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 | $0.00038 | $0.00563 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00225 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00113 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00056 |
Grade A, and why
figma-plugin 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 46 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Figma Plugin Development
Build plugins that extend Figma's functionality using the Plugin API.
Architecture
Figma plugins run in two threads communicating via postMessage:
- Main thread (sandbox): Plugin API access, node manipulation,
figma.*calls - UI thread (iframe): HTML/CSS/JS interface, no Figma API access, npm packages allowed
Key Principles
- Main thread handles all Figma document operations
- UI thread handles user interface and external APIs
- Communication between threads via
figma.ui.postMessage()andonmessage - Plugins must be performant — avoid blocking the main thread
Quick Start Checklist
- Set up project with
manifest.json(name, id, main, ui) - Create main thread code (
code.ts) with plugin logic - Create UI (
ui.html) with interface elements - Wire up postMessage communication between threads
- Test in Figma development mode
- Publish via Figma Community

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.

figma-plugin is a skill published in the GitHub repository bergside/design-md-figma (156 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 563 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
