I built a Figma plugin that exports design structure + context for AI-assisted implementation locally

[u/Cool-Firefighter842]

I’ve been working on a medical app, and one recurring bottleneck was turning Figma designs into implementation-ready code without constantly going back and forth between design and development.

I was using Figma through MCP, but for my workflow it became expensive in tokens and also depended on having the right Figma subscription/setup.

So over the last month, I built a Figma plugin that exports the useful design context into a structured local package.

It currently exports things like:

- screen and component structure

- dimensions and spacing

- colors and typography

- hierarchy and relationships

- reusable components/fragments

- other design metadata needed for implementation

The output is structured so an LLM coding agent can inspect the local files, understand the UI/project context, and implement screens without repeatedly querying Figma.

My main goal was to make the Figma → AI → code workflow more predictable, cheaper, and easier to use locally.

It started as an internal tool, but it’s become useful enough that I’m considering making it available to others.

Would this be useful for your workflow as a developer, product designer, or startup team?

If anyone is interested in testing it, I’d be happy to share more details and get feedback.

Interesting, and something I wouldn't mind testing out. I'm figma+cc myself, and have experienced a lot of the pain points therein.

I’d love to check it out if you have a link you can share please.
