Lints every stylesheet with the standard stylelint rules: unknown properties, overridden selectors, and invalid values.

Part of the [`css`](/reference/configurations/css/) configuration, at the `recommended` [level](/start/concepts/#levels). It runs at the `commit` [stage](/start/concepts/#stage), per file. It runs stylelint. `gspot check --fix` fixes what it can.

## Why

A browser silently skips a declaration it cannot parse, so a typo in a property ships as a missing style.

## What to do

Run `gspot check --fix` for the rules that fix themselves. Turn one rule off with `gspot ignore css/stylelint --rule <name> --reason "<why>"`.

## Example

The declaration `color: #ggg` holds an invalid hex value and reports a finding. Replace it with a valid one such as `#abc`.

## Turn it off

Turn it off for some files, or one of its lint rules, with a reason:

```shell
gspot ignore css/stylelint --paths "<glob>" --reason "<why>"
gspot ignore css/stylelint --rule <rule> --reason "<why>"
```

To silence one place, write a comment such as:

```text
/* stylelint-disable-next-line declaration-no-important -- the vendor widget sets its own color */
```
