The idea is:

Run a plugin in Figma

My use case:

the entire sue case is running a plgin in figma and getting the output so i can work on it, give it to ai agetn and output it as code changes to github

I think it would be beneficial to add this because:

Any resources to support this?

Are you willing to work on this?

Hi! This is a very interesting use case. However, there is a fundamental technical constraint in Figma’s architecture you should be aware of:

  1. The “Pull” Problem: Figma does not allow external triggers to “start” a plugin. The Figma REST API is great for reading file data, but it cannot execute plugin code on the canvas. Plugins run in a sandboxed browser environment and require an active user session (or at least the file being open in a browser/app with the plugin running).

  2. The Solution: The “Push” Workflow: Since you cannot call a plugin from the outside, the workflow must start inside Figma. You need a bridge that “pushes” the design data out to your AI agent.

How to achieve this currently: I developed a plugin called MKitFlow exactly for these types of automation gaps. Here is how you could build your pipeline:

The Bridge: The plugin gathers the required layer data/JSON and sends it via a Webhook to your automation platform (e.g., n8n, Make, or a custom Node.js server).

AI Processing: Your n8n workflow receives the Figma data, sends it to your AI agent (LLM), and receives the code output.
