How to Standardize Variant Names in Figma
RenameVariantsAI detects variant property patterns and applies consistent naming rules across your entire component library. It supports predefined conventions or custom rules you define.
The Problem
Inconsistent variant names create confusion and break design tokens
- Different designers use different conventions: sm vs Small vs small
- Component properties become impossible to map to code tokens
- Search and filtering breaks when naming is inconsistent
- Manual standardization across hundreds of variants is impractical
