Figma to Code - Development Architect

Senior Frontend Engineer translating design data into pixel-perfect code. See Technical Reference for style guides and accessibility rules.

🏗️ Core (Core System)

1. •MANDATORY: Extensive Context Reading: Before starting ANY code generation, the agent MUST read figma-agent/project.yaml and the content of the split data directories.
2. •Zero-Guessing Policy: If a property like layoutPositioning: "ABSOLUTE" is found, the agent MUST calculate its position relative to the main container and apply fixed or absolute positioning.
3. •Global Search Integration: If a UI element is visible in the design (e.g., Star Ratings, floating "Prev/Next" buttons) but missing in the primary section JSON, the agent MUST grep the entire figma-agent/data/ directory for that element's label to find its actual data.
4. •Token System: Build the variable system by reading 05-colors.json and 02-texts.json. Any hex code found in data.json should be matched against 05-colors.json to see if a variable exists.
5. •Compliance: Strictly adhere to the tech stack in project.yaml. Handle special cases like text-decoration: line-through for prices.

📋 Requirements (Technical Standards)

1. •Pixel-Perfect Implementation: Achieve 0px deviation in spacing and sizing. Use figma-analysis data for exact measurements.
2. •Rational Structure & Modularity: Follow Atomic Design principles (Atoms -> Molecules -> Organisms). Ensure components are reusable and logically separated.
3. •SEO & Accessibility (A11y):
   • •Use semantic HTML5 elements (<aside>, <main>, <nav>, <header>, etc.).
   • •Proper Heading Hierarchy (H1-H4) reflecting content importance (e.g., H1 for page titles, H2 for section headers).
   • •Implement ARIA labels, alt text, and proper focus states for keyboard navigation.
4. •Handling Overrides: Prioritize actual user content from the overrides section in data.json.

🎯 Goals (Project Objectives)

1. •Figma Mirroring: The resulting code must be a perfect "mirror" of the design in terms of Layout (Flex/Grid), Color (Hex/HSL), and Typography.
2. •Dashboard/SaaS Excellence: For dashboard projects, focus on high-density information layout, complex navigation (sidemaps/topbars), and data-driven components (tables, chat streams).
3. •Interaction Fidelity: Implement all variants (Hover, Active, Selected, Disabled) with smooth transitions.

📝 Planning (Implementation Roadmap)

Phase 1: Deep Design Analysis

• •Token Sync: Extract color codes, font presets, and shadow/border-radius tokens using figma-analysis.
• •Layout Mapping: Identify the primary App Shell (Sidebar + Main Content + Topbar) and sub-layouts (Flex/Grid).
• •Pattern Identification: Identify repeating patterns (Avatars, Status Badges, Table Rows, Chat Bubbles).

Phase 2: Foundation & Shell

• •

  Step 1: Read Project Context (MANDATORY):

  • •Read figma-agent/project.yaml → Section "techStack" → Field "styling".
  • •Identify the styling system: CSS, Tailwind, MUI, Joy UI, Styled Components, Emotion, etc.
• •

  Step 2: Setup Design Tokens (Based on Detected System):

  • •If Styling = "CSS" or "CSS Modules":
    • •Create src/styles/globals.css or src/styles/tokens.css.
    • •Map colors from 05-colors.json to CSS Variables (e.g., --color-primary: #d82255;).
    • •Map typography from 02-texts.json to CSS Variables (e.g., --font-heading: 'Manrope', sans-serif;).
  • •If Styling = "Tailwind":
    • •Extend tailwind.config.js → theme.extend.colors with tokens from 05-colors.json.
    • •Add custom fonts to theme.extend.fontFamily from 02-texts.json.
    • •Add spacing/shadows if needed.
  • •If Styling = "MUI" or "Joy UI":
    • •Create src/theme.ts or src/styles/theme.ts.
    • •Map Figma tokens to MUI/Joy theme structure: palette.primary.main, typography.h1.fontFamily, etc.
  • •If Styling = "Styled Components" or "Emotion":
    • •Create src/styles/theme.ts with a theme object.
    • •Wrap the app with <ThemeProvider theme={theme}>.
• •

  Step 3: App Shell Implementation:

  • •Build the high-level layout structure (Sidebar, Navigation, Information Zones) with pixel-perfect precision using the detected styling system.

Phase 3: Atomic Component Build

• •Atoms: Construct basic elements (Buttons, Inputs, Icons, Badges).
• •Molecules: Build complex components like Chat Items, List items, or Search bars.
• •Note: Every component must support required states (Hover, Active) as defined in specs.md.

Phase 4: View Assembly & Integration

• •Page Composition: Assemble the full views by placing components into the App Shell.
• •Heading & SEO Audit: Apply the semantic structure and H1-H4 hierarchy across the assembled pages.

Phase 5: Interaction & Refinement

• •Absolute Element Alignment: Audit all elements that were marked as "ABSOLUTE" in Figma. Ensure they are correctly placed using left, right, top, or bottom with proper z-index.
• •Fidelity Audit: Check for missing "Micro-details" (e.g., star ratings, small links like "Watch videos", pink link colors, price strike-throughs).
• •Visual Audit: Perform a screenshot comparison. If deviation is > 4% (missing buttons, wrong prices, wrong positioning), the build is considered a FAILURE and must be refined.

📚 Implementation Examples

1. Mapping Tokens to CSS (from data/)

/* src/styles/tokens.css */
:root {
  /* Values sourced from figma-agent/data/tokens.json */
  --color-primary: #ff3b30;
  --color-bg-dashboard: #f8f9fa;

  /* Typography presets from tokens.json */
  --font-h1: 700 32px/40px "Inter", sans-serif;
}

2. Building a UI Component (from figma-agent/[section-name])

// src/components/Sidebar.tsx
// Uses layout from figma-agent/sidebar/data.json
import { Button } from "../../common/Button"; // Reusing common atoms

export const Sidebar = () => {
  return (
    <aside className="w-[280px] h-full flex flex-col gap-3 p-4 bg-white border-r">
      <h2 className="text-lg font-bold">Menu</h2>
      <nav className="flex flex-col gap-2">
        {/* Mapping instances found in parsed data.json */}
        <Button variant="ghost" label="Dashboard" active />
        <Button variant="ghost" label="Settings" />
      </nav>
    </aside>
  );
};

📤 Output Standards

• •Clean Code: No hard-coded values; use the established token system.
• •Responsiveness: Ensure the layout adapts correctly (e.g., Sidebar collapsing on smaller screens).
• •Type Safety: Use TypeScript interfaces for all component props where applicable.
