SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the auditing of Figma variable collections, ensuring they adhere to best practices for token architecture and are ready for potential migration to code-based systems like DTCG.

Core Features & Use Cases

Figma Variable Auditing: Analyzes variable collections for naming conventions, tier structure, alias chains, and mode coverage.
DTCG Readiness: Assesses preparedness for migration to Design Token Community Group (DTCG) standards.
Use Case: A design system team can use this Skill to regularly check their Figma variables for inconsistencies, identify potential issues before they impact development, and ensure alignment between design tokens in Figma and code.

FAQPage Schema

How do I audit Figma variables for design token architecture compliance?▼

You can audit Figma variables by analyzing collections against three-tier token architecture principles to identify structural issues. This process checks naming conventions, alias chains, mode coverage, and DTCG readiness using a live Figma connection or exported JSON data.

What is three-tier token architecture in Figma variable collections?▼

Three-tier token architecture is a structural principle for organizing design tokens into reference, system, and component tiers. Auditing against this architecture identifies structural issues in naming conventions, alias chains, and mode coverage to ensure scalable variable collections.

How do I check my Figma variables for DTCG readiness?▼

Checking DTCG readiness involves assessing Figma variable collections for alignment with Design Token Community Group standards. The audit evaluates naming conventions and structural architecture to determine preparedness for migrating design tokens to code-based systems.

Can I audit Figma variables using exported JSON data?▼

Yes, you can audit Figma variables using exported JSON data as an alternative to a live Figma connection. The analysis assesses naming conventions, alias chains, mode coverage, and DTCG readiness from the provided JSON variable collections.

What is the best way to identify structural issues in Figma design tokens?▼

The best way to identify structural issues in Figma design tokens is to audit variable collections against three-tier token architecture principles. This detects inconsistencies in alias chains and mode coverage, providing remediation guidance before tokens impact development.
