Figma's agent gets shareable skills and outside tools, not just chat

The headline items from Config 2026, Motion and shaders, are flashy, but the more consequential change is buried in the agent update: it now supports custom skills you can save and share across a team, web search, MCP connectors to external tools, and file attachments, all inside the design file rather than a bolted-on chat panel. New threads are also visible by default to teammates with edit access. That's a real shift from prompting a chatbot toward building persistent, reusable workflows a whole team can run. Most of this is open beta and free of AI credits for now, so treat availability and pricing as unsettled.
