Figma turns design-system judgment into reusable agent context
Libraries tell the agent what exists; guidelines explain how to choose; examples show patterns in practice; and skills package recurring audits—including checks for accessibility gaps—into shared workflows.
Published libraries provide approved components and tokens, guidelines encode rules and exceptions, examples demonstrate composition, and reusable skills can audit screens for hardcoded values and accessibility gaps.
Designers can seed a slot with a default component that appears in every new instance and updates system-wide, while marketers can still swap, reset, or clear the content where needed.
The design team uses Figma Make to simulate dynamic flight paths, weather, procedures, and airport maps before engineering, helping pilots evaluate interaction behavior rather than static screens.
Agent presence shows where an MCP-connected agent is working in real time, extending earlier activity-log attribution so teams can see current work as well as completed changes.
The November release adds computed-style inspection, a visual anchor-position editor, and new agent guidance for accessible generated content, operating-system text scaling, responsive design, and interaction paint timing.
Read-only investigation runs first; proposed changes require a plan that connects intent, tasks, and permissions, while short-lived credentials and API enforcement keep the agent within the user’s existing access.
