Empowering designers: AI, design systems, and quality
summary
LinkedIn’s design systems team treats the system as a queryable service: docs and specs live in the core Figma library, tokens flow through MCP into Figma Make, and a curated set of top 15 components plus layout rules power pre-baked templates. Templates include a dark mode switcher and a generator that returns three divergent design ideas, and mock content from the realish plugin is embedded. The result: lower onboarding friction for non-designers, more consistent LLM outputs, faster prototyping with higher fidelity, and measurable adoption across internal teams.
