Input design file like sketch, with annotations or an interactive url like framer, then export production ready (for the most part) the html, css, and javascript. What is the closest you know of?

I have something that is still private, based on my own take (https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof (hof gen))

I think there are some plugins for sketch / figma that will output React?

The hard part for design tool to prod code is understanding the data model and knowing how to call an API. I think you want to go a different way, from data model to all the other things, then touch up / add custom code.
