The post "6 easy ways to use the Figma agent right now" (9 Nov 2026) gathers six workflows with exact prompts and steps.

## What's new / How it works

| Workflow | What you do |
|---|---|
| Annotate designs using transcripts | Click **+** in the agent's chat box, open **Connectors**, connect your notes app (Granola, Notion, Google Drive) and share the transcript link. |
| Turn design comments into next steps | Select the frames with comments and prompt: "Summarize the feedback on these designs and suggest updates." Optionally save the `/comments-do-try-consider` skill from Figma Community. |
| Create custom shaders | Select a photo and describe the effect (e.g. a grainy, vintage look); `/shader-starter` helps if you're new to shaders. |
| Spin up multiple directions at once | Open **Libraries** in the prompt menu, select your team's library and ask for several layout variations. |
| Turn static designs into code layers | Select the frame, choose **Build this with code** and describe the interaction, such as swiping a card stack. |
| Add and experiment with motion effects | Ask for two animation variations, switch the toolbar toggle to **Motion** and press play to compare. |

## Why it matters

The agent works with context beyond the canvas (connectors to notes and drive), your team library and code layers. Skills from Figma Community make repeatable workflows shareable. The post comes from the vendor and doesn't evaluate output quality, so check results on your own files.

## How to start

1. Open a file with a finished design and the Figma agent.
2. Pick one workflow from the table; summarizing comments is easiest because it needs no connector.
3. For layout variations, select your library under **Libraries** first so the agent uses your components.
4. Compare the result with the original and refine the prompt; save good prompts as a skill.
