## What it is
Typewind is a typesafe, zero-runtime wrapper around Tailwind CSS that lets you write Tailwind classes as TypeScript expressions via a `tw` proxy. A Babel/SWC compiler plugin statically converts these expressions into plain Tailwind class strings at build time, leaving no runtime code.

## Use cases
- write tailwind classes with typescript type safety
- get autocomplete for tailwind classes without editor extensions
- eliminate tailwind runtime overhead with zero bundle size
- apply tailwind variants to multiple styles at once
- generate tailwind types from my tailwind config
- catch invalid tailwind class names at compile time

## When to choose
- you use Tailwind CSS in a TypeScript project and want compile-time class validation and autocomplete
- you want zero-runtime styling with no bundle size cost
- you want variant composition (hover, dark, responsive) with an intuitive chained syntax
- you use Next.js, Vite, SolidStart, or other Babel/SWC-based build tools

## When to avoid
- your project uses plain JavaScript without TypeScript
- your build pipeline doesn't support Babel or SWC transforms
- you rely on tooling that expects literal class strings in source files (e.g. some Tailwind scanners or class-sorting tools)
- you prefer the standard Tailwind class string syntax and its ecosystem of extensions
