Designing for code
summary
Design files should mirror the codebase and cut endless back-and-forth: use Figma to build a documented components views prototype workflow that maps to React components, link everything from a Jira ticket to a canonical URL, and capture states and behavior instead of pixel redlines. The recommended three-page structure (components, views, prototype) makes prototypes self-updating, reduces implementation questions, and speeds delivery while keeping exploration separate from production-ready files.
