  • convert-figma-to-codeFetches a Figma node and its rendered image from the Figma API and converts it to a code block. Requires FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable to be set.
  • generate-themeGenerates a custom Flowbite theme CSS file based on a brand color (hex format) and user instructions. The AI will intelligently analyze the instructions and customize ALL theme variables (border radius, spacing, colors, typography, etc.) to match the desired aesthetic. This tool creates color shades and variations, adapting the entire theme system to match your brand identity.
