Design Handoff

Bridges the gap between design and engineering by generating comprehensive handoff specs that actually cover what developers need to know. Feed it a Figma URL or design description and it produces structured documentation covering measurements, design tokens, interaction states, responsive breakpoints, edge cases, and accessibility requirements. The real value is in the completeness: it won't let you skip hover states, loading spinners, or what happens when text is too long. If you've ever implemented a design and had to ping the designer twelve times about missing details, this preemptively answers those questions. Works best when you can share actual Figma links for precise measurements.
