Built figma-operator, a system that lets Claude read, plan and edit a Figma file through natural language
Being a designer was never my full time occupation, but I became very keen to explore the possibilities of programatic design, as in, designing through code. Very early on Figma opened a lot of possibilities on this front.

The figma-operator agent lets you control Figma through natural language. It connects Claude directly to a Figma canvas via the figmaOS plug-in, to translate your instructions into precise operations executed in real time.
You describe what you want in plain language. The agent figures out the document structure, plans the operations, writes the action, and executes it — handling fonts, node traversal, batch updates, and error recovery automatically.
