LintKit

Scan your Figma files for design inconsistencies and fix them

What is LintKit?

LintKit is a Figma plugin that scans your design files for inconsistencies and helps you fix them. It checks 24 rules across styles, layout, cleanup, components, values, and accessibility — then shows you exactly what’s wrong and how to fix it.

Install and run your first scan

Get LintKit running and scan a file in under a minute.

Configure for your design system

Set spacing scales, radii, color tolerances, and more.

Browse all 24 rules

Understand what LintKit checks and how each rule works.

Connect design tokens

Auto-configure rules from Tokens Studio or GitHub.

How it works

1. Scan

   Open LintKit in any Figma file. It scans the current page automatically and groups findings by rule — orphaned styles, spacing violations, broken variables, accessibility failures, and more.

2. Review

   Click any finding to select the affected layers on the canvas. The inspector panel shows what’s wrong, which layers are affected, and what fix options are available.

3. Fix

   Apply a one-click fix, ignore intentional exceptions, or bulk-fix all instances of a rule at once. Every fix is a separate undo step in Figma — press Cmd+Z to revert.

What LintKit checks

Category	What it catches	Example findings
Styles	Fills, text, strokes, effects, and grids not linked to styles	”12 nodes use #3B82F6 without a style — closest match: Primary/Blue”
Layout	Off-scale spacing, fractional pixels, missing auto-layout	”Padding 7px is not on your 8px scale — snap to 8px”
Cleanup	Hidden layers, empty groups, generic names	”Frame 1 has a default name — rename it”
Components	Broken instances, unapproved libraries, deep nesting	”5 instances come from an unapproved library”
Values	Off-scale radii, stroke weights, broken variables	”Corner radius 6px is not in your allowed set — snap to 4px or 8px”
Accessibility	Contrast failures, broken variable bindings	”Text fails WCAG AA — ratio 2.8:1, requires 4.5:1”

See Rules overview for the full list of all 24 rules.

Core features

Compliance dashboard

After each scan, see a compliance score showing what percentage of your file meets your design system standards. The dashboard also shows handoff readiness, a severity breakdown, and estimated fix time. Available in both Free and Pro. See Dashboard.

Smart Replace

When LintKit suggests a matching style for an orphaned fill or stroke, it uses perceptual color matching (Delta E 2000) instead of simple hex comparison. This means it can find the right match even when colors have drifted slightly. Available in both Free and Pro. See Smart Replace.

Bulk Fix

Fix all instances of a rule at once instead of one at a time. Bulk Fix processes changes in batches and shows a confirmation dialog for large operations. Pro feature. See Bulk Fix.

Design token integration

Connect Tokens Studio or sync tokens from a GitHub repository. LintKit reads your token definitions and auto-configures spacing, radii, and color rules to match. See Tokens Studio and GitHub.

Export reports

Export findings as JSON (for automation), CSV (for spreadsheets), or HTML (for sharing). Reports include compliance scores, finding details, and suggested fixes. Pro feature. See Reports.

Offline and privacy

LintKit runs entirely inside Figma’s plugin sandbox — there is no backend server. All scanning and fix logic happens locally. No design data leaves your machine.

Network is only used for:

• Integrations — syncing tokens from Tokens Studio or GitHub
• License validation — checking Pro license status (cached for 7 days offline)

Free vs Pro

	Free	Pro
All 24 detection rules	Yes	Yes
Unlimited scanning	Yes	Yes
Compliance dashboard	Yes	Yes
Smart Replace	Yes	Yes
Tokens Studio and GitHub	Yes	Yes
Fixes per session	5	Unlimited
Bulk Fix	—	Yes
Export reports (JSON, CSV, HTML)	—	Yes

Both tiers run all 24 rules and show all findings. The free tier limits you to 5 fixes per session — the counter resets each time you close and reopen the plugin. See Pricing for details.
