Detach the agent chat into its own window on the desktop app, move it anywhere, keep it in view while you design. Figma expects you to be watching an agent work while you do something else, which turns the chat from a sidebar into a persistent companion window.

Jake Albaugh, Developer Advocate at Figma, points a fleet of agents at an entire component library, then reuses the same agents as validators: each file re-fetches from Figma and surfaces what drifted after a property rename. His real argument for Code Connect is context economy – without it the MCP server hands the agent every style value it might need, and compaction is lossy.

The post above shows the skills, this one shows the plumbing. Miggi builds 3 skills: a type scale generator that also writes the variables, an image audit that drops a DPI card beside every image, and Shader Starter, which pairs neatly with the shaders update below.

Miggi rounds up ten community skills for the Figma agent, though the real news is in the first line: you can now author skills inside Figma. Ask the agent to draft one using a design frame as reference, preview it, then keep iterating in chat or open the markdown editor for manual changes. Emil Kowalski’s /find-animation-opportunities, which scans a file for places that don’t animate but should, and Jakub Krehel’s /better-interface which catches the details your interface is missing, are the ones I’d install first. 

The skills demo is the one to watch. Rodrigo calls a slash command for a skill his teammate Tammy wrote in plain English, carrying her own design-review conventions, and the agent returns the critique as annotations right on the canvas. Team practice becomes a callable command.
