LEDGERMACHINE

LM-SPACE-001

Find off-scale spacing values in CSS

A rare undeclared spacing value lands near a token or frequently repeated step.

What Ledgermachine reports

Spacing is close to an established step

Decision, not automatic repair

Snap it to the scale unless geometry, optical alignment, or an external asset requires the offset.

Source example

What this finding can look like

The exact candidate comes from the project’s own tokens and repeated values. This example shows the shape of the issue, not a universal replacement.

Flagged source
.card { padding: 15px; }
One possible resolution
:root { --space-4: 16px; }
.card { padding: var(--space-4); }

Resolution workflow

Fix the source without erasing intent

  1. Inspect

    Review every reported occurrence and the established candidates Ledgermachine found in the same project.

  2. Decide

    Snap it to the scale unless geometry, optical alignment, or an external asset requires the offset.

  3. Verify

    Make the change in your editor or coding agent, then rescan. Ledgermachine stays read-only and records whether the finding cleared.

Run it on your source
