Figma Design to Code
warpdotdev/warp
Turns a Figma frame or component into production code that matches the design, using the Figma MCP server and the project's own design system.
Use Design for UI/UX exploration, side-by-side design directions, interactive prototype previews, user selection, iteration, and design-to-code handoff through the hosted Design MCP app.

What it does
Design Exploration is an agent skill from BuilderIO/agent-native. Use Design for UI/UX exploration, side-by-side design directions, interactive prototype previews, user selection, iteration, and design-to-code handoff through the hosted Design MCP app.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering UI design and Design to code. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: A framework for building agentic apps.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve UI design
- Tasks that involve Design to code
Example prompts
- “/design-exploration”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Default to three variants unless the user asks for a different count
- Make variants structurally and stylistically distinct, not just color swaps.
- Each variant must be a compact, complete standalone HTML document that
- For product UI redesigns, prefer cleaner hierarchy, progressive disclosure,
- After present-design-variants, wait for the user's pick before
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e16da0c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
design.agent-native.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Design Exploration loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 917 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 917 words (~1,699 tokens).
“Use the Design app when a workflow needs visual UI exploration, prototype iteration, or a human-in-the-loop choice among design directions.”

When should I use Design Exploration?
Design Exploration fits situations like: tasks that involve UI design; tasks that involve Design to code.
How do I install Design Exploration in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add BuilderIO/agent-native --skill design-exploration -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/design-exploration in BuilderIO/agent-native) into .claude/skills/design-exploration in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Design Exploration in Codex?
Run `npx skills add BuilderIO/agent-native --skill design-exploration -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/design-exploration in BuilderIO/agent-native) into .agents/skills/design-exploration in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Design Exploration in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add BuilderIO/agent-native --skill design-exploration -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/design-exploration, .gemini/skills/design-exploration, .github/skills/design-exploration and .opencode/skills/design-exploration in your project.
What does Design Exploration need to run?
