Sketch releases Design Audit AI to automatically detect token drift and accessibility regressions

Design Audit AI scans Sketch libraries and project files to find deviations from the source design system, such as unofficial colors, incorrect token usage, or inconsistent spacing. Results are prioritized by impact to usability and brand consistency.

The system also runs automated accessibility checks—contrast, keyboard navigation, and focus order—and suggests precise fixes with one-click updates where safe. Audit reports can be scheduled and shared with team owners.

Sketch positioned the audit as a time-saver for large teams working across many files and contributors, reducing the manual review burden and preventing small inconsistencies from becoming system-wide issues.
