About this plugin
What it does:
This plugin helps you clean up broken color style references in your Figma files, particularly useful during library migrations. When color styles are deleted from a library but instances in consuming files still reference them, this plugin detaches those styles while preserving the underlying color variable values.
Key Features:
- Smart Detection: Distinguishes between styles using color variables vs. raw color values
- Safety First: Only works on your current selection - you control what to detach
- Variable Preservation: Maintains color variable references when detaching styles
- Clear Feedback: Shows exactly which styles were found and detached
Perfect for:
- Library migrations where color styles were removed
- Cleaning up broken style references
- Converting style based colors to direct variable usage
- Maintaining design system consistency and follow up to breaking changes
How to use:
- Select elements with color styles you want to detach
- Open the plugin and scan for styles
- Choose which styles to detach
- Plugin preserves color variables and removes (staled) style references
- Safe, selective, and designed for professional design system workflows.
