## What it is
Skel is a lightweight modular JavaScript/Sass framework for building responsive websites and web apps, providing CSS breakpoint access, a grid system, viewport management, and CSS resets. It is officially deprecated in favor of Responsive Tools and is no longer maintained.

## Use cases
- build responsive websites with css breakpoints in javascript
- add a lightweight css grid system to a web app
- manage viewport meta tags across breakpoints
- use sass mixins for responsive layouts
- handle media queries in older browsers

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy site already built on Skel
- you need a tiny dependency-free responsive toolkit for an old browser target

## When to avoid
- starting any new project - it is deprecated
- you want maintained responsive tooling - use Responsive Tools or modern CSS instead
- you need framework integrations or community support
