Research direction

Start by reading the .figma file handling and CLI entry points to see where configuration properties are defined and consumed. The issue asks for an instructions property that works with MCP, and asks whether code comments are picked up; clarify that behavior and define what support means before implementing. Done when CLI users can provide instructions through .figma files and the comment behavior is answered.

Description

feature request

Describe the feature you'd like:

  • Currently enterprise github does not work with the code connect UI, which has a button for adding mcp instructions.

  • It would be great if there was a "instructions" property we could add in the .figma files for those of us using the CLI for code connect.

  • Are comments that are added to the code connect picked up by the MCP?
