Working in a highly regulated environment meant designs were constantly phased and scaled back to meet timelines, with vague promises of "phase 2" that rarely materialised. I was annotating endlessly, and trade-offs were getting lost or forgotten entirely.

So I vibe coded a Figma plugin (using Claude and Gemini) that lets you tag screens as north star or interim solution, log the reason for the trade-off, mark its impact, and track status over time. Changes populate a historical log, and selecting any entry teleports you back to the relevant screen in your file.

Next up: connecting it to a database so AI can surface a live dashboard of active design debt and help prioritise what to revisit.
