Build an AI Workflow to Convert Figma Designs to Code with a Self-Correction Loop

Create an automated system that uses an AI agent to convert Figma designs into Next.js code. The agent then verifies its output against the original design and iteratively corrects its own mistakes.

02Step-by-Step Guide
1

Create a Trigger Command

Build a custom slash command (e.g., /figma) that accepts a public Figma link as its primary input. This provides a structured starting point for the automation.

2

Extract Design Information via API

Program the command to use an AI model or script to connect to the Figma API. This process should extract design tokens, layout information, component structure, and asset URLs from the provided Figma frame.

3

Generate UI Code

Feed the extracted design information to the AI and instruct it to write the corresponding front-end code using your desired stack, such as Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS.

4

Implement an Automated Verification Step

Use a second AI agent or script (like a Chrome DevTools MCP) to programmatically open the newly generated UI in a browser and inspect the rendered output for correctness.

5

Create an Iterative Self-Correction Loop

The verification agent must compare its inspection results against the original Figma design. If it finds discrepancies, it should report these back to the coding agent, which then attempts a fix. Repeat this loop until the output is correct.

Pro Tip: Instruct the AI to stop after a set number of iterations (e.g., three) if no progress is made to prevent infinite loops.
