Handoff is an open-source tool designed to streamline collaboration between designers and developers by automating the transformation of design decisions in Figma into code-ready formats. It is beneficial for teams who want to ensure consistent implementation of their design systems across projects.
Handoff utilizes a Figma plugin and a developer CLI to extract design tokens, enabling automatic updates and generation of interactive documentation sites. This makes it useful for developers who wish to save time on manual inspections, designers who seek to automate design token management, project managers aiming for efficient project launches, and brand owners looking to maintain branding consistency.
Handoff supports various integration points, such as Bootstrap, WordPress, and GitHub Actions, facilitating a quick setup for a wide range of development workflows.
