- Figma has released Specs, a Markdown editor where teams can write design rules as plain text. According to the original article, once a team records its design standards, people and AI agents can refer to the document together.
- Specs can be created as a separate file or placed inside a canvas. According to the original article, elements from the canvas, FigJam diagrams, code layers, and designs can be pulled into the document and linked.
- A feature has also been added that gathers design libraries, code libraries, and guidelines in one place to manage the context of the design system. The company said the goal is for agents to refer to these standards and better follow brand rules.
- Code layers attach code to a canvas to create interactive prototypes. After the June private beta, the feature moved to a public beta during an event in India, and according to the company, users can ask an agent to turn a design into code or revise part of the code.
O: A design system lead could consolidate the team's color and button rules into one Specs document, then ask an agent to build screens based on that document.
X: The original only says the tool makes AI results more predictable and does not state how much it improves; the figure of a 17 times increase in code comes from Figma's chief design officer.
