Bourbon uses Sass’s SCSS syntax and aligns to thoughtbot’s style guides. High-level notes:

Use two-space indentation (no tabs).
Use double quotation marks.
Use hyphens when naming things: hide-visually rather than hide_visually or hideVisually.
Use one space between property and value: width: 20px rather than width:20px.
Names should be descriptive and aim for clarity over brevity: $all-text-inputs-hover rather than $inputshover or $alltxthvr.
Order CSS declarations alphabetically.
No trailing whitespace.

We use SassDoc to document Bourbon. Annotations should be ordered:
