Token Governance Engine

Identifies raw values and enforces token usage to maintain system consistency

What's the problem

Design files often drift away from the design system through raw values, disconnected styles, and inconsistent token usage.


Common issues include:

  • Raw colors instead of variables
  • Missing typography styles
  • Hardcoded corner radius values
  • Inconsistent spacing and padding
  • Components disconnected from token systems

These issues reduce consistency and create additional QA effort before developer handoff.

What this plugin does

The workflow highlights layers that are not aligned with semantic token structures and surfaces actionable fixes before developer handoff.

Key capabilities

  • Detects raw color usage
  • Detects missing typography tokens
  • Detects raw corner radius values
  • Validates spacing and padding consistency
  • Highlights disconnected token bindings
  • Surfaces problematic layers visually inside Figma
Built to improve token adoption and design consistency directly within Figma.

What changes

Before

  • Manual design QA
  • Raw values across files
  • Inconsistent spacing and styles
  • Disconnected token usage

After

  • Automated token validation
  • Clear issue visibility inside Figma
  • Consistent semantic token adoption
  • More reliable developer handoff

Output

Validation workflows that help teams create interfaces that are:

  • Token-driven
  • Visually consistent
  • Implementation-ready
  • Easier to maintain

The workflow surfaces actionable fixes before development handoff.

Why it matters

Improves design quality and consistency by helping teams validate token usage early in the workflow — reducing implementation gaps and manual QA before handoff.
