rsms uses Figma as grounding truth for coding agents, replacing design docs
floguo · x · 2026-09-30
Playbit's rsms shares his workflow: when writing code with AI agents, he treats Figma as the "grounding truth" for software, which he finds better than plan and design docs.
- He tells the bots (in their AGENTS.md) to consult Figma alongside his docs; agents look for guidance there as they work, while he keeps designing in Figma.
- He sometimes asks a bot to add a GUI sketch page for missing UI states or draw a schematic of an implementation mechanism.
- He muses that Figma could generalize toward software making: like Notion, but a high-fidelity 2D canvas instead of text.
