# Figma Figma is the interface design tool. 2025 brings **Generative UI** (Text to Design) and **Dev Mode** enhancements for accurate CSS/SwiftUI generation. ## When to Use - **UI/UX Design**: Creating high-fidelity mocks. - **Prototyping**: Clickable user flows for user testing. - **Handoff**: Developers inspect CSS/variables directly. ## Core Concepts ### Auto Layout Flexbox for designers. Elements resize/reflow automatically. ### Components / Variants Reusable UI elements (Buttons) with states (Hover, Active). ### Dev Mode A dedicated view for engineers to grab variables, measurement, and code snippets without breaking the design. ## Best Practices (2025) **Do**: - **Use Variables**: Define colors/spacing as variables (Design Tokens). - **Use Auto Layout**: Always. It ensures the design can be implemented in CSS. - **Name Layers**: "Frame 1342" is helpful to no one. **Don't**: - **Don't detach instances**: Keep components linked to the library. ## References - [Figma Help](https://help.figma.com/)
