How are you handling domain-specific skills and tooling in multi-agent dev teams? (Figma to Code bottleneck)
I've been experimenting with building a virtual dev team using AI agents. On paper, the organizational structure looks great: roles and responsibilities (PM, Designer, Engineer) are clearly divided and make intuitive sense.
However, once execution starts, a clear bottleneck emerges: the agents understand their role identity, but lack deep domain workflows and proactive tool habits.
A concrete example: When I ask the "Designer" agent to create a UI mockup, it defaults to generating isolated images rather than working inside standard design tools like Figma. It only touches Figma if I explicitly micromanage the prompt and instruct it to use the tool/API.
This creates handoff friction:
- Tool-native work: Instead of prompting roleplay ("You are a senior UI/UX designer"), how do you inject actionable domain practices so an agent naturally adopts standard tooling workflows?
- Design-to-code handoff: When passing mockups to the "Developer" agent, what setups actually produce high-fidelity code directly mapped to design tokens, layout trees, or Figma components, rather than generic visual guesses?
Are there established best practices, frameworks, or prompt architectures for structuring multi-agent teams so roles behave like actual functional specialists rather than generalist chatbots wearing titles?
Curious how others here have solved domain knowledge grounding and automated handoffs between specialized agents.
