+
+Quick reference for common Stylix patterns.
+
+---
+
+## Basic Styling
+
+```tsx
+import $ from '@stylix/core';
+
+// Style props on HTML elements
+<$.div color="red" font-size={16} margin={12}>
+  Content
+</$.div>
+
+// Both formats work: hyphenated or camelCase
+<$.div font-weight="bold" />
+<$.div fontWeight="bold" />
+
+// Numeric values get 'px' automatically (except unitless props)
+<$.div margin={12} />        // margin: 12px
+<$.div line-height={1.5} />  // line-height: 1.5 (unitless)
+```
+
+---
+
+## The `$css` Prop
+
+Use `$css` for pseudo-classes, selectors, media queries, and complex styles.
+
+```tsx
+<$.div
+  $css={{
+    // Pseudo-classes
+    '&:hover': { color: 'blue' },
+    '&:focus': { outline: '2px solid blue' },
+    '&:active': { transform: 'scale(0.98)' },
+
+    // Pseudo-elements
+    '&::before': { content: '"→ "' },
+    '&::after': { content: '""', display: 'block' },
+
+    // Descendant selectors
+    'p': { margin: 0 },
+    '.child-class': { color: 'red' },
+    '& > span': { fontWeight: 'bold' },
+
+    // Media queries
+    '@media (max-width: 600px)': {
+      fontSize: 14
+    },
+
+    // Container queries
+    '@container (min-width: 400px)': {
+      display: 'grid'
+    },
+
+    // Cascade layers
+    '@layer myLayer': {
+      color: 'purple'
+    }
+  }}
+/>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Responsive Styles (Media Objects)
+
+### Setup in Provider
+
+Define keywords that map to style wrappers. These can be breakpoints, theme modes, or any condition:
+
+```tsx
+import $, { StylixProvider } from '@stylix/core';
+
+<StylixProvider
+  media={{
+    // Breakpoints
+    mobile: styles => ({ '@media (max-width: 480px)': styles }),
+    tablet: styles => ({ '@media (max-width: 1024px)': styles }),
+    // Theme modes (assumes data-theme attribute on html/body)
+    dark: styles => ({ '[data-theme="dark"] &': styles }),
+    light: styles => ({ '[data-theme="light"] &': styles }),
+  }}
+>
+  <App />
+</StylixProvider>
+```
+
+### Usage
+
+```tsx
+// On individual props
+<$.div
+  font-size={{ default: 16, tablet: 14, mobile: 12 }}
+  padding={{ default: 24, mobile: 12 }}
+/>
+
+// In $css
+<$.div
+  $css={{
+    display: 'flex',
+    flexDirection: 'row',
+    mobile: { flexDirection: 'column' }
+  }}
+/>
+
+// Nested combinations (e.g., dark mode + mobile)
+<$.div
+  color={{
+    dark: {
+      default: '#e8e8e8',  // dark mode default
+      mobile: '#fff'       // dark mode on mobile
+    }
+  }}
+/>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Styled Components
+
+### Basic Pattern
+
+```tsx
+import $, { StylixProps } from '@stylix/core';
+
+function Button({ children, ...styles }: StylixProps & { children: React.ReactNode }) {
+  return (
+    <$.button
+      padding="10px 20px"
+      border="none"
+      cursor="pointer"
+      {...styles}
+    >
+      {children}
+    </$.button>
+  );
+}
+
+// Usage - can override any style
+<Button color="white" background="blue">Click me</Button>
+```
+
+### With Variants
+
+```tsx
+interface ButtonProps extends StylixProps {
+  variant?: 'primary' | 'secondary';
+  children: React.ReactNode;
+}
+
+function Button({ variant = 'primary', children, ...styles }: ButtonProps) {
+  return (
+    <$.button
+      padding="10px 20px"
+      background={variant === 'primary' ? 'blue' : 'gray'}
+      color="white"
+      {...styles}
+    >
+      {children}
+    </$.button>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Allowing Style Overrides via `$css`
+
+```tsx
+function Card({ $css, ...props }: StylixProps) {
+  return (
+    <$.div
+      $css={[
+        {
+          padding: 16,
+          borderRadius: 8,
+          '&:hover': { boxShadow: '0 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)' }
+        },
+        $css  // Parent overrides come last
+      ]}
+      {...props}
+    />
+  );
+}
+
+// Parent can override anything:
+<Card $css={{ '&:hover': { boxShadow: 'none' } }} />
+```
+
+---
+
+## Arrays in `$css`
+
+Arrays merge styles with later values taking precedence:
+
+```tsx
+<$.div
+  $css={[
+    { color: 'red', fontSize: 16 },
+    { color: 'blue' },  // Overrides red
+    condition && { fontWeight: 'bold' },  // Conditional
+  ]}
+/>
+// Result: color: blue, fontSize: 16, fontWeight: bold (if condition)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Keyframe Animations
+
+```tsx
+import { useKeyframes } from '@stylix/core';
+
+function Spinner() {
+  // Accepts any valid CSS keyframes (from/to, percentages, etc.)
