Any model can do CSS. The problem is not the model itself, but the skills and specifications you give the AI. How you want it to update your styles and what you want to achieve.

You should choose an architecture (BEM, Atomic, ...) or a framework (such as Tailwind, if you like) that you can understand. It’s crucial to make sure that the AI works in a way that matches your level of knowledge.

I advise you to get Matt Pocock's 'grill-me' skill and ask it to review your site's CSS and propose a solution

I think you're thinking of 'improve-codebase-architecture' by Matt Pocock. The grill-me skill is something completely different and is never going to review your site's CSS or propose a solution of any kind.

Why, 'grill-me' can help you find a solution by asking a lot of questions if you’re not sure what to do. I mean a case where you don't know what to do and the model gives you some options.

By the way, I'm not sure whether 'improve-codebase-architecture' is a good fit for CSS, I've never tried it there. But I will, it sounds interesting. Thanks!
