A simple workflow to build design system in Cursor

Many designers want to design in Cursor using an existing design system, but they often run into challenges.

Integrating with production code can be complex and often requires significant engineering support—one reason why bridging design and code remains a headache for many teams.

This 2-hour workshop introduces a proven, practical workaround for design teams: building a design system in Cursor for design generation. It enables on-brand designs without the complexity of production code and makes handoffs and communication with engineers easier.

You’ll walk away with something you built step by step with us—a simple workflow you can use right away, grow over time, and share with your team to show why this approach is worth investing in.

Workshop agenda

  • 5:00PM EDT

    Setup & Onboarding

    Open Cursor, make sure Figma MCP runs, and get ready to start. The files and instructions will be sent a day before too.


  • 5:10PM EDT

    Figma to Cursor

    Turn components in Figma to code in Cursor. You'll follow along and build real components step by step.


  • 5:45PM EDT

    Iterate & Refine

    You'll fix issues, add interaction states, refine the details, and get components ready to be reused.


  • 6:15PM EDT

    Design Variations & Prototypes

    Now that you have components, put them to work. Generate design variations, build quick prototypes, and learn how to use skills and guideline.md to streamline tasks.


  • 6:45PM EDT

    Extra Q&A

    In addition to the live support throughout the workshop, you’ll get extra time to ask questions and get bugs fixed.
