css-nesting

css-nesting is a skill for Claude Code from fubits1/svelte-skills. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,760 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for converting flat CSS selectors into nested CSS while keeping style checks satisfied. CSS nesting lets related selectors be written inside one another, and specificity describes how strongly a selector targets an element.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when nesting CSS with the ampersand selector, fixing descending-specificity errors, or restructuring CSS without creating duplicate resolved selectors.
Why use it?
It helps avoid selector-order conflicts and duplicate selectors that can make styles fail lint checks or behave unexpectedly after a refactor.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

css-nesting scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CSS Nesting with Stylelint Compliance

Flat-to-nested CSS conversion breaks when done incrementally because each edit shifts specificity ordering, triggering cascading linter errors. This skill prevents that by requiring upfront analysis before any edits.

When This Applies

  • Converting flat CSS selectors to nested & syntax
  • Fixing no-descending-specificity or no-duplicate-selectors errors after nesting
  • Any CSS restructuring that changes selector source order

The Two Rules You Must Satisfy

no-descending-specificity

Selectors matching the same DOM element must appear in ascending specificity order in source. A .foo (0,1,0) appearing after .bar:hover .foo (0,3,0) is an error because both can match a .foo element.

Selectors matching different elements don't conflict regardless of order.

no-duplicate-selectors

Two rule blocks resolving to the same selector are forbidden. Nesting changes resolved selectors: & .child inside .parent resolves to .parent .child. A second .parent block is a duplicate even if the contents differ.

Exception: the same selector inside vs outside a @media block is allowed (different parent nodes).

The Workflow

Step 1: Map the DOM hierarchy

Write out the parent-child nesting from the HTML template:

.container
  .wrapper
    .item
      .label

Step 2: List every selector with its specificity

For each selector in the flat CSS, calculate specificity and note which DOM element it matches:

.wrapper              (0,1,0)  matches .wrapper
.wrapper:hover        (0,2,0)  matches .wrapper
.item                 (0,1,0)  matches .item
.wrapper:hover .item  (0,3,0)  matches .item
.label                (0,1,0)  matches .label
.container:has(:hover) .wrapper:not(:has(:hover))  (0,4,0)  matches .wrapper

Step 3: Group by target element and sort ascending

For each element, the selectors that match it must appear in ascending specificity order in the final source:
