"One of my favorite coding tools, Claude, can act as a design systems assistant for another my favorite design tool, Figma, helping with the unglamorous work: create ready-to-use token structures, extracting styles, auditing variables, fixing inconsistencies, and even documenting how the system should be used. In this article, I'll show 4 practical workflows where combining Figma & Claude becomes a powerful accelerator for design system work. 1. Generate tokens formatted"
"for Figma Variables When to use: Early in the design process, when you need a robust foundation for style variables on which you can build a consistent, scalable UI. Claude can help you generate an entire collection of tokens for your design system, including colors, typography, spacing, corner radius, etc. The great thing is that Claude optimizes the output for Figma formatting, so you can paste the output directly into your system. Prompt"
Design systems become fragile because maintaining consistency at scale is genuinely hard: tokens drift, naming degrades, and documentation falls out of date. AI can assist by handling tedious, detail-oriented tasks that prevent systems from decaying. Claude can generate ready-to-use token structures, extract styles from designs, audit and fix variable inconsistencies, and produce documentation for usage. Combining Claude with Figma enables practical workflows that accelerate both initial setup and ongoing maintenance. Early-generation of tokens formatted for Figma Variables creates a robust foundation that can be pasted directly into the design system.
