Craftline | Design System Governance

Enterprise design system governance

Audit every Figma file, detect broken components, and route design-system decisions through accountable workflows.

Built for scaled teams where adoption is not a vibe check. The tool combines automated Figma scanning, policy rules, designer scorecards, exception governance, component lifecycle review, and executive reporting.

Component Inventory

Source of truth for approved components, lifecycle status, ownership, and enforcement coverage.

Add Component

Register components before they are enforced in audits.

Registered Components

Components in this table become the approved target set for future Figma scans.

Designer Governance Scorecards

Accountability view for coaching, not blame. Scores combine adoption, remediation speed, repeat drift, and approved exceptions.

Component Lifecycle Workflow

New component proposals and existing component changes move through intake, design authority, engineering readiness, and release governance.

Policy Rules

Rules map to automated checks in Figma plugins, REST scans, design tokens, and library analytics.

Figma Integration Blueprint

Production architecture for moving from dashboard to enterprise rollout.

1. Plugin scanner

Runs in active Figma files, exports node inventory, instance IDs, component set keys, variables, styles, and detached/local edits.

2. Governance API

Normalizes scan payloads, maps files to teams, evaluates rules, stores evidence, and triggers review tasks.

3. Review workflows

Routes critical violations to design-system owners, component proposals to a council, and exceptions to time-boxed approvals.

4. Reporting layer

Shows adoption trends for leadership while keeping designer-level data useful for coaching and enablement.
