🎄 Happy holidays!
You can now import CSS custom properties into Engramma and get a flat list of design tokens, making it easier to migrate existing projects to standard format.

✂️ Knip Extension v1.0.0 is out
For VS Code + Open VSX (e.g. Cursor)
▶️ Install the Knip extension, tell your coding agent to "configure knip" or "fix up knip config" and... profit!
Comes with MCP Server + custom guides + incremental docs for a generated A+ Knip config ✨
Clean code — redefined.

I just tried it, it's amazing. It makes me want to walk around my codebase clicking on the links. It's fast and accurate. Amazing job!
It also pushed me to finally create a global knip config (instead of 1 per workspace), and this also works amazingly well.

(btw `pnpm run` is fine, but single-workspace only and still uses `npm publish`)

✂️ Did a search for "knip" on Twitter. Interesting to see the positive discourse going on over there (and on LinkedIn as well), while there isn't much of that on here except by myself. All good, but clearly time to back off a bit ❤️

- Coding agents are fine, but take responsibility and don't cause unnecessary review and "wall of text" overhead
- Vibe-coded PRs may be rejected without explanation
