What is the Joshu Figma connection?

Joshu connects to Figma through official OAuth and inspects the design files and teams you choose. It reads canvas comments, reviews version history notes, extracts style variables, and ties design decisions back to your project tasks. You work with an assistant who has a desk, a computer, and persistent memory, not a design tool plugin that closes when you leave the file.

Is my Figma data secure?

Yes. Every Joshu runs in its own isolated, sandboxed cloud computer. Design files, comments, and style assets Joshu reads stay in that private sandbox. Joshu only accesses projects you authorize, and your data is never used to train public AI models.

Will Joshu modify Figma files without asking?

Joshu reads files and inspects comments by default. It does not move layers or change design assets on canvas unless explicitly asked, and any comments Joshu leaves can wait for your approval.

What can Joshu access in Figma?

Only the teams, projects, and files authorized during OAuth setup. Joshu cannot view private draft files or client projects outside your approved permissions.

What is the difference between Figma plugins and Joshu?

Figma plugins only run while you have the Figma canvas open in your browser. Joshu is an assistant with persistent memory across Figma, Jira, Slack, email, and files. It tracks design feedback while you are offline and brings unresolved comments into your morning briefs.

Do I need a paid plan?

Joshu is $95 a month with a simple flat rate. That includes your sandboxed cloud computer, a dedicated US phone number, an @joshu.me email address, eight-level cortex memory, and all tool connectors, including Figma. There are no surprise usage tiers or seat markups.

Connect Joshu to Figma

Connect Figma so Joshu can check design review comments, locate brand assets, and summarize design changes for your team.

Figma

“What feedback did clients leave on the latest checkout wireframes in Figma?”

Joshu reads comments across the file, groups feedback by theme, and leaves an actionable summary on your desk.

“Find the design tokens for our secondary button styles.”

Joshu inspects the design system file, extracts the hex codes and padding values, and quotes them directly.

“Summarize the unresolved comments on the mobile onboarding flow.”

Joshu checks open comment threads across specified frames and lists outstanding design revisions.

Design feedback and style references in Figma connect directly to your daily project workflow.

What Joshu does

Joshu inspects Figma files to surface recent comment threads, extract design specifications, and summarize client feedback on visual prototypes. When stakeholders leave feedback on a design file, Joshu can roll open items into a structured punch list and stage it next to your engineering tickets.

What you do

Connect your Figma account via OAuth and choose which teams or project files Joshu should monitor. Set permissions so Joshu can read canvas comments and style guides while keeping confidential client prototypes private.

Why it sticks

Design discussions often stay isolated inside canvas comments that engineers and project managers miss. Joshu bridges that gap by extracting comments and design specs directly to your working desk.

Permissions and limits

Joshu accesses Figma through official OAuth scopes. It can read file metadata, inspect components, and post comments when authorized. It cannot access files outside the permissions of your connected Figma account.
