Figma just shipped AI agents that work directly on the canvas.

Not a plugin. Not a sidebar button. Actual agents that read your design library first, then create using your existing components, variables, and tokens.

This matters because most AI design tools ignore context. They output a generic UI with no connection to your system. This is different. The agent knows your constraints before it starts.

The shift is from "AI generates, designer cleans up" to "AI operates within your system, designer reviews."

Open the Figma Canvas Agents beta. Connect it to Claude or Cursor. Write one skill for your most-repeated layout task and run it against a real file.
