# @stylable/core
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/stylable/core)
`@stylable/core` is at the center of how Stylable operates. It provides the basic capabilities required for Stylable to parse stylesheets and transform their output to valid plain CSS.
## Running Stylable
Follow these instructions in order to run Stylable in development mode, this allows you to run the package tests with hot-loading enabled.
1. Clone this repo
2. `cd stylable`
3. `npm i`
4. `cd ./packages/stylable`
5. `npm start`
6. Open your browser to [`http://localhost:8080/tests.bundle`](http://localhost:8080/tests.bundle)
## How it works
Stylable's workflow contains two main parts that together perform the CSS transpilation.
- `stylable-processor` - Parses each `stylesheet` separately into its own AST ([abstract syntax tree](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_syntax_tree), extracting the required data without any resolution of dependencies in other files.
- `stylable-transformer` - Processes each stylesheet using the previously created data including other file dependencies. Transforms our Stylable CSS into vanilla CSS.
