Ridd tells the story of Jason Marsh, a designer with no big following or famous logos who landed multiple offers by “spearfishing”: picking a few companies, studying their product in Figma, and sending the hiring manager a working prototype that rebuilds a slice of it with one detail AI couldn’t one-shot. “Be specific, hyper specific… make yourself impossible to ignore.”
Figma’s own rundown of what Specs can do: data reports, PRDs, and hand-off context, outside context pulled in by an agent, rough ideas turned into a detailed spec, and a straight path to a coding agent through Figma’s MCP server, with a code layer built on top to refine.
Figma’s quick tour of code layers: turn a design layer into an interactive code layer, capture a live website with the Chrome extension, duplicate a layer to explore directions side by side, or drop in a prototype through Figma MCP.
Figma added iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 to every place you pick a mobile frame, from the properties panel to prototype settings, Make previews, and code layers.
Figma’s guide to spending fewer AI credits with the agent: scope prompts clearly, attach only the context the task needs, and start a new chat when you switch tasks, since long chats raise the cost of every prompt. For repeated jobs, turn the work into a generative plugin — building it costs credits, but every run after that costs zero.
Enterprise admins can now set default per-user access to paid AI credits at the organization and billing group levels, and manage credit access and limits through SCIM. They can also block people from creating Starter or Professional plans with company emails, and use new admin REST APIs to manage teams, folders, and files. Enterprise plans only, rolling out in the coming days.
Harvey treats its Figma like a codebase: Agentic Brand Guidelines act as the top-level AGENTS.md, and each project folder adds only what it needs. On top of that, agents script, voice with ElevenLabs, and build hundreds of personalized films inside Figma Motion — one batch of 36 took 69 minutes.
Agu Seguí, founding brand designer at Paper, shows how the Paper Mono launch video was made. “Everything is code but I didn’t touch any of it.”
Josh Puckett launched Graphical, “a simple, powerful, and fun tool to design visual languages, style components, and work with coding agents to create interfaces that look memorable and feel unique.” You tune colors, type, spacing, shape, and motion springs visually, then hand your agent a GUI.md, theme references, and three skills for building and reviewing screens.
Hayden Mills has run Fontpair for over a decade, curating free font pairings with friends. The new version starts from brand kits: pick a font pairing and color palette, remix it on a sample site in the Playground, and download the result as a PDF or a DESIGN.md for your agent.
Vibe-coded prototypes have no good place for feedback. Ridd launched Inflight to everyone: it adds pinned comments, built-in video, and structured questions on top of any prototype link, then hands it all to your coding agent through MCP.
Four ways to make motion consistent and easy for non-motion designers on your team: components, easing and timing variables, custom animation styles, and plugins you generate with the agent.
Figma Make gets a real backend. Payload, the open-source CMS Figma brought in last year, now powers data-backed apps straight from a prototype, with content that stays bound to your design system.
Guidelines let a design systems team upload Markdown rules to a published library, and the Figma agent reads them every time someone prompts with that library. Include dos and don’ts, anti-patterns, and unwritten taste. When the agent keeps inventing navigation, add a rule.
At Config India, Figma also put code sources in closed beta and previewed one place to manage a whole system.
The Figma agent is out of beta, with lower latency, file search across the platform, and the ability to watch your teammates’ agents work live on the canvas. Generative plugins are now generally available too.
Mentha is Mintlify’s design system for an agent-heavy team. Fay Dakrouri’s takeaway: the more instructions, skills, and component constraints you feed an agent, the better its first direction, though someone still has to judge whether the result solves the problem tastefully.
Figma’s newest product is a Markdown editor. “You can think of Specs as a container for your context.” Specs live on the canvas and as their own file type, are multiplayer with comments, and can be filled by hand or through MCP and GitHub. Rolling out in open beta on paid plans.
Code layers are now in open beta. Figma designer advocate Anthony DiSpezio’s demo shows the loop that makes them different from a vibe-coded prototype: duplicate a layer to branch, edit visually or in code, extract designs and push them back, then combine two teammates’ explorations with one prompt. The Chrome extension can also capture a live website as a code layer.
At the first Config India in Bengaluru, Dylan Field framed the launches around two ways of building: building to think and building to ship. Code layers go to open beta, Specs bring Markdown to the canvas, design systems get guidelines and code sources, and Make can scaffold a Payload backend. “Don’t delegate your thinking to AI. You need to think.”
Hairline 0.5px borders keep strokes crisp until you put them on a small corner radius, like a checkbox. Then antialiasing gets funky, especially in dark mode. Matt Ström-Awn’s workaround is two overlaid rectangles with carefully-tuned concentric radii.
