+ # Design System Automation — Figma Plugin
2
+
3
+ Import design tokens into Figma and auto-generate a visual spec page. Works with W3C DTCG format (from the Design System Automation app) and legacy JSON formats.
4
+
5
+ ![Figma Plugin](https://img.shields.io/badge/Figma-Plugin-ff7262) ![Version](https://img.shields.io/badge/version-7.0-blue) ![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-green)
6
+
7
+ ---
8
+
9
+ ## What It Does
10
+
11
+ Upload a JSON file with your design tokens. The plugin creates:
12
+
13
+ - **Figma Variables** — Color, number, and string variable collections
14
+ - **Paint Styles** — Every color as a reusable Figma paint style
15
+ - **Text Styles** — Typography with font family, size, weight, and line height
16
+ - **Effect Styles** — Shadows as Figma effect styles
17
+ - **Visual Spec Page** — Auto-generated frames showing all your tokens organized by category, with AA compliance badges on every color
18
+
19
+ The plugin auto-detects whether your JSON uses the **W3C DTCG format** (`$value`, `$type`) or a **legacy format** (`value`, `type`) and handles both.
20
+
21
+ ---
22
+
23
+ ## Quick Setup (5 Minutes)
24
+
25
+ ### 1. Download the plugin
26
+
27
+ Clone this repo or download just the `figma-plugin/` folder. You need these three files:
28
+
29
+ ```
30
+ figma-plugin/
31
+ manifest.json
32
+ src/code.js
33
+ ui/ui.html
34
+ ```
35
+
36
+ ### 2. Load into Figma
37
+
38
+ 1. Open **Figma** (desktop app)
39
+ 2. Go to **Plugins** > **Development** > **Import plugin from manifest...**
40
+ 3. Select the `manifest.json` file from this folder
41
+ 4. Done — the plugin is now available under **Plugins > Development**
42
+
43
+ ### 3. Run it
44
+
45
+ 1. Open any Figma file (or create a new one)
46
+ 2. Go to **Plugins** > **Development** > **Design System Automation — Token Importer**
47
+ 3. Upload your JSON file or paste JSON directly
48
+ 4. Click **"Apply to Document"**
49
+ 5. Check the **Assets** panel — all your styles and variables are created
50
+
51
+ ---
52
+
53
+ ## How to Get Your Token JSON
54
+
55
+ ### Option A: Use the Design System Automation App (Recommended)
56
+
57
+ 1. Go to the [Design System Automation app](https://huggingface.co/spaces/riazmo/Design-System-Automation)
58
+ 2. Enter any website URL
59
+ 3. Click Extract — the app analyzes the site and extracts all design tokens
60
+ 4. Download the **AS-IS JSON** (W3C DTCG format)
61
+ 5. Upload it to this plugin
62
+
63
+ ### Option B: Create JSON Manually
64
+
65
+ The plugin accepts two formats:
66
+
67
+ **W3C DTCG Format** (recommended — output from the app):
68
+ ```json
69
+ {
70
+ "color": {
71
+ "brand": {
72
+ "primary": {
73
+ "$type": "color",
74
+ "$value": "#0066ff",
75
+ "$description": "Primary brand color"
76
+ }
77
+ },
78
+ "text": {
79
+ "primary": {
80
+ "$type": "color",
81
+ "$value": "#1a1a1a"
82
+ }
83
+ }
84
+ },
85
+ "font": {
86
+ "heading": {
87
+ "lg": {
88
+ "$type": "typography",
