Check Designs validates your Figma. What validates your code?
Short summary
Figma's Check Designs validates design system compliance in Figma, catching drift before handoff. But code drift—when engineers change tokens, spacing, or colors after handoff—remains unvalidated. Author Amrutha Kollu proposes treating Figma as source of truth with exact-data generation, CI verification, and feedback loops. She validated this shipping 60+ React components with 3,077 tests in 35 days with zero token violations.
