## What it is
Headwind is an opinionated Tailwind CSS class sorter for Visual Studio Code that enforces consistent class ordering by parsing code and reprinting class tags. It runs on save, removes duplicate classes, and can sort entire workspaces.

## Use cases
- sort tailwind css classes in vscode
- enforce consistent tailwind class ordering on save
- remove duplicate tailwind classes from my code
- sort tailwind classes across an entire workspace
- customize tailwind class sort order
- format tailwind classes in jsx and html files

## When to choose
- you use Tailwind CSS in VS Code and want automatic, consistent class ordering
- you want duplicate class removal and workspace-wide sorting
- you need customizable class order and regex-based class detection

## When to avoid
- you don't use Tailwind CSS
- you use an editor other than VS Code (unless using the PHPStorm port)
- you need a general-purpose CSS formatter rather than a Tailwind class sorter

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: formatter, developer-tools
- domain: frontend, web-development, developer-tools, text-editors
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform
- tags: tailwindcss, vscode-extension, class-sorter, css, linting