89
+ "$value": {
90
+ "fontFamily": "Inter",
91
+ "fontSize": "32px",
92
+ "fontWeight": "700",
93
+ "lineHeight": "1.3"
94
+ }
95
+ }
96
+ }
97
+ },
98
+ "spacing": {
99
+ "md": {
100
+ "$type": "dimension",
101
+ "$value": "16px"
102
+ }
103
+ },
104
+ "radius": {
105
+ "md": {
106
+ "$type": "dimension",
107
+ "$value": "8px"
108
+ }
109
+ },
110
+ "shadow": {
111
+ "sm": {
112
+ "$type": "shadow",
113
+ "$value": {
114
+ "offsetX": "0px",
115
+ "offsetY": "2px",
116
+ "blur": "8px",
117
+ "spread": "0px",
118
+ "color": "#00000026"
119
+ }
120
+ }
121
+ }
122
+ }
123
+ ```
124
+
125
+ **Legacy Format** (also supported):
126
+ ```json
127
+ {
128
+ "global": {
129
+ "colors": {
130
+ "primary": { "value": "#0066ff", "type": "color" },
131
+ "secondary": { "value": "#ff007f", "type": "color" }
132
+ },
133
+ "typography": {
134
+ "heading": {
135
+ "value": {
136
+ "fontFamily": "Inter",
137
+ "fontWeight": "700",
138
+ "fontSize": "32px",
139
+ "lineHeight": "1.3"
140
+ },
141
+ "type": "typography"
142
+ }
143
+ },
144
+ "spacing": {
145
+ "md": { "value": "16px", "type": "spacing" }
146
+ }
147
+ }
148
+ }
149
+ ```
150
+
151
+ ---
152
+
153
+ ## The Visual Spec Page
154
+
155
+ After importing, the plugin generates a visual spec page with separate frames for each token category:
156
+
157
+ ```
158
+ +------------------------------------------------------------------+
159
+ | TYPOGRAPHY (Desktop) TYPOGRAPHY (Mobile) |
160
+ | H1 48px/Bold Inter H1 32px/Bold Inter |
161
+ | H2 36px/Bold Inter H2 28px/Bold Inter |
162
+ | Body 16px/Regular Inter Body 14px/Regular Inter |
163
+ +------------------------------------------------------------------+
164
+ | COLORS |
165
+ | BRAND TEXT BACKGROUND FEEDBACK |
166
+ | +------+ +------+ +------+ +------+ |
167
+ | |Primary| |Primary| |Primary| | Error| |
168
+ | +------+ +------+ +------+ +------+ |
169
+ | #0066ff #1a1a1a #ffffff #dc2626 |
170
+ | AA:Pass AA:Pass AA:Pass |
171
+ +------------------------------------------------------------------+
172
+ | SPACING RADIUS SHADOWS |
173
+ | 4 8 16 24 sm md lg full xs sm md lg xl |
174
+ +------------------------------------------------------------------+
175
+ ```
176
+
177
+ Every color swatch shows its AA compliance status (Pass/Fail against white and black backgrounds).
178
+
179
+ ---
180
+
181
+ ## AS-IS vs TO-BE Workflow
182
+
183
+ The full Design System Automation workflow uses this plugin twice:
184
+
185
+ 1. **Extract AS-IS** — Run the app on a website, download JSON, import to Figma
186
+ 2. **Review** — See the current state of the design system as a visual spec
187
+ 3. **AI Analysis** — The app's 4 AI agents analyze and suggest improvements
188
+ 4. **Accept/Reject** — Choose which suggestions to keep
189
+ 5. **Export TO-BE** — Download the improved JSON, import to Figma
190
+ 6. **Compare** — Place AS-IS and TO-BE visual specs side by side
191
+
192
+ This gives you a clear before/after view of every change.
