Give your coding agent access to your Figma data. Implement designs in any framework in one-shot.
Description from the maker (original English)
A design harness for AI coding agents: design systems, design principles, icons and UI review.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Give your coding agent access to your Figma data. Implement designs in any framework in one-shot.
Let any LLM watch a video locally — and search everything it has ever watched.
Figma’s official server gives AI your design data so it can turn designs into code or describe them accurately. Connects to Figma’s cloud.

A design harness for AI coding agents. This plugin connects your agent to the Better Design MCP server, so the interfaces it builds use a real design system, follow design principles, and pass UI review checks.
This repository holds the plugin files only: the manifests, the MCP server entry and two skills. The Better Design server and its design systems run at better-design.com. Browse the catalog at better-design.com/design-systems.
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
build-with-better-design | Chooses a design system with the user, installs it, and builds on it |
review-ui-with-better-design | Reviews a screen for accessibility, visual design, copy clarity and spacing |
| Tool | How |
|---|---|
| Any terminal agent, no account | npx better-design |
| Gemini CLI | gemini extensions install https://github.com/better-designs/better-design-plugin |
| Claude Code | /plugin marketplace add better-designs/better-design-plugin, then /plugin install better-design@better-design |
| Claude Code, MCP only | claude mcp add --transport http better-design https://better-design.com/api/mcp |
| Any skills client | npx skills add better-designs/better-design-plugin |
| Any MCP client | Add the remote server https://better-design.com/api/mcp |
npx better-design needs no account. It connects Better Design to your coding tools and creates a free key with a small allowance. When the allowance runs out, the agent gives you a claim link that moves the key onto a free account.
Every other route opens a Better Design sign-in on the first connection. A free account works.