+  const spin = useKeyframes({
+    from: { transform: 'rotate(0deg)' },
+    to: { transform: 'rotate(360deg)' }
+    // e.g., '0%, 100%': { ... }, '50%': { ... }
+  });
+
+  return (
+    <$.div animation={`${spin} 1s linear infinite`} />
+  );
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Global Styles
+
+> **Note:** Global styles are only applied while the component is mounted. Use sparingly—primarily when you need media keywords or plugin capabilities. For static styles (resets, base typography), use a plain CSS file instead.
+
+```tsx
+import { useGlobalStyles } from '@stylix/core';
+
+// Good use case: responsive global styles using media keywords
+function ResponsiveTypography() {
+  useGlobalStyles({
+    h1: { fontSize: { default: 32, mobile: 24 } },
+    h2: { fontSize: { default: 24, mobile: 20 } },
+    body: { fontSize: { default: 16, mobile: 14 } }
+  });
+  return null;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Using with Custom Components
+
+### With `$el`
+
+Pass an element instance. Stylix adds a `className` prop, so the component must support it.
+
+```tsx
+import MyComponent from './MyComponent';
+
+<$ $el={<MyComponent someProp="value" />} color="red" padding={16} />
+```
+
+### With `$render`
+
+```tsx
+<$
+  color="red"
+  padding={16}
+  $render={(className, props) => (
+    <MyComponent className={className} {...props} />
+  )}
+/>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Cascade Layers
+
+Control specificity for parent/child overrides:
+
+```tsx
+// Child component defines a layer
+const Widget = (props) => (
+  <$.div
+    $css={[
+      {
+        '@layer WidgetStyles': {
+          '&:hover:not(.disabled)': { color: 'red' }
+        }
+      },
+      props.$css
+    ]}
+  />
+);
+
+// Parent can override despite lower specificity
+<Widget $css={{ color: 'blue' }} />
+
+// Explicit layer ordering
+$css={{
+  '@layer': 'base, components, overrides',
+  '@layer overrides': { color: 'green' }
+}}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Utilities
+
+### `cx()` - Class Names
+
+```tsx
+import { cx } from '@stylix/core';
+
+cx('foo', 'bar')                    // 'foo bar'
+cx('a', false, 'b')                 // 'a b'
+cx({ active: true, disabled: false }) // 'active'
+cx(['a', 'b'], 'c')                 // 'a b c'
+```
+
+---
+
+## Quick Type Reference
+
+```tsx
+import $, {
+  StylixProps,           // All CSS props + $css
+  StylixHTMLProps,       // CSS props + HTML element props
+  StylixStyles,          // Style object type
+  StylixValue,           // Value or media object
+  Extends,               // Merge prop types
+} from '@stylix/core';
+
+// Extend for custom components
+type MyProps = Extends<StylixProps, { variant: 'a' | 'b' }>;
+
+// HTML-specific props
+type InputProps = StylixHTMLProps<'input'>;
+```
+
+---
+
+## Unitless Properties
+
+These properties remain unitless when given numeric values:
+
+```
+aspect-ratio, column-count, columns, fill-opacity, flex, flex-grow,
+flex-shrink, font-weight, line-height, opacity, order, orphans,
+stroke-opacity, widows, z-index, zoom
+```
+
+All other numeric values receive `px` automatically.
