Everything you need to know about using Atlas in Slack
Atlas is a design system reference plugin for Slack.
Atlas syncs with our Figma variables and brand guidelines and makes them easy to share via Slack commands.
Atlas serves to complement your existing workflows, not replace them.
It's pretty simple, Atlas helps to speed up conversations and get you the information you need where you already are most of the time anyway; in Slack.
Atlas will be available through the Slack App Directory, the official marketplace for Slack apps and integrations.
This is also available internally to our design team who can download it directly via our GitHub repository.
✓ Completely Free — No subscriptions or hidden fees.
