I made a free Figma plugin that builds a design token system for you. Would love your honest thoughts.
I've been working on a Figma plugin called Spool DS, and I'm at the stage where I'd really value some outside eyes on it.
What it does: you give it a handful of core colour roles and it generates a full design token system for you. Colour variables with proper OKLCH ramps, transparency ladders, text styles, and sizing tokens. There's a review step at the end so you can see and adjust everything before it writes anything into your file. The idea is to save the hours you'd normally spend building out ramps and naming variables by hand.
It's completely free, published on the Figma Community: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1642485097589548816
If a few of you could try it on a real or throwaway file, I'd be grateful for any thoughts on:
- anything that felt confusing or unclear
- whether the output is something you'd actually use
- tokens or naming you'd expect that aren't there
I'm still learning and just trying to make it genuinely useful, so any advice is welcome. Thanks so much to anyone who gives it a go.
