Lyse x Github with Watcher

Watcher at a glance

Watcher observes each Figma library publish and captures the real diff on components variants styles and tokens.

Lyse turns that signal into work your team can pick up without rewriting specs or chasing screenshots so design and delivery stay aligned.


From Figma publish to GitHub issues

Lyse integrates with GitHub so every relevant design system update lands as a clean issue in the repo you choose.

Each issue includes a plain summary of what changed, links to the component in Figma, and clear acceptance hints so engineers can act with confidence.


Copilot with GitHub in practice

Pair Lyse with GitHub Copilot to close the loop. A change happens in Figma then Watcher creates an issue then Copilot uses the context to propose a pull request for review.

This is ideal for style tweaks, layout adjustments, edits to existing components and variants, and safe removals. Engineers keep review and merge control.


What your team gains

  • Issues appear on publish so no one rewrites context from memory

  • Intent travels with the issue including why it changed and which component is affected

  • Copilot receives structured context to implement scoped diffs and open PRs

  • A traceable path from Figma change to issue to PR reduces rework and speeds reviews


Questions we hear from teams

How does this reduce cycle time ?

Each publish becomes a ready GitHub issue with the diff, links, and acceptance hints. Fewer pings and meetings and faster PRs.


What updates fit best for Copilot ?

Style and layout changes inside existing components and variants and clean removals. Net new components still benefit from human pairing.


Can we target specific repos or code owners ?

Yes. Route issues to the right repository and label ownership so the right team picks it up.


Does this replace PMs or Design System Managers ?

No. Lyse removes mechanical handoff work so leaders focus on priorities and reviews while protected branches keep final control with engineers.
