Perplexity

Headless Figma inspection with Claude Code

Integrate design audits into your CI/CD by calling `list_styles` and `list_components` from your shell. Claude Code pipes this data into your scripts. This automates the validation of design tokens across your repository. Your build process can now verify styles against the source of truth.

Automate design feedback loops

Use `get_comments` to ingest design feedback directly into your terminal workflow. Claude Code helps you track issues without opening a browser. It handles the heavy lifting of finding relevant comments. You can then use `post_comment` to mark tasks as complete when the code is ready.

Extract node data for build scripts

The `get_file_nodes` tool lets you extract specific data for automated testing. Claude Code uses this to ensure components match Figma layer properties. This keeps your design system consistent. You no longer need to rely on manual checks to ensure your production code matches the design files.
