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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
