Note
This is a community-driven successor to the Pico CSS framework with a few simple goals:
- Maintain
picominimally until its creator returns. - Focus exclusively on the
pico.cssversion, similar to how simple.css is maintained (for Sass version check @Yohn's fork instead). - Keep all non-original additions in blades.css, shipped as
pico.blades.css— a drop-in compatible replacement forpico.css.
List of @anyblades/pico fixes for @picocss/pico issues:
A minimalist and lightweight starter kit that prioritizes semantic syntax, making every HTML element responsive and elegant by default.
Write HTML, Add Pico CSS, and Voilà!
Pico v2.0 features better accessibility, easier maintenance with modern CSS customization with SASS, a complete color palette, a new group component, and 20 precompiled color themes totaling over 100 combinations accessible via CDN.
With just the right amount of everything, Pico is great starting point for a clean and lightweight design system.

There are 4 ways to get started with pico.css:
Download Pico and link /css/pico.min.css in the <head> of your website.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/pico.min.css" />Or even Pico+Blades version instead:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/pico.blades.min.css" />Alternatively, you can use jsDelivr CDN to link pico.css.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@anyblades/pico@^2.2.0-alpha/css/pico.min.css
"/>Or Pico+Blades:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@anyblades/pico@^2.2.0-alpha/css/pico.blades.min.css
"/>npm install @anyblades/picoThen, import Pico into your CSS SCSS file with @use:
@import "pico";<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/pico.min.css">
<!-- or Pico+Blades together:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/pico.blades.min.css">
-->
<title>Hello world!</title>
</head>
<body>
<main class="container">
<h1>Hello world!</h1>
</main>
</body>
</html>Pico CSS can be used without custom CSS for quick or small projects. However, it’s designed as a starting point, like a “reset CSS on steroids”. As Pico does not integrate many helpers or utility .classes, it requires CSS knowledge to build large projects.
