Agent Skills for Figma
All skills →Skills that teach Claude, Codex or Cursor how to work with Figma.
This skill helps agents use Figma's use_figma MCP tool in the Slides context. Can be used alongside figma-use which has foundational context for using the use_figma tool.
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.
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.
This skill helps agents use Figma's use_figma MCP tool in the FigJam context. Can be used alongside figma-use which has foundational context for using the use_figma tool.
Motion / animation context for the `use_figma` MCP tool — animating Figma nodes via manual keyframes, animation styles, easing, and timeline duration. Load alongside figma-use whenever a task involves adding, editing, or inspecting animation on a node. Also covers working with custom animation styles.
Generate a FigJam project plan board from a PRD plus codebase context. Interactive flow: research → propose sections → per-section deep research → per-section content + block-shape proposal → create FigJam → skeleton → fill → diagrams → wrap. Each content block (section, nested section, intro callout, table, multi-column text, sticky column, diagram section, metadata strip) has its own subskill reference file. Use when the user asks for 'project plan in FigJam', 'interactive project plan', '/generate-project-plan', or provides a PRD and wants per-section confirmation on content + rendering.
This skill should be used when the user asks to analyze a UI screen recording and map interaction states into Figma. Trigger for requests such as "put video frames in Figma", "extract states from my recording", "map interactions from video to Figma", "analyze this screen recording", "create a storyboard from my video", "deconstruct this interaction in Figma", "annotate the UI states in my recording", or "pull the key moments from this video into Figma". Also trigger when the user references a video file (.mp4, .mov, .webm, .avi) together with Figma, design review, interaction analysis, prototypes, or UI states. The skill extracts key visual moments from a video, infers interaction triggers, and builds an annotated Figma Design storyboard using native Figma annotations and uploaded screenshot assets.
**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.
