What is figma-cli CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for Figma CLI, a TypeScript command-line program that uses Figma's web API to inspect design files and export their contents.

Use them to retrieve file structures, nodes, frames, components, styles, variables, design tokens, and exported images or documents from Figma.

They explain how to build and run the CLI when the official Figma integration is unavailable or restricted, while keeping its commands and release checks organized.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01986	$0.01986
Opus 5.5	$0.00794	$0.00794
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00397	$0.00397
Haiku 4.5	$0.00199	$0.00199

Security

Grade A, and why

figma-cli CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Project Overview

figma-cli (figma) is a TypeScript CLI for Figma that serves as a lightweight alternative to the official Figma MCP server (blocked by org MCP registry policy). It wraps the Figma REST API as shell commands, usable by any AI agent with shell access.

The CLI implements 16 commands across 10 command groups:

File operations (3 commands):

figma files get — Get file structure and metadata
figma files nodes — Get specific nodes by ID
figma files frames — List all frames in a file

Image export (1 command):

figma images export — Export nodes as PNG/SVG/JPG/PDF (two-step: get URLs → download files)

Components (3 commands):

figma components list — List components in a file
figma components search — Search components by name (client-side filter)
figma components team — List published team components

Styles (2 commands):

figma styles list — List styles in a file
figma styles team — List published team styles

Variables & Tokens (2 commands):

figma variables list — List local variables (native Figma variables)
figma tokens export — Extract design tokens in W3C format (colors, spacing, sizes, typography, shadows)

Collaboration (2 commands):

figma comments list — List comments on a file
figma comments add — Add a comment (only write operation)

Other (3 commands):

figma me — Current user info (verify token)
figma versions list — Version history
figma projects list / figma projects files — Team projects and files

Utility:

figma install --skills — Install AI agent skill files (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot)
figma uninstall --skills — Remove installed skill files

Tech Stack

Language: TypeScript (ES2022, NodeNext modules, strict mode)
Runtime: Node.js >= 22 (uses native fetch, no HTTP library)
CLI framework: Commander.js
Output styling: Chalk
Design tokens: Custom W3C extractor (ported from figma-mcp-free)
No test framework yet

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
