What it does

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

Generated summary from the skill's own text

This skill enables creating and updating generative plugins for Figma's Design editor. The agent authors TypeScript code and UI files that run as reusable plugins with configurable controls and validation feedback, then deploys them via the generative plugin API.

When to use it

  • User asks to build a new Figma plugin with custom functionality
  • User needs to modify or fix an existing generative Figma plugin
  • Creating a Figma tool with UI controls and message-based communication
  • Building plugins that transform Figma canvas content or provide design utilities

When not to

  • Embedding API keys or authentication tokens in plugin source code
  • Creating Figma plugins outside the Design editor context
  • Building plugins that require new manifest files beyond code and UI replacement
