Specify

Specify is a design token engine that acts as a central repository for your design system's building blocks. It pulls tokens from sources like Figma Styles, Figma Variables, or Tokens Studio, and then makes them available for developers to use in their code. This ensures that the colors, spacing, typography, and other visual properties used in the design mockups are exactly the same as those implemented in the final product.

The tool supports over 50 different token types and offers multiple ways to get those tokens into development workflows. It provides a REST API, a CLI tool, and direct integrations with platforms like GitHub. This flexibility allows teams to build a workflow that fits their specific process, whether they need automatic syncs or manual exports.

Specify is built for product teams that use design systems, particularly designers and developers working closely together. It eliminates the manual and error-prone task of translating design decisions into code. Companies use it to maintain visual consistency across web and mobile apps, speed up their development cycle, and confidently update or version their design tokens without breaking things.
