Why would I want to do that?
- drusepth 1y agoPresumably the reverse would be more valuable: design something in Figma, then have Gemini CLI read from Figma and use that as a reference while writing the code. I don't know if this is how the Figma integration works, but right now I'm just manually screenshotting my designs and passing them into Claude CLI as references for what I want, so this seems potentially more streamlined.

- xnx 1y agoIf there's value in a human using Figma, there's value in being able to give a "bot" instructions to do whatever a person might. e.g. "Gemini, update all the Figma layouts with this new text."
- pgodzin 1y agolast I checked the Figma MCP is read-only -- "look at this figma design and implement it"
- smrtinsert 1y agoFigma MCP doesn't seem very useful at all and seem to me to compete with their newer prompt based builder. I think they're probably have their AI fork in the road. If they can't integrate these tools someone else will...

- IanCal 1y agoAssuming that includes reading, there’s a definite case for having your coding assistant being able to easily see the designs.
- parkersweb 1y agoI’ve regularly used prompts along the lines ‘please modify the UI tor x feature to look like the selected Figma frame’. It’s ideal for a designing developer who wants to be much more specific about the user experience.
