Today, we’re unveiling a suite of code-backed primitives that raise the ceiling of what’s possible in the @figma canvas:
- code repos as layers
- shaders
- motion
- weave tools
- generative plugins
All orchestrated by AI agents and natively composable.
Ok back to the inflate shader now. Working on nailing the squishiness...

As we've launched Figma Code Layers, MCP Server, Motion, and generative shaders and plugins, I have been thinking about the role of prompting in the creative process.
In 1978, Card, English, and Burr at Xerox PARC showed that direct pointing with a mouse outperformed the
