CSS Development: Refactor

About

Streamlines the transition from utility-heavy or inline styling to a clean, semantic component architecture. This skill helps developers identify repeated CSS patterns, consolidate them into reusable semantic classes using Tailwind's @apply directive, and automatically incorporate dark mode support. By following a systematic refactoring workflow—from pattern analysis to visual verification—it ensures styling remains consistent across the codebase while significantly reducing markup bloat and improving long-term maintainability through behavior-neutral updates.

Key Features

• Identifies consolidation opportunities by checking against existing component libraries
• Extracts repeated utility class combinations into semantic CSS components
• Implements behavior-neutral refactoring to preserve the original visual output
• 3 GitHub stars
• Automatically adds dark mode variants for backgrounds, text, and borders
• Generates static CSS and component rendering tests to ensure structural integrity

Use Cases

• Migrating from utility-first markup to a semantic component-based design system
• Retrofitting existing components with dark mode support and automated test coverage
• Cleaning up legacy technical debt and scattered inline styles across large projects
