Ghost allows designers to generate placeholder layouts from existing designs quickly. By selecting layers and invoking the plugin, it will replace the layers with simple shapes while retaining the overall dimensions and structure. This helps to create “ghost” versions of designs that can be used for prototypes, handoffs, or to indicate a loading state.
The plugin aims to remove specific properties from layers like effects, strokes, and fills so the placeholders mimic the original layout. It also handles frames carefully by detaching background colors instead of removing them, allowing frames to still act as components and containers.
