## What it is
stylefmt is a CLI tool that automatically formats CSS and CSS-like stylesheets (including SCSS) according to stylelint rules, powered by PostCSS. It normalizes spacing, indentation, and brace placement so stylesheets are consistent and diffs stay clean.

## Use cases
- format css files automatically
- format scss according to stylelint config
- enforce consistent stylesheet formatting across a team
- clean up messy css indentation and spacing
- format modern css syntax like custom properties and nesting
- replace manual css style debates with automated formatting

## When to choose
- you have an existing stylefmt-based workflow and stylelint config it already understands
- you need formatting driven directly by your .stylelintrc rules

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use stylelint --fix or Prettier instead, as the README itself recommends
- you need actively maintained tooling or recent bug fixes
- you format languages beyond CSS/SCSS/Less
