The problem
Maintaining a Figma file that matches production is its own job. Small teams can't afford the round-trip; indie hackers don't have time for the discipline.
The workflow
- Step 1
Edit the live page
Open Design Mode on your dev server or staging URL. Make the change visually.
- Step 2
Ship to your AI agent
Send to Agent marks the session ready for a connected client such as Claude Code or Cursor. The client can retrieve the changes and implement them only when it has separate repository access.
- Step 3
Optional: use Figma for greenfield
Keep Figma for blank-canvas exploration. Use Design Mode for everything that already exists.
The outcome
Less context-switching, less file drift, more shipped iterations per week.
