AI-Driven Design & Code Solution
Budget: $30 – $250 SGD
Objective
To build a development IDE project for my university final year project that replicates the structure and standards of top-tier GitHub open-source repositories, enabling seamless two-way conversion between Figma designs and TypeScript code with the assistance of AI. The solution must work without third-party tools or APIs, ensuring full control, precision, and privacy.
Technology Stack
Programming Language: TypeScript
Backend: Custom server using a proprietary context/model protocol
AI Assistance: Integrated AI (e.g., GitHub Copilot or similar)
Version Control: GitHub
Project Scope
1. Figma-to-Code Integration
Develop a development IDE extension or tooling capable of parsing Figma data at various levels:
Artboard
Page
Design System
Component
Other layout metadata
Enable near-accurate conversion (targeting 95%+ visual and structural fidelity) from Figma to TypeScript/React components.
Use AI to interpret and assist in code generation based on extracted Figma specs.
Require minimal developer input—preferably via one or two commands.
2. AI ↔ Figma Communication
Create a custom Figma plugin in TypeScript to serve as a communication bridge:
AI to Figma: Interpret developer prompts to dynamically generate designs within Figma.
Figma to AI: Extract data directly from designs for use in AI-powered code generation.
Avoid any reliance on third-party APIs (e.g., no Builder.io, UXPilot, etc.).
Leverage all available official Figma APIs for maximum control over layers, design tokens, constraints, and variant systems.
3. Code Quality and Structure
Ensure all generated code:
Follows modern open-source standards (e.g., modular architecture, reusable components).
Is production-ready, readable, and scalable.
Aligns with popular UI libraries/frameworks when needed (e.g., React, TailwindCSS, etc., depending on design system used).
Key Use Cases
1. Figma to Code (AI-Powered)
Developer opens a Figma file in their development IDE.
AI fetches design specs in real time through the custom plugin.
Clean TypeScript components are suggested or auto-generated by AI based on Figma structure and styles.
2. AI to Figma (Natural Language to Design)
Developer types commands like:
“Generate a responsive login page with email and password inputs using the design system.”
The system sends commands from the development IDE to Figma.
Figma plugin dynamically creates layout/artboards using native components and design styles.
Deliverables
Fully functional project scaffold and IDE extension.
Custom Figma plugin (written in TypeScript).
Working prototypes for both main use cases (Figma-to-code, code-to-Figma).
Developer documentation:
Setup and installation
Usage guide
Plugin architecture
API references and commands
Request for Proposal (RFP)
Please provide the following:
Estimated Cost for end-to-end development.
Estimated Timeline for:
MVP / Prototype
Full Feature Set
Questions or Assumptions you need clarified to finalize your estimate.
Your experience with Figma plugin development, IDE extensions, and AI integration (if applicable).

While open-source tools like Builder.io, Bolt, and UXPilot offer partial solutions, this project aims to deliver greater accuracy, tighter Figma control, and full bi-directional sync using native APIs and AI-powered development workflows.
