Now that Figma is connected, you can select any frame in Figma and ask Claude Code to turn it into working code. No more describing hex codes and spacing. Claude Code reads your actual design.
Select a Frame in Figma
Open Your Design File
In the Figma desktop app, open the design file you want to turn into code.
Select a Frame or Component
Click on the frame, component, or screen you want to implement. You can select an entire page layout or just a single component like a button or card.
Ask Claude Code to Implement It
- Switch to your Claude Code terminal
- Tell Claude Code what you want, it can see your Figma selection
Example Prompts
Implement the card component I have selected in Figma using React and Tailwind CSS.
Build the landing page I have selected in Figma. Use Next.js with Tailwind CSS. Make it responsive.
Implement my selected Figma frame. Use the exact colors, spacing, and typography from the design. Add hover states for all buttons.
What Claude Code Extracts
When you point Claude Code at a Figma frame, it reads:
- Layout structure: how elements are arranged (rows, columns, grids)
- Colors: exact hex/RGB values from your design tokens
- Typography: font family, size, weight, line height
- Spacing: padding, margins, gaps between elements
- Components: reusable design system components
- Design variables: your Figma variables and styles
Begin with a single component (a button, a card) before asking Claude Code to implement an entire page. This helps you learn the workflow and check the output quality.
Frame to code, working
- Selected a frame in Figma and asked Claude Code to implement it
- Saw how Claude Code reads layout, colors, type, spacing, and components
- Started small with a single component before scaling up to a full page
Selecting frames is the fast path. Next: when to use Figma URLs in your prompts instead.
