Figma agent vs. one button: shipping design tokens to npm (GitButler)

blog post · Story page

A looping conveyor with two robots passing a box and a stopwatch above it, and beneath it a single large button with a short arrow to the same box.

GitButler wired two agents together to release Figma design tokens to npm, and each run took six minutes. A button the plugin has had for years does the same job in seconds.

In plain words

  • A developer found that an existing button published shared design settings faster than a new artificial intelligence setup.
  • The new setup connected two automated assistants to carry out the publishing task.
  • For the developer, using the button meant waiting seconds instead of six minutes to finish the same job.
