Layout quality assistant

About this plugin

The lint for your layouts.

Layout Quality Assistant analyzes your Figma frames to identify common design issues that cause headaches during developer handoff. It checks for unlabeled layers, hidden elements, inconsistent spacing values, overuse of groups, and negative auto-layout spacing - all the small details that make the difference between smooth implementation and frustrated developers. It acts as a bridge between design and development.

The plugin promotes design system consistency by flagging spacing that doesn't follow 4px/8px grids (with 2px exceptions), ensuring your layouts translate cleanly to code. Layout Quality Assistant works recursively through nested frames to catch quality issues at every level of your design structure. Each issue comes with helpful guidance to understand why it matters and how to fix it. Perfect for design teams working on component libraries, design systems, or any project where clean handoffs matter.

What this tool doesn't do:

This plugin focuses on layout structure and spacing consistency. It doesn't check visual design elements like color contrast, typography hierarchy, or content strategy. It also won't catch complex interaction design issues or validate against specific brand guidelines - it's specifically built for the structural elements that impact development workflows.

Use Cases:

1. Design system audits
2. Pre-handoff quality checks
3. Team onboarding and training
4. Component library maintenance
