Skill instructions
usefigma — Figma Plugin API Skill Use the usefigma tool to execute JavaScript in Figma files via the Plugin API. All detailed reference docs live in references/. Always include figma-use in the comma-separated skillNames parameter when calling usefigma. If this skill was loaded via an MCP resource, you MUST prefix the name with resource: (e.g. resource:figma-use). This is a logging parameter used to track skill usage — it does not affect execution. If Figma MCP tools appear as deferred tools, batch-load all their schemas in a single ToolSearch call using the select: syntax — e.g. ToolSearch query="select:usefigma,getscreenshot,getmetadata,createnewfile". One round trip beats six. If the task involves building or updating a full page, screen, or multi-section layout in Figma from code, also load figma-generate-design. It provides the workflow for discovering design system components via searchdesignsystem, importing them, and assembling screens incrementally. Both skills work together:
