TidyLint feature guide

The selected layers and everything inside them.

Every layer on the page you are looking at.

Every page in the file. TidyLint loads all pages, walks them in chunks of 300 layers and gives Figma a moment between chunks, so the editor stays responsive. The status bar shows the page and layer count, and Cancel stops the scan and keeps what was found so far.

A visible solid fill with no paint style and no color variable. Gradient and image fills are not flagged. Instances, sections and component sets are skipped.

The same check for strokes.

A text layer with no text style. Layers that mix several fonts or sizes are listed but cannot be fixed automatically.

A layer with visible effects, no effect style and no variables bound to its effects.

A corner radius above 0 with no number variable bound to it. This rule only runs when the file has local number variables, so files without them are not flooded with results.

A frame that Figma marks as detached from a component, or a frame named exactly like a local component or component set.

Any hidden layer. Its children are not checked.

A frame or group with no children.

Names Figma generates, such as "Frame 123", "Rectangle 4", "Group", "Vector", "Ellipse 2" or "Union". Names like "Frame 12 copy" or "Hero Frame" are not flagged.

A text layer that uses several text styles, or several fonts or sizes.

TidyLint compares the color with every local paint style that holds one solid color and every local color variable, measured as distance in OKLab, a color space where equal distances look equally different. The distance is scaled so that 1 is about the smallest difference you can see. The closest match within the Color match tolerance wins, and a variable wins a tie with a style. Opacity counts as part of the color. Variables are read in their collection's default mode, and their scopes are respected, so a variable scoped to strokes is never used for a fill. A layer with one fill can take a paint style or a variable; a layer with several fills is bound paint by paint to variables.

The local text style with the same font family, the same size and the same weight, with italic matching italic. "Bold" and "700" count as the same weight. When several styles qualify, the one with the exact style name and the same line height wins.

The local effect style whose effects are identical: type, color, offset, radius, spread and blend mode.

A local number variable whose value equals the radius and that is scoped to corner radius. It is bound to all four corners. Layers with different radii per corner are not fixed automatically.

Local styles that no layer uses, including styles applied to part of a text layer.

Local variables that no layer binds and that no style or other variable refers to.

Local styles of the same kind with identical values. A paint style bound to a variable is not a duplicate of one with the raw color. Pick which style to keep with the radio button.

Hidden layers, listing only the topmost one when hidden layers are nested. Layers inside instances are left out because they cannot be deleted.
