Automate Design Documentation by Exporting All Component States from Code to Figma

Eliminate design toil by using a single AI prompt to automatically export all component states (e.g., default, error, success) from your codebase into a single Figma file. This keeps design files in sync with the live user experience.

02Step-by-Step Guide
1

Identify a Component with Multiple States

In your codebase, locate a component with various states that are implemented in code but not yet documented in your design files (e.g., a signup flow with default, typing, error, and success states).

2

Use an AI Agent to Export All States

In your AI-powered code editor (like Claude Code) that is connected to Figma, use a single natural language command to export all of the component's states.

Prompt:
send all five states of the signup flow to Figma
3

Review Exported States in Figma

The AI agent will inspect the code, render each state, and export them as individual, editable components into a new Figma file, typically arranged side-by-side for easy comparison and review.

4

Refine and Document in Figma

As a designer, you can now access and refine the actual live component states directly in Figma. This ensures visual consistency and allows you to polish the user experience for all scenarios, not just the happy path.
