What this agent helps you do
A Figma and GitHub implementation handoff agent translates design intent into code-aware work. Figma supplies frames, components, variants, styles, copy, and interaction notes, while GitHub supplies repository structure, existing components, tests, open pull requests, and implementation history.
When to use this workflow
Use it before assigning design implementation, during design QA, or when a team needs to understand how a mockup maps to a real codebase.
How Figma and GitHub give the agent context
Connect both plugins and provide the Figma file, frame, or component plus the relevant repository. Figma should define the intended experience; GitHub should reveal reusable components, conventions, and risk areas. Ask the agent to flag ambiguity rather than invent states or copy.
Example starter prompt
Compare this Figma design with the GitHub repository and prepare an implementation handoff with likely components, files to inspect, missing states, QA checks, and open design questions. Do not create issues or PR comments without approval.Suggested workflow steps
Start with the target frame and repository. Have the agent inspect design structure, then search GitHub for matching components, routes, tests, and styling conventions. The agent should map design elements to code areas and highlight places where the design requires new patterns.
Expected handoff
Ask for component mapping, files to inspect, implementation risks, unanswered design questions, acceptance checks, and recommended follow-up tasks.
