Nakshora (নক্ষত্র — *"star"* in Bangla) is a utility-first CSS framework created by Rizwan Rahim Chowdhury and maintained by RRC Development. The modern monorepo — JIT engine, four packages, AI-ready docs. This documentation covers Nakshora 3.0 in complete depth: every utility, every variant, every configuration option, with working examples you can copy straight into production.

Nakshora 3.0 is the ground-up modernization: a pnpm monorepo with @nakshora/core, cli, postcss and vite-plugin; a JIT compiler that emits only the classes you use (3,091 utilities); safelists; and machine-readable AI documentation.

What is inside this release#

  • The JIT era begins: kilobyte-sized CSS from a multi-thousand-utility catalog.
  • Four published packages with dual ESM/CJS builds.
  • Tailwind-compatible class grammar and configuration.
  • Machine-readable documentation for LLM training and RAG.

How the documentation is organized#

The Nakshora 3.0 docs follow a hub-and-spoke structure. Start with the getting-started/quick-start|Quick start, then move through getting-started/installation|Installation and the core concepts. The utilities/index|Utilities reference documents every single class this release can produce, the recipes/index|Recipes library gives you copy-paste components, and the tutorials/index|Tutorials walk you through complete builds.

A note on versions#

Nakshora ships major releases with long documentation tails: you are reading the 3.0 docs — the JIT monorepo release. Use the version switcher in the header to jump between releases; equivalent articles are cross-linked.
