## What it is
FLOCSS is a CSS organization methodology that structures stylesheets into Foundation, Layout, and Object (Component/Project/Utility) layers, drawing on OOCSS, SMACSS, BEM, and SuitCSS concepts. It is a documented specification with naming conventions rather than a runnable library or framework.

## Use cases
- organize css for large projects
- structure stylesheets into layers
- apply bem naming conventions to css
- modular css architecture guidelines
- decide where css rules belong
- scale css across a team

## When to choose
- you want a layered, modular CSS architecture inspired by OOCSS, SMACSS, and BEM
- you need clear naming conventions and layer rules for a team's stylesheets
- you are designing a CSS style guide for a web project

## When to avoid
- you need an installable CSS framework with ready-made components
- you want utility-first CSS like Tailwind
- you need tooling or automation rather than a written methodology

## Facets

- function: css-framework, documentation
