Figma Integration skill

Keep Figma and code in sync. Map the 3-tier DTCG tokens to Figma Variables (collections + modes), sync in either direction, use the Figma MCP when connected, and verify component parity (variants/states). Use when the user wants to push tokens/components to Figma, pull a design into code, set up token↔Variable sync, or check design-code drift.

Install Figma Integration

Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.

$npx skills add plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills --skill figma-integration

The open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.

01

Install it

Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.

02

Ask naturally

Describe the task. Your agent loads figma-integration when the request matches its description.

03

Name it if needed

If it does not trigger, say “use the figma-integration skill”. In Codex, type $figma-integration.

Skill: Figma Integration

Requirements

This skill needs the full UX/UI Agent Skills kit: the gates, the references and the design-system library. Install it with npx ux-ui-agent-skills@3.1.0 init or as the Claude Code plugin. npx skills@1.7.6 add copies the skill folder and nothing else. Installed that way, this skill runs in guidance-only mode: no gate runs, so it gives no verdict.

Step 0: is the kit here? Check once: ls ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo KIT_OK || echo KIT_MISSING On KIT_MISSING, open your reply with: "Guidance-only mode: the UX/UI Agent Skills kit is not installed here, so no gate ran and nothing below is measured." Then work from this file and general practice, under three rules. Do not guess or cite the contents of a kit file you could not open. State no measured number (no contrast ratio, no N/N, no "passes WCAG"): write "not verified" where one would go. End with a line Skipped (kit not installed): that names every gate script this file tells you to run, then the install command above.

Bridge design (Figma) and code (this repo) in both directions. The token JSON stays the source of truth; Figma Variables mirror it.

Steps

  1. Read ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../workflows/figma-integration.md (token↔Variable mapping, sync directions, MCP usage, parity).
  2. Map the 3-tier hierarchy → three Figma collections (Primitives → Semantic → Component) with aliasing; dark/brand/density → Figma Modes (${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens/theming.json).
  3. Choose ONE authoritative sync direction (code→Figma publish, or Figma→code extract via Tokens Studio / Variables REST API). The other side is generated. Never hand-edit both.
  4. If a Figma MCP server is connected: prefer its tools/skills (load its mandatory prerequisite skill first). Use it to read frames/variables/screenshots into code, build Variables/components from our tokens, or wire Code Connect to ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../components/*.
  5. Check component parity: Figma variants/properties must cover our variants + sizes + the 8 states; flag gaps.

Verification (definition of done)

  • Every Figma Variable resolves to a token in ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens/*.json (no orphan hex in designs).
  • One authoritative direction; the generated side has zero hand edits.
  • Variant sets cover all 8 states; Code Connect points to the right ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../components/* file.
  • After any token import: python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../scripts/validate_tokens.py passes.

Tips for Figma Integration

  • • Start a fresh session after installing so your agent picks up the new skill.
  • • It is part of a pack with 26 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
  • • If two skills overlap, mention the one you want by name.

Questions about Figma Integration

What does the Figma Integration skill do?

Keep Figma and code in sync. Map the 3-tier DTCG tokens to Figma Variables (collections + modes), sync in either direction, use the Figma MCP when connected, and verify component parity (variants/states). Use when the user wants to push tokens/components to Figma, pull a design into code, set up token↔Variable sync, or check design-code drift.

How do I install Figma Integration?

Run "npx skills add plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills --skill figma-integration" in your project. The skills CLI installs it for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ other agents. In Claude on the web, upload the skill folder as a ZIP under Customize > Skills.

Does Figma Integration work in Cursor and Codex?

Yes. Figma Integration uses the open SKILL.md format, so it works in Claude Code, Claude, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and other agents that support agent skills.

Is Figma Integration free?

Figma Integration is open source on GitHub under the MIT license. It is free to install; check the license before commercial use.
