In sintesi

Figma Plugins are JavaScript applications that extend Figma's functionality. Build custom tools to automate workflows (batch rename, generate themes, export assets, etc.). Access Figma's document API to read/modify designs programmatically. Used to automate repetitive design tasks and bridge design ↔ development. Takes 3-4 weeks to master. Sits between UI automation (simple) and full-stack app development (complex) as the specialized niche.
