Figma debuts 'Specs' Markdown editor, code layers public beta, and Payload integration to steer AI agents
Figma introduced Figma Specs, a Markdown-based editor for defining a company’s design language that can reference canvas elements, FigJam diagrams, code layers and libraries, and serve as a central source for in‑product agents. The company also opened its Code Layers feature to public beta, expanded availability of its on‑canvas agent, and integrated the Payload headless CMS into Figma Make, while adding support for over 20 tools via its MCP including Grok Bot and Indian startup Sarvam.
