Auditing Figma Designs with AI

Beginner Level

Here's what it does: Google Antigravity connects to your Figma file via the Dev Mode MCP.

You define your design standards once as audit rules (spacing grid values, what must use tokens instead of hardcoded hex values) and trigger them with a single command. Under a minute later, you get a structured violation report: every issue grouped by frame, with current value, expected value, and priority flag. Tested on real design files.

The key thing to understand about this workflow: the AI doesn't touch your file. It reads, reports, and stops.
You validate the output, decide what to fix, and make the changes yourself. That's intentional. This is an assisted workflow, not an automated one, built so the designer stays in control of every decision.

Practically, this covers two scenarios: reducing sign-off time by catching token and spacing issues before technical review, and preparing files for dev handover so what gets to engineering actually follows your established rules.

The guide uses Antigravity because it currently has a free tier, but the same process works in Cursor with minimal changes.

This is the beginner-level setup, simple rules, straightforward copy-paste configuration, no coding required and particularly useful for small teams and freelancers who don't have a dedicated QA step in their process.
