The agent handles component and variable repairs via a /repair-library-usage skill, sorts design crit feedback, runs a compliance review against legal/security requirements, and drafts a design system spec for an enhanced component, letting the designer focus on product, design, and policy decisions. The Figma agent is available to Full seat users on Professional, Organization, Enterprise, and some Education plans, with limited availability on Starter plans. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What does the Figma agent's repair-library-usage skill actually do? It inspects selected frames in a design file, compares component instances and variable bindings against the connected library, and automatically replaces deprecated ones when a clear updated equivalent exists. When no obvious match exists, such as two components that could both work, it leaves the instance unchanged and annotates the frame explaining what it found and why it stopped. _Designers weighing how much library cleanup to automate can compare real agent workflows like this on daily.dev._ ### What plans include access to the Figma agent? The Figma agent is available to Full seat users on Professional, Organization, Enterprise, and some Education plans, with limited availability on the Starter plan. Collab, Dev, and View seat users can use the agent within their own drafts even if their plan doesn't otherwise include it. _Teams deciding which Figma plan fits their agent needs can track these details on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [3 Ways Product Designers Use the Figma agent](https://daily.dev/posts/3-ways-product-designers-use-the-figma-agent-dsl76ad4t) · Figma · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [How to lighten design system upkeep with the Figma agent](https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-lighten-design-system-upkeep-with-the-figma-agent-bjvngnsa6) · Figma · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Workflow lab: Moving between design and code with agents](https://daily.dev/posts/workflow-lab-moving-between-design-and-code-with-agents-dvpfsy8qg) · Figma · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [How We Use AI to Turn Figma Designs into Production Code](https://daily.dev/posts/how-we-use-ai-to-turn-figma-designs-into-production-code-2nkdxmjjb) · monday Engineering · 60 upvotes · 5 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#automation](https://daily.dev/tags/automation), [#ux](https://daily.dev/tags/ux), [#figma](https://daily.dev/tags/figma), [#design-systems](https://daily.dev/tags/design-systems) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/workflow-lab-staying-in-the-flow-with-figma-s-agent-5z8zyezkg) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Workflow lab: Staying in the flow with Figma’s agent","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/workflow-lab-staying-in-the-flow-with-figma-s-agent-5z8zyezkg","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/workflow-lab-staying-in-the-flow-with-figma-s-agent-5z8zyezkg"},"datePublished":"2026-10-06T14:04:55.070Z","dateModified":"2026-10-06T14:05:18.669Z","description":"A fictional case study follows a designer at a made-up app company using Figma's AI agent to maintain a design system while building a new temporary-access...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/fdd9a3bb6c514ef0bc76b745c3734e77?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/fdd9a3bb6c514ef0bc76b745c3734e77?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Figma","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Figma","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/d81fd85ddaea4d25a658694de448118f","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/figma"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/workflow-lab-staying-in-the-flow-with-figma-s-agent-5z8zyezkg","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":1},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"ai-agents,automation,ux,figma,design-systems","timeRequired":"PT9M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Figma","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/figma"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Workflow lab: Staying in the flow with Figma’s agent"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/workflow-lab-staying-in-the-flow-with-figma-s-agent-5z8zyezkg#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What does the Figma agent's repair-library-usage skill actually do?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"It inspects selected frames in a design file, compares component instances and variable bindings against the connected library, and automatically replaces deprecated ones when a clear updated equivalent exists.
