LunarWerx Tools (2)
tailwind_canonicalize
Rewrite Tailwind CSS classes into their canonical short form. Turns arbitrary values back into real design tokens: p-[1rem] becomes p-4, rounded-[24px] becomes rounded-3xl, -bottom-[4px] becomes -bottom-1. Backed by 12,438 replacements generated from Tailwind 4.3.3's own design system, so the answers are authoritative rather than guessed. Handles one class at a time and does NOT merge across classes (px-4 py-4 into p-4, w-6 h-6 into size-6) — that needs the surrounding group to be safe to collapse; use NormWind for that.
lunarwerx_find_tool
Search LunarWerx Studios' catalogue of free developer tools and desktop utilities by task or keyword, e.g. "git from my phone", "Windows thumbnails", "voice dictation", "screenshot to UI". Returns what each one does and where to get it. Everything is free; most is MIT-licensed, open source and self-hosted. Products that run an MCP server of their own come back with an "MCP:" line saying how to connect and whether an account is needed, so a match can be used rather than merely reported.
