What it does

Finds where designers have detached instances from the shared library — the leading indicator of UI drift. It walks the target Figma file, identifies detached or overridden component instances, ranks them by frequency, and publishes a living report to Confluence for the design-system owners.

When to use it

Use this when your library exists but adoption is leaking. Detached instances mean someone copied and modified a component instead of using it as-is, which later becomes inconsistent code. This gives system owners a weekly, sortable view of where to intervene.

How it works

  1. 1A weekly schedule starts the crawl.
  2. 2Read the file node tree from Figma and identify detached or heavily overridden instances.
  3. 3A logic step groups detachments by source component and ranks by count.
  4. 4Build a report with the top offenders, frame names, and links back into Figma.
  5. 5Publish or update the Confluence page so the same URL always holds the latest state.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect FigmaFiles, frames, comments, assets.
  2. 2
    Connect ConfluenceSpaces, pages, blueprints.
  3. 3
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  4. 4
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  5. 5
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
