My feed is filled with the Müller-Brockmann skill. Just feeding a classic design text book and making a skill from it and it feels like a cheap shortcut.
There are many great principles in his book, but so many of those concepts require a lot of care to implement on the web, especially with respect to baselines and alignment and the results shown illustrate these shortcomings.
The idea could be cool, but you need to do the work.

A thread of @figma agent prompt examples / screen recordings I helped bring to life to get you started on automations (with 🎵 made on my OP-XY): 🧵
1.) Explore design directions
Prompt: Give me 3 style options for this design, one that's organic, one modern, and one retro.

Building fast is table stakes now. The harder problem is whether what ships still matches what you meant (and whether you catch your blind spots before they ship with it). New article on what it can look like when the canvas and codebase stay in conversation.

One of my favorite new updates to @figma Draw dropped today! Hold ⌘ key (Ctrl on Windows) when you have a brush selected to make it your current brush.
Pick up from where you left off with your illustration, or build your palette on the canvas!

non-designers who have never designed anything: "designers are cooked!"
people who have worked in code, want to work in code, always will work in code: "future of design is code!"
companies selling tokens: "move that button 4px with a prompt!"

For those who are very deep in their usage of handing over all kinds of tasks to AI agents, what specific moment gave you the necessary trust that it was able to reach your threshold for quality?

I would love if @Logitech mice lasted more than a year before the buttons start malfunctioning with missed clicks. Always the same issue.
