Overview

This VS Code extension brings visual AI development capabilities directly into your local environment. Build and edit React components, CSS, and layouts as visually as you would in Figma, but with the precision and power of code—all without leaving your editor.

Key Features

Visual Code Editing

Edit your React components, CSS, and layouts visually with real-time preview. Your changes are live in your actual codebase, so you see exactly how they look and behave.

Design System Intelligence

The AI understands your design system patterns and automatically uses the correct components, tokens, and styling conventions from your existing codebase.

Seamless Figma Integration

• Copy and paste designs directly from Figma
• Combine multiple Figma screens into single components
• Use designs as context to update existing elements
• Automatically map Figma designs to your design system components

Multi-Format Context Support

Import and work with various file types:

• Figma designs
• PDF requirements
• Reference images
• Mockups and wireframes

MCP Integration

Connect to your entire tech stack through MCP (Model Context Protocol):

• Google Docs & Confluence
• Internal APIs and databases
• Any tool with an MCP server

Enterprise-Ready

• Granular permissions and access control
• Role-based editing restrictions
• Secure integration with existing workflows

Perfect For

Designers

Finally see your vision live in the actual codebase. Import Figma designs and watch them become functional components. Edit visually until they're pixel-perfect—no more "that's not quite right" feedback cycles.

Developers

Generate clean, consistent UIs using your existing design system patterns. Describe what you need in plain English and focus on logic while AI handles visual implementation.

Product Managers

Ship interface changes without waiting for development cycles. Make updates using natural language prompts and create PRs for team review.

Design System Teams

Enforce patterns automatically. The AI understands not just what components to use, but how to use them correctly in different contexts.
