Why use cascade layers?

Layers let you organize reset, library, component, and utility styles with an explicit order.

The first layer order declaration wins for those named layers, so a later file cannot silently reorder the system.

Layer precedence is separate from selector specificity, which makes overrides easier to reason about.

Cascade layer questions

What order should I use?

A common starting point is reset, base, components, utilities; choose the order that matches your project contract.

Can I rename the layers?

Yes. Names are project vocabulary, so use terms your team will recognize.

Does this add my existing rules?

No. It gives you the structure; paste each existing rule into its matching named block.
