Slim Design System

About this plugin

Streamline Your Design System Workflow with Slim

Slim Design System is a powerful Figma plugin that helps teams build, scale, and maintain a production-ready design system directly inside Figma. It focuses on token-first design, automation, and consistency, so you can spend less time managing styles and more time designing.

What Slim Helps You Do

✅ Token-First Design System

Create a structured design system using Primitive, Semantic, and Component tokens, ensuring a single source of truth across colors, typography, spacing, and radius.

🌗 Light & Dark Mode Ready

Automatically generate Light and Dark mode semantic tokens, mapped from primitives, making theme support consistent and scalable across components.

⚡ Automated Token Generation

Generate hundreds of design tokens instantly, including:

1. Color tokens
2. Typography tokens
3. Spacing & sizing tokens

Border radius tokens

1. All created as Figma Variables for easy maintenance.

🔘 Button Variant Generation

Instantly generate fully tokenized button components with:

1. Multiple sizes and variants
2. Correct spacing, typography, and radius
3. Variant-based component structure. All powered by design tokens.

🧠 Intelligent Primitive → Semantic Mapping

Build your foundational color palettes once and map them intelligently to semantic tokens, ensuring design consistency across themes and components.

📚 Auto-Generated Documentation

Slim automatically creates tokenized documentation frames inside Figma, helping teams understand:

1. Token purpose
2. Light/Dark values
3. Usage guidelines
4. No manual documentation needed.

🧩 Designed for Scalability

Slim is built to grow with your design system. The same token architecture can be extended to:

Badges
