Your Design System Has Two Codebases. Let's Fix That.
Figma is where your Design System lives. Jetpack Compose is how it's built. But when developers open Figma Dev mode, they see generic Jetpack Compose scaffolding - not your actual components. So they search, guess, or roll their own. Design drift happens silently.
In this talk, I'll show how Figma Code Connect bridges that gap: developers see real Design System snippets directly in Figma, with the right Composable and the right parameters. We'll also cover pairing Code Connect with Figma MCP, so your AI coding assistant speaks your Design System's language instead of vanilla Compose.
Plus: how we scaled Code Connect across a large component library using Claude Code - the prompts that worked and the mistakes we made.
