Export CSS and code snippets

Export CSS and code snippets 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

I need the CSS and code snippets for the login component so engineers can integrate it. Export the CSS for the container, inputs, button, and the responsive breakpoints used in Release‑v1; paste the snippets into a document and label which selector corresponds to which layer name.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I send code to the devs, make it easy to copy: surface the class names and generated CSS at the top, show the responsive media queries, and flag any styles that rely on tokens not yet in the global styles. If a value is tokenized, replace it with the token name; if not, suggest the token to create.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

I exported CSS but it references tokens that don't exist in the shared library.

I exported CSS for the header and it uses color tokens that are not in the shared library; I worry engineers will create ad‑hoc values and lose consistency. I cannot tell whether those tokens were supposed to be added earlier or if the current palette is temporary. Should I ask the design lead to publish the tokens, send the raw values to engineering, or create provisional token names? Recommend the best immediate action and the wording for a quick note to engineering.

Become — change the pattern

Handing off code snippets repeatedly causes devs to reimplement tokens.

We keep shipping CSS with hardcoded values so engineering creates their own tokens and we fracture the design system. Which habit should change: stop exporting until tokens exist, add a mandatory tokenization step, or pair with an engineer during handoff? Recommend one habit to adopt, two concrete enforcement steps, and a one‑line policy to add to the release checklist.

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.
