🧭 Variable & Style Management in Figma Using AI
Tools for managing Figma variables, styles, and design tokens
Overview
Inked Colibri bridges design intent, AI communication, and variable generation through JSON. Instead of manually creating variables and bindings, describe your structure in JSON — including variable names, types, and relationships — and let Inked Colibri interpret it directly inside Figma.
This approach allows you to collaborate with AI to plan your variable hierarchy and naming conventions before execution. JSON becomes the communication bridge between your design thinking and how the plugin translates it into real Figma variables and styles.
At a Glance
With Inked Colibri, you can:
- Use JSON structure to define variables and styles with paths for Figma collection folders.
- Generate large variable sets with variable-to-variable and style-to-variable binding.
- Replace style paths or apply new color schemes without losing consistency.
- Rebind variables when moving components across multiple Figma files.

JSON Structure
Foundation Format
Structure and Format
Use paths to define Figma collection folder structure and variable names for autobinding. Perfect for communicating with AI about your variable and styles structure — execute with one click using the plugin.
Token Commander
Smart Automation
JSON to Figma Variables
Using JSON structure, generate large sets of variable collections and style groups inside Figma. Supports variable-to-variable binding and style-to-variable binding — build consistent token systems faster than ever.
Replace Style Path
Bulk Updates
Style Path Management
Update or rebind style paths in bulk, instantly reconnecting styles and variables. Perfect for testing alternative color themes, copying variable sets between documents, or restoring links after regenerating styles.
Rebind Variable
Auto-Restore Links
Variable Rebinding
Automatically reconnect color and dimension variables after copying or importing elements between files. Detects existing variable references and rebinds them in one action — supports color, width, min-width, and max-width bindings.
