You’ve faced this before: stuck in a loop of Figma tasks that don’t meet your standards. you need to rename 50 layers, replace old components, or update colors on 20 screens. perhaps you need to check accessibility for every text element. you waste time searching for a custom plugin. you try a few, but none offer the exact features you need to automate your tasks.

In the past, Automator and Scripter helped handle these custom repetitive tasks. But since both plugins are no longer maintained, you’re left with a difficult choice: check everything manually, learn to code custom plugins, or convince your company to hire a developer just for these essential but boring tasks.

Layers is an AI-powered Figma plugin that turns your prompts into automated workflows. Simply describe what you need to accomplish, and Layers generates and runs the appropriate code instantly. It’s like having an endless library of custom plugins, without writing a single line of code.

“I told Layers I needed to check contrast ratios across all text and background combinations in our design system. Within seconds, it generated a detailed report highlighting accessibility issues that would have taken me days to find manually. This tool has literally saved me weeks of work! In the past, I spent hours writing custom workflows for repetitive tasks in Figma. With Automator gone and Scripter abandoned, I had no easy solution until I found Layers.”

Features

  • No-code automation:
    Simply describe what you want to accomplish in a prompt, and Layers will create and run the appropriate Figma plugin code.

  • Save custom workflows:
    Store your frequently used automations for quick access, or modify them slightly for new scenarios without starting from scratch.

  • Bulk operations:
    Make changes across multiple frames, components, or entire files with a single prompt.

  • Design system tools:
    Analyze, validate, and update design systems with specialized functions for checking consistency, accessibility, and more.

  • Smart selections:
    Describe complex selection criteria (like “find all text layers using deprecated fonts”) and let Layers identify exactly what needs attention.

  • Export capabilities:
    Generate reports, export specific elements, or create documentation based on your design files.

FAQ

  • Do I need to know how to code? Not at all. Just describe what you want to accomplish in plain language, and Layers handles all the technical aspects behind the scenes.

  • What kinds of tasks can I automate? Almost anything you’d do manually in Figma - from batch renaming layers to checking color contrast, replacing components, organizing frames, exporting assets in specific formats, and more.

  • How does it compare to Automator or Scripter? Layers combines the custom workflow capabilities of Automator with the code-execution power of Scripter, but removes the complexity of manually creating those workflows or writing code.

  • Will it work with my team’s Figma workflow? Yes! Layers works with any Figma file and can be particularly valuable for teams with established design systems or large, complex projects.

  • How secure is it? Layers runs locally within your Figma instance and doesn’t store your design files. The only data sent to our servers are your text prompts to generate the automation code.
