figma-generate-design

figma-generate-design is a skill for Claude Code from app-builders-club/design-builder. It costs 160 tokens per session (5,109 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of figma-generate-design, MIT.

A workflow for turning application code or a description into a full-page screen in Figma, a collaborative interface-design tool.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating or updating pages and multi-section layouts in Figma by reusing published components, variables, and styles.
Why use it?
It helps keep generated screens consistent with an existing Figma design system instead of recreating styles manually.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

figma-generate-design 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 5d 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.

Build / Update Screens from Design System

Use this skill to create or update full-page screens in Figma by reusing the published design system — components, variables, and styles — rather than drawing primitives with hardcoded values. The key insight: the Figma file likely has a published design system with components, color/spacing variables, and text/effect styles that correspond to the codebase's UI components and tokens. Find and use those instead of drawing boxes with hex colors.

MANDATORY: You MUST also load figma-use before any use_figma call. That skill contains critical rules (color ranges, font loading, etc.) that apply to every script you write.

Always pass skillNames: "figma-generate-design" when calling use_figma as part of this skill. This is a logging parameter — it does not affect execution.

Skill Boundaries

  • Use this skill when the deliverable is a Figma screen (new or updated) composed of design system component instances.
  • If the user wants to generate code from a Figma design, switch to figma-implement-design.
  • If the user wants to create new reusable components or variants, use figma-use directly.
  • If the user wants to write Code Connect mappings, switch to figma-code-connect.

Prerequisites

  • Figma MCP server must be connected
  • The target Figma file must have a published design system with components (or access to a team library)
  • User should provide either:
    • A Figma file URL / file key to work in
    • Or context about which file to target (the agent can discover pages)
  • Source code or description of the screen to build/update

Parallel Workflow with generate_figma_design (Web Apps Only)

When building a screen from a web app that can be rendered in a browser, the best results come from running both approaches in parallel:

  1. In parallel:
    • Start building the screen using this skill's workflow (use_figma + design system components)
    • Run generate_figma_design to capture a pixel-perfect screenshot of the running web app
  2. Once both complete: Update the use_figma output to match the pixel-perfect layout from the generate_figma_design capture. The capture provides the exact spacing, sizing, and visual treatment to aim for, while your use_figma output has proper component instances linked to the design system. If the capture contains images, transfer them to your use_figma output by copying imageHash values from the capture's image fills (see Step 5 for details).
  3. Once confirmed looking good: Delete the generate_figma_design output — it was only used as a visual reference.
