As a tip - most LLMs are unaware it exists due to either knowledge cutoff or not having enough training data for it.
As a recommendation, include some examples of it in your AGENTS.md. Here's what I use:
--------------------------------------
## CSS nesting (required) When writing CSS (including component `css()` strings and `soci-frontend/soci.css`), *use modern CSS nesting* where it improves readability and reduces repetition.
- Prefer nesting with the `&` selector for pseudo-classes / pseudo-elements and compound selectors. - Avoid duplicating the parent selector when nesting can express it once. - Reference: [MDN `&` nesting selector](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/S...)
### Quick reference
#### Pseudo-classes / no-whitespace attachment
```css .button { color: var(--text);
&:hover {
color: var(--text-secondary);
}} ```
#### Pseudo-elements
```css .fade { position: relative;
&::after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
inset: 0;
}} ```
#### Descendant nesting (whitespace implied)
```css .card { padding: 12px;
.title {
font-weight: 600;
}} ```
#### “Reverse context” (`.featured .card`) using `&`
```css .card { .featured & { border-color: var(--brand-color); } }
