Coinbase adapted their agentic workflows by modernizing Code Connect mappings for their design system components. This involved using an agentic workflow with Claude Code and the `figma-code-connect` skill to migrate hundreds of components. They conducted an evaluation comparing agent output with and without Code Connect, measuring token usage, task duration, and code quality. The results showed significant cost and time savings, attributed to Code Connect providing better context to agents, reducing the need for them to search and guess component implementations.
