How do I set up issueclaw and figmaclaw for my team?

Both are open-source and available on GitHub. You'll need Linear and Figma API access, a git repo to store the markdown, and a way to trigger the sync (CI/CD, scheduled job, or webhook). The repositories include documentation and examples. Start with a pilot project if you're not sure.

Will this slow down my design or product workflow?

No. The mirror is read-only from Linear and Figma's perspective. You keep using those tools exactly as you do now. The markdown export happens automatically in the background. The only change is that your team gains a new search layer — it's pure addition.

Can I use this if my team uses Jira instead of Linear?

Not with these specific tools, but the pattern is portable. Both tools are open-source, and community members have discussed adaptations for other systems. The core idea — mirror source systems into git-native markdown — works with any API-accessible tool.

What if I use Penpot or Sketch instead of Figma?

figmaclaw is Figma-specific, but again, the pattern is replicable. You'd need to adapt it for your design tool's API, but the structure — metadata layer plus human-readable summaries — is universal.

Why Your Product Team is Living in Three Incompatible Worlds (And How to Fix It)

Product decisions live in Linear. Design lives in Figma. Code lives in git. What happens when you need to answer a question that touches all three? Spoiler: it's broken. Here's how a pair of open-source tools is fixing it.

Three interconnected systems (Linear, Figma, Git) converging into a unified searchable text layer

⚡ Key Takeaways

Product decisions, design details, and code live in incompatible systems — creating friction for both humans and AI when answering cross-system questions 𝕏
issueclaw and figmaclaw mirror Linear and Figma into git-native markdown, turning three separate tools into a single searchable knowledge layer 𝕏
This pattern unlocks workflows that are impossible today: design-to-code consistency checks, finding stale assumptions, discovering duplicated patterns, and cross-system reasoning without manual context-switching 𝕏
