Oct 6, 2026Brett McMillin

Summary
This post details how the Figma agent is used to maintain design system consistency by repairing library usage (replacing deprecated components and variable bindings) and generating component enhancement specifications. It also describes the agent's use in compliance reviews by referencing external documentation and identifying potential risks. The agent's ability to automate 'busywork' like file maintenance and spec generation is highlighted, allowing designers to focus on core design decisions.
