What it means in plain language
Tailwind CSS is a class-based framework that allows you to build an interface directly in the HTML structure while maintaining a consistent design system.
Where it genuinely helps
Tailwind CSS composes interfaces from utility classes, enabling consistent delivery while allowing markup clutter without clear rules.
What to decide before acting
Define tokens, components and exceptions and decide when a repeated pattern should become a component.
How to tell whether it works
Monitor CSS size, contrast, focus and hover states, class duplication and build coverage for dynamic names.
