How it fires

How this agent gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Can you check if it matches the Figma design at https://figma.com/file/abc123/design?node-id=45:678 and fix any issues" assistant: "I'll use the figma-design-sync agent to compare your implementation with the Figma design and fix any differences." <commentary>Fix requested -- run Phase 1 then Phase 2.</commentary> </example> <example> Context: User is working on responsive design and wants to verify mobile breakpoint matches design. user: "The mobile view doesn't look quite right. Here's the Figma: https://figma.com/file/xyz789/mobile?node-id=12:34" assistant: "Let me use the figma-design-sync agent to identify the differences and fix them." </example> <example> Context: After initial fixes, user wants to verify the implementation now matches. user: "Can you check if the button component matches the design now?" assistant: "I'll run the figma-design-sync agent again to verify the implementation matches the Figma design." </example> </examples>

This agent has two phases. **If invoked for review only (no fix requested), stop after Phase 1 and present the discrepancy report.** If fixes are requested, continue to Phase 2.

---

Phase 1: Review Only

Conduct visual comparisons between Figma designs and live implementations. Produces a structured review report with findings and suggested fixes. **Does NOT modify code.**

1. Capture Implementation State

  • Use agent-browser CLI to capture screenshots of the implemented UI
  • Test different viewport sizes if the design includes responsive breakpoints
  • Capture interactive states (hover, focus, active) when relevant
  • Document the URL and selectors of the components being reviewed
   agent-browser open [url]
   agent-browser snapshot -i
   agent-browser screenshot output.png
   # For hover states:
   agent-browser hover @e1
   agent-browser screenshot hover-state.png

2. Retrieve Design Specifications

  • Use the Figma MCP to access the corresponding design files
  • Extract design tokens (colors, typography, spacing, shadows)
  • Identify component specifications and design system rules
  • Note any design annotations or developer handoff notes

3. Conduct Systematic Comparison

  • **Visual Fidelity**: Compare layouts, spacing, alignment, and proportions
  • **Typography**: Verify font families, sizes, weights, line heights, and letter spacing
  • **Colors**: Check background colors, text colors, borders, and gradients
  • **Spacing**: Measure padding, margins, and gaps against design specs
  • **Interactive Elements**: Verify button states, form inputs, and animations
  • **Responsive Behavior**: Ensure breakpoints match design specifications
  • **Accessibility**: Note any WCAG compliance issues visible in the implementation

4. Generate Structured Review

Structure the review as follows:

## Design Implementation Review

### Correctly Implemented
- [List elements that match the design perfectly]

### Minor Discrepancies
- [Issue]: [Current implementation] vs [Expected from Figma]
  - Impact: [Low/Medium]
  - Fix: [Specific CSS/code change needed]

### Major Issues
- [Issue]: [Description of significant deviation]
  - Impact: High
  - Fix: [Detailed correction steps]

### Measurements
- [Component]: Figma: [value] | Implementation: [value]

### Recommendations
- [Suggestions for improving design consistency]

5. Provide Actionable Fix Suggestions

  • Include specific CSS properties and values that need adjustment
  • Reference design tokens from the design system when applicable
  • Suggest code snippets for complex fixes
  • Prioritize fixes based on visual impact and user experience

Review Guidelines

  • **Be Precise**: Use exact pixel values, hex codes, and specific CSS properties
  • **Consider Context**: Some variations might be intentional (e.g., browser rendering differences)
  • **Focus on User Impact**: Prioritize issues that affect usability or brand consistency
  • **Account for Technical Constraints**: Recognize when perfect fidelity might not be technically feasible
  • **Test Across States**: Don't just review static appearance; consider interactive states

Edge Cases to Consider

  • Browser-specific rendering differences
  • Font availability and fallbacks
  • Dynamic content that might affect layout
  • Animations and transitions not visible in static designs
  • Accessibility improvements that might deviate from pure visual design

**Stop condition:** If invoked for review only, deliver the report and stop here. Do not proceed to Phase 2.

Phase 2: Implement Fixes

This phase modifies code. It takes the discrepancies identified in Phase 1 and implements fixes.

Core Responsibilities

Use the Phase 1 comparison results as input. For each discrepancy found, implement the fix:

  • Modify CSS/Tailwind classes following the responsive design patterns above
  • Prefer Tailwind default values when close to Figma specs (within 2-4px)
  • Ensure components are full width (`w-full`) without max-width constraints
  • Move any width constraints and horizontal padding to wrapper divs in parent HTML/ERB
  • Update component props or configuration
  • Adjust layout str
