DesignTokenDriftDetector
Automatically flags when designers use colors, spacing, or typography that deviate from the design system during Figma work, with one-click suggestions to align
The Problem
Design systems exist but designers constantly deviate from them during rapid iteration—either forgetting tokens exist, using slightly different values, or creating new ad-hoc styles. These drift issues only get caught in code review, creating expensive rework cycles and inconsistent shipping products.
Target Audience
Design teams at mid-market SaaS companies (20-200 person design/eng teams) who have documented design systems but struggle with enforcement across designers
Why Now?
Figma design systems are now standard but adoption of tokens within systems is still manual; AI makes real-time detection and auto-suggestion feasible without heavy setup
What's Missing
Existing design system tools are passive (documentation sites, exported specs) or post-hoc (code linters). Nothing actively watches designers *during* design and nudges them toward compliance in their flow.
