If I understand you correctly, it should be sufficient to just include the SCSS from `node_modules` in an entrypoint SCSS file:

> When using [bud.alias](https://bud.js.org/docs/bud.alias/) with SCSS (SASS) ([bud-sass](https://bud.js.org/extensions/bud-sass/)), you can use the alias functions by prefixing them with a tilde sign (~), like so (note: ~@images used in the example is a predefined alias [added by @roots/sage](https://bud.js.org/docs/bud.alias/#rootssage)): .test { background: url("~@images/background/test.jpg"); } Without that tilde sign (~) the path isn’t correctly interpolated when compiling the SCSS.
