## What it is
SC5 Styleguide is a Node.js tool that generates good-looking living styleguides from stylesheets using KSS notation. It can be run as a CLI utility or as a Gulp/Grunt task, and includes a designer tool for live style tweaking.

## Use cases
- generate a styleguide from css comments
- document design system components with KSS notation
- create a living style guide from sass stylesheets
- run a styleguide server for designers
- generate html documentation for css components

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Node 4/6 project already using KSS and gulp
- you want a quick KSS-based styleguide with a built-in designer tool

## When to avoid
- you use modern Node.js versions (the tool targets Node 4.2/6.9)
- you want an actively maintained styleguide tool
- you use modern bundlers instead of gulp/grunt

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: documentation, templating, static-site-generator
- domain: web-development, frontend, documentation, developer-tools
- platform: cli
