The Tradesy Design Team has a standard set of plugins that we use to increase our efficiency and streamline common tasks that can sometimes be cumbersome. These plugins should already be installed for every member of Tradesy’s Figma, but if any aren’t installed, reach out to the Figma admin to get your plugin installations sorted out.

Design System Organizer

This plugin allows you to quickly replace and relink components and layer styles from one library with those from another copy styles between files.

Version History → Slack

This plugin allows you to send notifications to a Slack channel when you publish updates from Figma.

Stark

The Stark plugin is a fast and reliable way to check the color contrast of elements of your design to meet Accessibility standards.

Plugins to research

These plugins are on our radar and need to be researched before integrating into our standard plugins.

SVG / Raster Optimization

Spelll

This plugin allows you to check your Figma file text for spelling errors. Huzzah!

Coda

Design with data from apps like Spotify, Wikipedia or your own custom data with this plugin. This plugin works with Coda, a tool for making documents. Simply create a table in Coda, and use the plugin to fill your designs with content from the tables.

Design Lint

Design Lint is an open source plugin that finds missing styles within your designs.

Ensure your designs are ready for development or design collaboration by fixing inconsistencies.

Automator

Workflow automation for Figma, a la Photoshop Actions. Could be used for checklists, spinning up new files with consistent page structures, etc.
