== Summary ==
The goal of the Style Doctor is to answer the question "why doesn't this look the way I expected it to?" as quickly as possible.
CSS rule precedence is complex and little understood and the Style Doctor will help users get their layouts working 'and' help them learn precedence at the same time.
== Team ==
Have ideas on solving this problem well? Do you know the dark, secret rules of CSS? Join us on #devtools on irc.mozilla.org, dev-apps-firefox or in our weekly devtools call and help out!

* '''QA''': TBD
* '''UX''': TBD
* '''Security''': TBD
== Release Requirements ==
* integrates with nodes selected via the Highlighter, GCLI or other means
* can provide answers for a "substantial" set of node/rule combos.
== Next Steps ==
* test page with examples that test each rule
* need the same thing working as a traditional addon
* enough rules to produce interesting results (perhaps ~15)
** click around and get a sensible answer for many cases
** those selectors don't match
** everything is actually fine, the rule did apply
== Open Issues ==
* can this work with multiple selected nodes?
== Related Bugs & Dependencies ==
* Source [https://github.com/joewalker/csstools at Github]. At some stage we should move this back into Moz/HG.
