The Steps
This automation runs in 4 steps:
- When Figma: New Comment
- Then Taskade AI: Ask an agent ("Design System Guide")
- Then Filter: continue only when the comment is a question the design system answers
- Then Figma: Post Comment
What makes this different from a Zapier-style flow?
The "Design System Guide" step is not a one-off model call. It is a Taskade AI agent that knows your components, tokens and usage rules, remembers the questions it already answered, so every run builds on the last one instead of starting from an empty prompt.
A stateless "ask the model" step forgets everything the moment it returns. An agent keeps its knowledge and its memory between runs, carries its own tools, and can be handed work by your other automations.
Who is this automation for?
Built for design system teams that field repeat questions. A named agent answers comment questions that your design system covers and posts the reply on the file.
