clean-css
CSS optimizer that minifies and rewrites stylesheets for Node.js and for use in a browser.
clean-css.github.io/repository
clean-css is a CSS optimizer for stylesheets. The README says it runs on Node.js and in browsers, and the install step adds it to a project as a development dependency. Third-party plugins connect it to other build tools, while the command-line tool ships as the separate clean-css-cli package.
Worth knowing
The README says the project is in maintenance mode. Pull requests are still accepted, and the maintainer intends an occasional bugfix release.
