What it does

“**MANDATORY prerequisite** — you MUST invoke this skill BEFORE every `use_figma` tool call. NEVER call `use_figma` directly without loading this skill first. Skipping it causes common, hard-to-debug failures. Trigger whenever the user wants to perform a write action or a unique read action that requires JavaScript execution in the Figma file context — e.g. create/edit/delete nodes, set up variables or tokens, build components and variants, modify auto-layout or fills, bind variables to properties, or inspect file structure programmatically.”
The author's description, from SKILL.md

Generated summary from the skill's own text

This skill provides the Figma Plugin API and builder patterns (`$fig`) for agents to execute JavaScript operations in Figma files. It enables creating and editing nodes, binding variables to design tokens, building components with variants, and querying document structure without using raw Plugin API methods directly.

When to use it

  • Creating or editing frames, text, shapes, components, or instances in Figma
  • Building pages or screens with auto-layout and design system components
  • Binding design tokens and variables to component properties
  • Searching and bulk-updating existing nodes by selector or ID

When not to

  • Simple read-only file inspections better handled by direct Figma UI
  • Tasks requiring component creation workflows (use figma-generate-library instead)
  • Screen assembly from design systems (use figma-generate-design instead)
