"We've long talked about the importance of building a design system. Components and variables for color, sizing, spacing, and typography create repeatable patterns that save time and ensure consistency at scale. But to unlock even more efficiencies, you need to link these foundations directly to code. Figma's documentation capabilities like Code Connect and code syntax help bring that codebase context into Figma."
"With Figma's Dev Mode MCP server, AI agents can access this additional context in Figma to generate more accurate code. For example, when a card component in your design system connects to code and uses shared variables for spacing, color, and typography, the MCP server can give an AI agent the exact context it needs to generate that card in production-ready code. Instead of searching across your entire codebase to find the right pieces, AI agents can pull them directly and generate code faster,"
Clear Figma files and deliberate handoff practices improve developer outcomes when using agentic coding tools. Building a design system with components and variables for color, sizing, spacing, and typography creates consistent, repeatable patterns. Linking those components to code using tools like Code Connect and defining code syntax brings codebase context into the design environment. Figma's Dev Mode MCP server allows AI agents to access that context so they can generate production-ready code without searching the entire codebase. Clear page hierarchies, consistent frame and layer naming, and documented code links scale benefits across teams and speed design-to-production workflows.
