Figma

figma-code-connect

Creates and maintains Figma Code Connect template files that map Figma components to code snippets. Use when the user mentions Code Connect, Figma component mapping, design-to-code translation, or asks to create/update .figma.ts or .figma.js files.

figma-code-workflows

Import or upload local HTML or project files into Figma, choose editable Design frames, runnable Code Layers or standalone Code (also known as Make), and repair imported previews. Use only when the user explicitly names editable Design layers, a runnable Code Layer, or a standalone Code/Make file, or supplies a Figma file key/link as the import destination. Generic code or code-component requests need output clarification before using this workflow.

figma-create-new-file

Always use this skill when the user wants to create a new Figma Design, FigJam, or Slides file. You MUST invoke this skill BEFORE every `create_new_file` tool call.

figma-design-to-code

**MANDATORY prerequisite** — you MUST invoke this skill BEFORE calling the `get_design_context` Figma MCP tool. You MUST trigger this skill whenever the user wants to implement, build, port, or code up a Figma design as code. Example prompts (not exhaustive) are 'implement this Figma design', 'build this screen from Figma', 'turn this Figma into code', 'design to code'. This skill provides critical instructions and steps to the agent on how to correctly implement Figma designs in code and must NOT be skipped.

figma-generate-design

Use this skill alongside figma-use when the task involves translating an application page, view, or multi-section layout into Figma. Triggers: 'write to Figma', 'create in Figma from code', 'push page to Figma', 'take this app/page and build it in Figma', 'create a screen', 'build a landing page in Figma', 'update the Figma screen to match code', 'convert this modal/dialog/drawer/panel to Figma'. This is the preferred workflow skill whenever the user wants to build or update a full page, modal, dialog, drawer, sidebar, panel, form, dashboard, list, table, card, header, message preview, or other composed product UI in Figma from code or a description—even when the user calls that composed UI a component. Discovers design system components, variables, and styles from Code Connect files, existing screens, and library search, then imports them and assembles views incrementally section-by-section using design system tokens instead of hardcoded values.

figma-generate-diagram

MANDATORY prerequisite — load this skill BEFORE every `generate_diagram` tool call. NEVER call `generate_diagram` directly without loading this skill first. Trigger whenever the user asks to create, generate, draw, render, sketch, or build a diagram — flowchart, architecture diagram, sequence diagram, ERD or entity-relationship diagram, state diagram or state machine, gantt chart, or timeline. Also trigger when the user mentions Mermaid syntax or wants a system architecture, decision tree, dependency graph, API call flow, auth handshake, schema, or pipeline visualized in FigJam. Routes to type-specific guidance, sets universal Mermaid constraints, and tells you when to use a different diagram type or skip the tool entirely (mindmaps, pie charts, class diagrams, etc.).

figma-generate-library

Build or update a professional-grade design system in Figma from a codebase. Use when the user wants to create variables/tokens, build component libraries, create individual components with proper variant sets and variable bindings, set up theming (light/dark modes), document foundations, or reconcile gaps between code and Figma. Also use when the user asks to create or generate any component in Figma — even a single one — since components require proper variable foundations, variant states, and design token bindings to be production-quality. This skill teaches WHAT to build and in WHAT ORDER — it complements the `figma-use` skill which teaches HOW to call the Plugin API. Both skills should be loaded together.

figma-generative-plugins

**MANDATORY prerequisite** — load this skill before calling `create_generative_plugin` or `update_generative_plugin`. Use when the user asks to create, author, change, fix, or extend a reusable generative Figma plugin.

figma-implement-motion

Translates Figma motion and animations into production-ready application code. Use when implementing animation/motion from a Figma design — user mentions "implement this motion", "add animation from Figma", "animate this component", provides a Figma URL whose node is animated, or when `get_design_context` returns motion data or instructs you to call `get_motion_context`.

figma-shaders

**MANDATORY prerequisite** — load this skill before calling `create_shader` or `update_shader`. Use when the user asks to create, author, change, fix, or iterate on a shader effect, shader fill, custom effect, custom fill, or procedural shader in Figma.

figma-spec

This skill is required to create, read, edit, review, or comment on Figma specs. You must read it when working on a PRD, brief, RFC or any kind of document in either a standalone Figma spec or a Figma spec embedded in a Figma Design or Figjam file.

figma-swiftui

SwiftUI ↔ Figma translation. Use whenever the user mentions Swift, SwiftUI, iOS, iPhone, or iPad — in EITHER direction — translating a Figma design into SwiftUI (design → code), or pushing SwiftUI views / screens / tokens back into a Figma file (code → design). Triggers on phrases like 'implement this Figma design in SwiftUI', 'build this screen in Swift', 'push this SwiftUI view to Figma', 'mirror my Swift code in a Figma file', or whenever a Figma URL appears alongside `.swift` files / an `.xcodeproj`. Routes to a direction-specific reference doc; loads alongside `figma-use` for the code → design path.
