## What it is
JSCS is a JavaScript code style checker that lints and can auto-fix code against configurable style guides, with built-in presets like Airbnb. It has been unmaintained since merging with ESLint, which absorbed its functionality.

## Use cases
- check javascript code style against a style guide
- automatically fix code style errors
- lint es6 jsx and flow code
- generate a code style config from existing code
- enforce consistent code style in a project

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy project already configured with JSCS
- referencing its rules or presets historically

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use ESLint instead
- needing maintained tooling or community support
- requiring modern JavaScript syntax support

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: abandoned
- function: linter, formatter, cli
- domain: developer-tools, web-development
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: javascript, code-style, unmaintained, eslint-merge, nodejs
