Layntra

Turn product ideas into editable Figma designs—with an explicit plan before anything changes.

Layntra is a Codex plugin for product managers and other non-developers. Invoke $layntra, choose the target, review the plan, and apply only when you are ready. Every result remains editable in Figma.

Download

Download Layntra v0.1.0

On the release page, download layntra-figma-plugin.zip under Assets, then unzip it—do not import the ZIP itself. Follow step 4 below to choose the included plugin file. This download is the Figma side of Layntra; the Codex plugin is installed in step 1 below.

Quick start

Requirements: macOS, Node.js 20+, Codex Desktop or CLI, and Figma Desktop. Use a personal Starter workspace if an organization Dev/Collab/View seat cannot run Design plugins.

1. Clone this repository and run ./scripts/install.sh to install the Codex plugin.
2. Download and unzip the Figma companion using the button above.
3. Open a Design file in Figma Desktop.
4. Choose Plugins → Development → Import plugin from manifest… and select layntra-figma-plugin/manifest.json from the unzipped download. If you cloned the repository, apps/figma-plugin/manifest.json is the same plugin.

5. Run Plugins → Development → Layntra for Figma and keep its window open.
6. Start a new Codex task and enter:

$layntra status

Then inspect without writing:

$layntra review selection
Check hierarchy and missing loading, empty, and error states.
Do not modify Figma.

Plan and apply separately:

$layntra plan selection
Improve hierarchy. Preserve all copy and brand colors.

$layntra apply

Layntra re-reads the result after writing. To recover immediately, enter $layntra undo; it refuses if the Figma target changed after the apply.

Why the explicit command?

Ordinary conversation is not a reliable control surface. $layntra makes the active plugin, file, page, selection, mode, and write boundary visible. Read-only intents never modify Figma; write intents wait for your approval.

Architecture and privacy

Codex Skill → local stdio/MCP bridge → loopback WebSocket → Figma companion

The bridge binds to 127.0.0.1:3846. Layntra needs no Figma API token, hosted Layntra account, or telemetry. Codex model data handling remains governed by your Codex configuration; “local bridge” does not mean the AI model is offline.

Writes are limited to supported editable nodes and batches of at most 100. Deletion and arbitrary code execution are not exposed in v0.1.0.

Development

npm run verify

See CONTRIBUTING.md for architecture and test expectations.
