Create and use libraries

Create and use libraries in Figma — with the four heights of help laid out: do it now, make it easier for the next person to accept, work out the right move when you are stuck, and learn the pattern so it stops coming back.

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task

Publish the UI library update with the new badge component and version notes, then push the library to the mobile and web files and notify the design and frontend squads. Ensure the token map for color and spacing is synchronized before publishing, confirm no breaking renames, and ask engineers to pull before their sprint demo on Tuesday.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I publish the library, make it easy for engineers and mobile designers to accept the update. Show the diff for token changes, surface components that will change visually on mobile breakpoints, and flag any renames that require code changes. Provide a short upgrade note that tells engineers exactly which tokens to import and what known regressions to watch for.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

I published a library and Android builds failed CI

I just published a library update that renamed a spacing token and Android CI started failing. I can’t see the build logs from here. What is the most likely mismatch between our tokens and the codebase, what immediate message should I send to the Android lead to buy time, and what’s the fastest rollback or patch I can make in the library to unblock builds?

Become — change the pattern

Library publishes keep breaking platform builds

Each library publish seems to create platform build failures or duplicated tokens and engineers complain they can’t rely on our releases. Are we failing on semantic token contracts, release communication, or on automation that should catch breaking changes? Recommend one change to publishing discipline, one automation check, and one cross-team habit to restore trust over the next two releases.

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
