GATEKEEPER
GATEKEEPER is a CLI tool that fetches data from the Figma Web API to produce styling elements (colors, typography, icons, etc) that can easily be imported into new or existing projects. It's designed to work alongside most npm-based UI projects, but is also configurable to fit different workflows.
Local development
