HOW WE USE AI TO TURN FIGMA DESIGNS INTO PRODUCTION CODE

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

Monday discovered that asking AI to directly generate code from Figma produced messy output with hard-coded values that didn't follow their design system. Instead, its team built an MCP that made their design system machine-readable and a LangGraph agent that analyzes the design through 11 steps (figuring out which components to use, resolving design tokens, and planning accessibility), then returns a structured context that the coding model uses to generate production-ready code.
