Show HN: Figma-use – CLI to control Figma for AI agents
figma-use is a command-line interface for driving Figma through its API: reading a file’s structure, creating and editing layers, tweaking styles, and exporting images. That makes it a handy building block for “agentic” workflows where your LLM can propose UI changes, then apply them directly instead of asking a human to click around.
The interesting part here isn’t just automation — it’s the scope: the project aims to expose a fairly complete set of primitives (components, text, shapes, constraints, exports) so you can build higher-level operations on top (e.g. “make this design more compact” or “generate three hero variants”). If you try it, treat access carefully: a Figma token with write permissions is effectively “production access” to your design system. For experimentation, it’s worth starting with a throwaway file and a token scoped to a test team/project.
