What is Tailwind de-bloating?

Tailwind de-bloating means converting long utility class strings into semantic class-based CSS so components stay readable and easier to maintain at scale.

Will this replace Tailwind in my project?

No. It helps teams selectively migrate specific components from utility-heavy markup to semantic CSS, especially in production hardening phases.

Why are some utilities unmapped?

Some advanced variants and plugin classes are intentionally left as manual-review hints to avoid incorrect CSS generation.

Why teams use semantic CSS after Tailwind prototypes

Utility-first styling is fast early on, but mature codebases often need clearer domain semantics. De-bloating helps teams retain visual behavior while making component markup smaller and easier to audit during refactors.

De-bloat workflow

Paste JSX/HTML containing Tailwind classes.
Generate a semantic class and copy the CSS block.
Replace utility strings with your new class in component markup.
Resolve flagged unmapped utilities manually for accuracy.
