Turn Figma updates into Linear tickets with Watcher

Watcher at a glance

Watcher observes each Figma library publish and captures the real diff for components, variants, styles and tokens. Lyse turns that signal into structured work that teams can act on without rewriting context.

The goal is simple keep design and execution in lockstep with less effort and no missed updates.

From Figma publish to Linear issues

Lyse integrates with Linear so every relevant change lands as a clean issue ready to work. You can direct issues to the right team or project so the backlog reflects the current state of the design system.

This replaces copy paste and comment archaeology with tickets that already contain links and intent.

Cursor x Linear in practice

Pair Lyse with Cursor to create an agentic loop that moves routine updates forward. A change happens in Figma then Lyse opens a Linear issue then Cursor picks up the task and proposes a pull request then developers review and merge.

Linear now supports assigning work to Cursor the same way you assign to teammates which makes this loop natural for teams that already plan in Linear.

What your team gains

• Issues arrive at publish time so no one rewrites context from memory.

• Ownership stays clear since work can be routed to the correct team and project in Linear.

• Cursor receives enough context to act on component and variant updates while engineers keep final say through reviews.

• Agent workflows become practical for real backlogs as shown by teams adopting Linear for Agents with pull requests returned for review.

Ship faster with confidence

If your source of truth lives in Figma and your execution lives in Linear then Watcher closes the gap.

Design changes become ready tickets for developers and for Cursor so your design system evolves without handoff drag and with a clear path from intent to code.

Questions we hear from teams

How does this cut cycle time in your workflow ?

Every Figma publish becomes a ready Linear ticket with diff, links, and acceptance hints. Engineers or Cursor start immediately. Fewer pings and meetings, faster PRs. Measure publish to PR time, issues closed, and rework.

Will Cursor actually ship safe changes from these tickets ?

Lyse adds intent and Figma links. Cursor excels at style and layout updates and removals with PRs. New components still need engineer pairing.

What happens when components are renamed or deprecated ?

Lyse detects renames and deprecations and links old to new with migration notes. Cursor updates imports and props and removes obsolete components.

Does this replace PMs or Design System Managers ?

No. It removes manual translation and bookkeeping so leaders focus on priorities and reviews. Gates stay intact in Linear with a traceable path from Figma to issue to PR.
