Help articles

How-to articles for working in preset AI. The help drawer in the app answers from these, and links here when it cites one.

Article	What it covers
Assigning icons to roles	An icon role like delete or save names an action, and each role maps to exactly one glyph.
Color scale provenance	When you capture colors from a real product, preset AI lays each one onto a 12-step scale (light at the top, dark at the bottom).
Confirm your email	When you create a preset AI account with an email and password, we send one email to confirm the address. It has two ways to confirm. Use whichever is easier.
Connect your agents	Connect has one job: wire your AI coding agents to your design system so the code they generate defers to it. Every tool speaks MCP to the same preset AI endpoint.
What "Enforced" and "Guidance only" mean on a context rule	A context rule can be read by two different parts of preset AI, and they do not always agree.
Writing a context rule's file pattern	A context rule applies only to files whose path matches its file pattern. The same pattern decides where the build gate checks the rule, where coding agents are told about it, and which reviewer...
Derived baseline rules	When you create a design system, preset AI reads the tokens it extracted and derives a starting set of rules from them: the mechanical floor.
Exporting your design system artifacts	Every studio that holds a collection of artifacts lets you export that collection to a file with the Export action in its header.
Gallery freshness ("update available")	The gallery is a set of well-known design systems you can browse and pull into your workspace. Each one was captured at a point in time, and its upstream project keeps shipping.
Icons in context	An icon role like delete maps to one glyph at one weight. But the same role often wants a different glyph or size depending on where it renders: a roomy Trash in a confirmation dialog, a tighter...
Import a content style guide	If you already have a written content style guide, you do not have to retype it. When you first set up Content, choose Import style guide, paste or upload your guide, and preset AI reads it into the...
Per-member spend cap	Limit how many AI credits any single member of your organization can use per billing period, so one person can't spend the whole shared pool.
Releases: the versioned contract	A release is an immutable, semver-versioned snapshot of your compiled contract: every token your code, Figma plugins, and AI tools read, frozen at a point in time.
Review proposals	Proposals is where changes to your design system wait for a person. Nothing listed here has been applied yet: a proposal only changes your rules, tokens, or patterns when someone approves it.
Review your agent's proposals	When an agent connected over MCP proposes changes to your design system, such as a new rule, a scope rule, a principle, a pattern or token values, a change waiting for review is not applied yet.
Rule enforcement levels	Every governance rule (policies, naming conventions, accessibility rules) carries a status that tells your team and your AI tools how seriously to take it.
Tokens: the Compiled Contract browser	Tokens is the compiled contract of your design system: the single catalog of every token your code, Figma plugins, and AI tools read. Domain studios (Color, Typography, Motion, …) author values;
What an "unchecked" validation result means	When your coding agent validates code with preset AI, the result comes back with one of four verdicts. Three of them describe what the rules found.
Verify your connection	After you connect an editor or agent, the Connect page can confirm your agent is actually reaching your design system, not just that our gateway is up.
