KSS (Knyle Style Sheets) is a documentation specification for CSS plus a Ruby library that parses KSS-documented SASS, SCSS, and CSS files. It enables teams to write maintainable, commented CSS and auto-generate living styleguides from those comments.
Use cases
- generate a living styleguide from CSS comments
- document CSS components in a team
- parse KSS comments from SCSS files
- build a design system reference site
- extract modifier descriptions from stylesheets
When to choose
- you maintain a Ruby/Rails app and want styleguides generated from CSS comments
- you want a lightweight documentation convention rather than a full CSS framework
When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained tool - the last release was 2017
- you are not using Ruby, since this repo only ships a Ruby parser
- you want a modern alternative like kss-node or a full design-system tool
