In the developer's words
Find and fix errors in your designs.
Design Lint is a plugin that finds missing styles within your designs. It's perfect for fixing errors in your Design System or designs before handoff.
Because Design Lint doesn't try and manage your library, there's no logging in or signing up for accounts.
While it's running, Design Lint will update automatically as you fix errors.
- Errors are displayed in a list by category, which can be filtered by type. This way solving errors in bulk is quick and easy.
- A Layers View is available for more granular view into where errors are, great for design system components.
- Use the "Select All" option to fix multiple errors at once.
- Have a huge file? No problem, design lint can load pages with 10,000 layers in a few seconds.
- Ignore and Ignore All allow you to ignore special unique layers.
- Have an illustration in your design? Use the "Lock" layer feature in figma to skip it from being linted.
- Want to set your own border radius values? Open the settings panel in the plugin.
- Use the refresh icon in the top corner to run the linter again on a new selection.
