme designed for GitHub Pages sites. It is distributed as a Ruby gem and configurable via _config.yml with support for custom styles and layouts.

## Use cases
- style a GitHub Pages project site
- make my Jekyll blog look clean and responsive
- theme for project documentation on GitHub Pages
- quickly set up a nice-looking static site
- customize a Jekyll theme with my own SCSS

## When to choose
- you host a site on GitHub Pages and want a maintained default theme
- you want a simple, responsive documentation or project page with minimal setup
- you prefer configuring via _config.yml rather than writing CSS from scratch

## When to avoid
- you need a highly custom design beyond overriding styles and layouts
- you don't use Jekyll or GitHub Pages
- you need features like dark mode or multi-page navigation out of the box

- function: templating, css-framework, static-site-generator
