Create a Bidirectional Sync Between Production Code and Figma Designs with AI

Use an AI agent to import live application code into editable Figma files for design collaboration. Then, automatically push the updated Figma designs back into your codebase, creating a seamless loop between design and engineering.

02Step-by-Step Guide
1

Bring Production Code into Figma

With your web app running locally, use an AI agent like Codex, connected to Figma's backend, to pull a live app page into Figma as a fully editable vector-based design.

Prompt:
send the budget allocation page to Figma
2

Collaborate and Refine in Figma

Once the design is imported into Figma, use its native collaborative features to refine the design. Team members can directly manipulate elements, change colors, and explore ideas.

Pro Tip: This step allows designers who are not comfortable with prompting or coding to contribute directly to the design sourced from live code.
3

Copy the Updated Figma Frame URL

After finalizing the new design in Figma, copy the URL of the specific frame that contains the updated components or layout.

4

Push Figma Designs Back to Code

In your coding environment (e.g., Claude Code) where your app's repository is loaded, instruct the AI agent to apply the changes from the Figma URL to your codebase.

Prompt:
bring the changes from this component, into my code base. And which component is it? It's the...budget allocations page.
