Figma introduces Specs to give design agents explicit rules
A concrete example of steering AI agents with a written spec instead of hoping they infer a brand.
At its first Config event in India, Figma announced Figma Specs, a Markdown editor where a team writes down its design language so that people and AI agents, Figma's own and third-party ones, can follow the same rules. Specs can reference canvas elements, design and code libraries and FigJam diagrams. Figma also opened its code layers feature to a public beta, added support for more than 20 tools through its MCP server, and is integrating the Payload headless CMS it acquired last year into Figma Make. Figma says India is its biggest market by users outside the US.
