Custom VS Code Extension Development
Extensions built directly on the VS Code API: commands, language features, linters, snippets and the workflow tools your engineers actually reach for.
VS Code & Figma Plugins
We build the tools your team wishes came standard with VS Code and Figma. Custom extensions and plugins that fold repetitive work into a single command, keep design and code in step, and never slow down the editor they live in.
The cost of manual work
If any of these feel familiar, a custom extension or plugin is not a luxury, it is the fix. Every one of these problems is solvable with the right approach and the right team.
Developers and designers repeat the same clicks and commands dozens of times a shift. A purpose-built extension or plugin turns that sequence into a single action, inside the tool they already have open.
The closest listing on the Marketplace or Figma Community covers most of what you need and forces a workaround for the rest. A tool built for your workflow leaves nothing to work around.
Tokens in Figma and variables in the codebase fall out of sync the moment someone updates one by hand. A connected plugin and extension pair keeps both sides reading from the same source.
Naming conventions, component rules and coding standards get repeated in reviews and Slack threads instead of written down once. Tooling built into the editor enforces them automatically for every teammate.
A meaningful share of successful developer tools ship as VS Code extensions or Figma plugins, not standalone apps. If that is where your idea lives, you need a build partner who can ship it and get it through review.
Accessibility, naming, token usage and lint rules still get caught by eye in review, if they get caught at all. The same checks can run live inside VS Code or Figma the moment the work happens.
Built with proven tools
We build on the native VS Code and Figma APIs first, and bring in outside tools only where they genuinely earn their place and stay actively maintained.
What we build
From a single focused command to a product-grade extension or plugin with its own backend, every project starts from a blank file and is built around what your team needs it to do.
Extensions built directly on the VS Code API: commands, language features, linters, snippets and the workflow tools your engineers actually reach for.
Figma plugins that automate design production, generate layouts, manage components at scale and connect Figma to the rest of your toolchain.
Plugins and extensions that keep Figma tokens and code variables in lockstep, so design and engineering pull from one source of truth instead of two.
Internal tooling that removes the repetitive steps your team runs by hand in VS Code or Figma, from project scaffolding to bulk edits and reports.
Custom language support, syntax highlighting, IntelliSense, diagnostics and linters built into VS Code for your stack, framework or internal DSL.
Plugins that turn Figma frames into clean components, tokens or specs, closing the gap between design handoff and the first line of build code.
Listings prepared and submitted to the VS Code Marketplace and Figma Community, built to review guidelines so launch day is not a scramble.
Private extensions and plugins distributed inside your organization, with your team's standards, tokens and shortcuts built in from the first install.
Figma plugins that flag contrast, naming, spacing and accessibility issues as the design happens, so problems get caught before handoff, not after.
VS Code extensions and Figma plugins that bring AI into the workflow, from inline code suggestions to design generation, wired to the model you choose.
Extensions and plugins connected to your APIs, services and data so they do real work inside the editor, not just rearrange what is already on screen.
Ongoing updates as VS Code and Figma ship new API versions, plus a fast helpdesk that keeps your tooling published, compatible and working.
Who we work with
We build editor tooling for engineering teams, design teams, agencies and dev-tool startups across every sector below. We learn how your team actually works before we build for it.
Why choose us
Anyone can ship a plugin that technically runs. We build extensions and plugins that are fast, fit the workflow they were built for and are fully owned by you, then we keep them working as VS Code and Figma change underneath them.
Start your projectWe build on the VS Code and Figma plugin APIs every week, not once a year. Your tool uses the platform the way it was designed to be used, not around it.
We bridge Figma and your codebase so tokens, components and specs stay aligned automatically instead of drifting apart between design and build.
We watch the workflow first, then build the tool that removes the specific friction we saw, not a generic feature list pulled from a template.
We prepare your VS Code Marketplace or Figma Community listing to meet platform guidelines and carry it through review to approval.
Editor tooling has one job: stay out of the way. Every extension and plugin we ship is built to stay responsive and never slow the editor down.
Full IP assignment on every contract. The extension or plugin, and its source, belong to you outright, with no recurring licence on your own tool.
Standards, tokens and shortcuts are baked into the tool itself, so the whole team works the same way without anyone having to remember the rules.
VS Code and Figma update their APIs on a regular cadence. We track those changes and keep your tooling compatible and published, not quietly broken.
How we work
Eight clear stages, each ending in something you can review and sign off. No black box between kickoff and launch.
We map the current workflow, the steps worth automating and the systems the tool needs to talk to.
Extension or plugin structure, API approach and any backend requirements agreed before a line of code is written.
Commands, panels and any on-screen plugin interface designed and signed off before development starts.
Clean, documented code built on the VS Code or Figma API, with a working demo at every milestone.
Cross-version and edge-case testing inside the actual editor, before anything ships or gets submitted.
Deployed to your team directly, or submitted to the Marketplace or Figma Community with every guideline met.
Any reviewer feedback handled quickly, so your listing gets approved without weeks of back and forth.
Ongoing updates and compatibility checks against every new VS Code and Figma release.
What is included
The gap between an off-the-shelf listing and a custom-built one is everything that happens under the surface. Here is what comes standard with every extension or plugin we deliver.
Client words
The VS Code extension they built scaffolds every new service to our exact standards. New engineers ship code on day one instead of week two, and every repo finally looks the same. We could not have built it this cleanly ourselves.
Their Figma plugin keeps our design tokens synced with the codebase without anyone touching a spreadsheet. Design and engineering stopped debating hex values because there is one source of truth now. It paid for itself inside a sprint.
Our product is a VS Code extension, and they took it from prototype to a published Marketplace listing with thousands of installs. It stays fast, we own every line of it, and they catch API changes before our users ever notice.
Questions, answered
The questions we hear most from engineering and design leads before they commission a custom extension or plugin.
The cost depends on the tool's functionality, integrations and backend requirements. A focused tool is simpler, while product-grade extensions or plugins with complex workflows require more development. Every project is scoped and quoted individually.
A focused extension or plugin typically takes 3 to 7 weeks. A product-grade tool with accounts, a backend and integrations runs 8 to 16 weeks. You see a working build early, plus a demo every sprint.
Both. We build VS Code extensions for developers and Figma plugins for designers, and we frequently build both together when the goal is keeping design and code in sync.
Yes. Connecting Figma tokens to code variables is one of the most common reasons clients commission a custom plugin and extension pair, and we keep both sides reading from one source of truth.
Yes. We connect extensions and plugins to your APIs, services and data so they do real work inside the editor, and authentication is handled securely from day one.
Yes. We prepare the listing, assets and required metadata, submit the extension or plugin, and handle any reviewer feedback until it is approved and live.
Yes. We can package extensions for private or internal distribution and share Figma plugins within your organization, so the tool never leaves your team.
Yes. We build custom language features, syntax highlighting, IntelliSense, diagnostics and linters, including support for internal languages and proprietary DSLs.
Yes. We build VS Code extensions and Figma plugins that wire AI assistance into the workflow, connected to the model you choose and your own data where it is needed.
Yes. We audit the existing extension or plugin first, then extend or rebuild it on the current API, keeping the behaviour your users already rely on.
On a maintenance plan, yes. Both platforms ship regular API updates. We test your tooling against them and push updates so it stays published and functional.
Every project includes a handover, documentation and a warranty window for fixes. Most clients move onto a maintenance plan so the tooling stays compatible as the platforms evolve. We are still around for version two, not just while the invoice is open.
