What it does

“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.”
The author's description, from SKILL.md

Generated summary from the skill's own text

Orchestrates multi-phase design system builds in Figma from code. Creates variables, components with bindings, documentation pages, and theming setups by running discovery analysis, then building foundations, file structure, component libraries, and final QA in strict sequence across 20–100+ API calls.

When to use it

  • Building a complete design system library in Figma from scratch or updating existing ones
  • Creating individual components with variable bindings and proper variant states in Figma
  • Setting up color tokens, spacing scales, typography, and theming modes (light/dark)
  • Reconciling gaps between code design tokens and Figma design systems

When not to

  • Single one-off design tweaks in Figma not requiring system-wide changes
  • Creating ad-hoc designs without design tokens or variable bindings
  • When the figma-use skill is not also loaded