193

212
+
213
+ ## Troubleshooting
214
+
215
+ **Plugin won't load?**
216
+ - Make sure you're using the Figma desktop app (not the browser version)
217
+ - Check that `manifest.json`, `src/code.js`, and `ui/ui.html` are all present
218
+ - Try: Plugins > Development > Import plugin from manifest... and re-select
219
+
220
+ **Styles not appearing?**
221
+ - Open the **Assets** panel (left sidebar) and check under Local styles
222
+ - Make sure you clicked "Apply to Document" and waited for the progress bar
223
+ - Try refreshing: Cmd+R (Mac) or Ctrl+R (Windows)
224
+
225
+ **JSON upload fails?**
226
+ - Validate your JSON at [jsonlint.com](https://jsonlint.com)
227
+ - Check that hex colors use the full 6-digit format: `#0066ff` (not `#06f`)
228
+ - Make sure font sizes include units: `"32px"` (not `"32"`)
229
+
230
+ **Fonts look wrong?**
231
+ - Figma needs the font installed on your system or available through Google Fonts
232
+ - If a font isn't found, Figma falls back to a default — install the font and re-run
233

88
- ---
89
-
90
- ## Your JSON Format
91
-
92
- The plugin expects this JSON structure:
93
-
94
- ```json
95
- {
96
- "global": {
97
- "colors": {
98
- "teal": {
99
- "value": "#00A09A",
100
- "type": "color"
101
- },
102
- "hot-pink": {
103
- "value": "#FF007F",
104
- "type": "color"
105
- }
106
- },
107
- "typography": {
108
- "h1": {
109
- "value": {
110
- "fontFamily": "Montserrat",
111
- "fontWeight": "700",
112
- "fontSize": "48px",
113
- "lineHeight": "1.2"
114
- },
115
- "type": "typography"
116
- }
117
- },
118
- "spacing": {
119
- "xs": {
120
- "value": "8px",
121
- "type": "spacing"
122
- }
123
- }
124
- }
125
- }
126
- ```
127
-
128
- ---
129
-
130
- ## What Gets Created
131
-
132
- ### Color Styles
133
- - Named as: `colors/[name]`
134
- - Example: `colors/teal`, `colors/hot-pink`
135
- - Can be used in any fill or stroke
136
-
137
- ### Text Styles
138
- - Named as: `typography/[name]`
139
- - Example: `typography/h1`, `typography/body`
140
- - Includes font family, size, weight, and line height
141
-
142
- ### Spacing Tokens
143
- - Named as: `spacing/[name]`
144
- - Example: `spacing/xs`, `spacing/md`
145
- - Stored as text styles for reference
146
-
147
- ---
148
-
149
- ## Troubleshooting
150
-
151
- ### Plugin doesn't load
152
- - Make sure all three files are in the correct folder structure
153
- - Check that `manifest.json` is in the root folder
154
- - Restart Figma and try again
155
-
156
- ### Styles not appearing
157
- - Check the Assets panel on the left sidebar
158
- - Make sure you clicked "Apply to Document"
159
- - Try refreshing the page (Cmd+R or Ctrl+R)
160
-
161
- ### JSON upload fails
162
- - Verify your JSON is valid (use jsonlint.com)
163
- - Make sure it follows the expected structure
164
- - Check for missing commas or quotes
165
-
166
- ### Styles have wrong values
167
- - Double-check your JSON values
168
- - Make sure hex colors are valid (e.g., #00A09A)
169
- - Verify font sizes include "px" (e.g., "48px")
170
-
171
- ---
172
-
173
- ## Tips & Best Practices
174
-
175
- 1. **Keep JSON organized** - Use clear token names
176
- 2. **Test first** - Create a test file before applying to main designs
177
- 3. **Update regularly** - Re-run the plugin when tokens change
178
- 4. **Use consistent naming** - Follow the naming convention (e.g., `colors/`, `typography/`)
179
- 5. **Backup your file** - Save your Figma file before running the plugin

- ## 🛠️ How It Works
124
-
125
- 1. **Parse JSON** - Plugin reads your design tokens
126

128
- 4. **Apply** - Adds styles to your document
129
- 5. **Confirm** - Shows success message with count
130
-
131
- ## 💡 Tips
132
-
133
- - Use consistent naming conventions in your JSON
134
- - Test with a small set of tokens first
135
- - Keep your JSON file organized by category
136
- - Update tokens regularly as your design system evolves
137
- - Share the JSON file with your team for consistency
138
-
139
- ## 🐛 Troubleshooting
140
-
141
- **Plugin won't load?**
142
- - Check folder structure matches exactly
143
- - Ensure manifest.json is in root folder
144
- - Restart Figma
145
-
146
- **Styles not created?**
147
- - Verify JSON is valid (use jsonlint.com)
148
- - Check token names don't have special characters
149
- - Make sure hex colors are valid format
150
-
151
- **Wrong style values?**
152
- - Double-check JSON values
153
