GAIAでGitHub + Figmaを自動化
Link design specs to code PRs and notify designers when code ships
Design and engineering teams work in parallel — designers in Figma, developers in GitHub — but the handoff between the two is rarely smooth. Developers hunt for the right Figma frame while the designer has already moved to the next screen. Designers have no idea when their designs have shipped to production. Reviews happen in separate tools with no shared context, and version mismatches between the design file and the live implementation go unnoticed until QA catches them.
GAIA connects GitHub and Figma to create a continuous link between design specifications and the code that implements them. When a developer opens a pull request, GAIA can automatically attach the relevant Figma frame or component as a comment on the PR so reviewers can compare design intent against implementation without leaving GitHub. When that PR merges, GAIA notifies the designer in Figma (or via their preferred channel) so they can verify the implementation and sign off.
This integration is a game-changer for product teams practicing design-led development. Designers stay in the loop on engineering progress without polling developers, developers always have the right spec attached to their PR, and nothing ships that the design team hasn't been able to review.
5 自動化できること
GitHubとFigmaが接続されているときにGAIAができるすべてのこと。
Attach Figma specs to pull requests automatically
When a developer opens a PR, GAIA searches for the matching Figma frame based on the branch name, PR title, or a Figma link in the PR body, then posts a direct preview link as a PR comment so reviewers can compare implementation against design intent instantly.
Notify designers when their designs ship
GAIA monitors for merged PRs that implement specific Figma components or screens and sends a notification to the responsible designer via Figma comments, Slack, or email so they can verify the live implementation matches the approved design.
Track design implementation status in Figma
GAIA updates Figma frame annotations or comments with GitHub PR status — open, in review, merged, or reverted — giving designers a real-time implementation tracker directly inside their design files.
Flag design-code mismatches for review
When a Figma component is updated after a related PR has already been merged, GAIA creates a GitHub issue flagging the potential discrepancy between the new design and the shipped code so the team can decide whether to update the implementation.
Generate design change changelogs from Figma to GitHub
When a designer publishes a new version of a Figma component library, GAIA posts a summary of the changes as a GitHub issue or PR comment on affected repositories so developers know which components may need implementation updates.
設定方法
GitHubとFigmaを3ステップでGAIAに接続。
- 1
Connect GitHub and Figma to GAIA
Link your GitHub repositories and Figma team files through GAIA's integration settings. GAIA uses GitHub OAuth and a Figma personal access token to read file structures and post comments without needing editor permissions.
- 2
Set up your design-to-code mapping
Tell GAIA how to match GitHub branches or PRs to Figma pages and frames — whether by naming convention, explicit Figma links in PR descriptions, or component names. You can configure notification preferences for designers per file or page.
- 3
GAIA bridges design and code automatically
GAIA handles the communication between Figma and GitHub continuously. Design specs appear on PRs without developer effort, and designers receive automatic updates when their work ships — no Slack pings or status meetings required.
