Figma-to-code contracts that survive a sprint

We do not estimate screenshots. We estimate named components with auto-layout and a token file. Anything else is a painting, and paintings slip every sprint.

The inspect ritual is thirty minutes with design and engineering before the estimate. We write the exceptions in the ticket: this is a one-off, this maps to Button, this spacing is wrong in the file.

Inspect together

A hallway conversation after merge is how padding wars start. Shared inspect kills a week of Slack. The file is the contract only after both sides have walked it.

Auto-layout is non-negotiable for anything that will flex. Absolute positioning in Figma becomes magic numbers in CSS. We send those frames back.

Name the layers

Frame 1278 is not a component. PrimaryButton / large / disabled is. Naming is a gift to the person who implements at 11pm.

Contracts that survive a sprint are boring, named, and inspected. That is the work.
