Figma-to-code without Figma

The problem

Maintaining a Figma file that matches production is its own job. Small teams can't afford the round-trip; indie hackers don't have time for the discipline.

The workflow

1. Step 1

   Edit the live page

   Open Design Mode on your dev server or staging URL. Make the change visually.

2. Step 2

   Ship to your AI agent

   Send to Agent → Claude Code, Cursor, or your tool of choice writes the production change.

3. Step 3

   Optional: use Figma for greenfield

   Keep Figma for blank-canvas exploration. Use Design Mode for everything that already exists.

The outcome

Less context-switching, less file drift, more shipped iterations per week.
