cascade-analyze-figma-frame

cascade-analyze-figma-frame is a skill for Claude Code from bitovi/cascade-mcp. It costs 80 tokens per session (1,094 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for analyzing one Figma design frame from locally stored files. It uses the frame image, component-tree structure, comments, annotations, and related prompt to produce an analysis.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as a supporting step when local Figma frame files exist, especially before generating behavior questions or writing a Jira story.
Why use it?
It combines the visual design with its underlying structure and notes, so important interface details are not judged from the screenshot alone.

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

cascade-analyze-figma-frame 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 11d 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.

Analyze Figma Frame

Analyze a single Figma design frame using local files. This skill is designed to run as a subagent — it needs only filesystem access and LLM vision capability, no MCP tools.

When to Use

This is a sub-skill called as a subagent by parent skills (generate-behavior-questions, write-jira-story) during parallel frame analysis. Each subagent instance analyzes one frame.

Prerequisites

  • Frame data exists locally in .temp/cascade/figma/{fileKey}/frames/{dirName}/:
    • image.png — screenshot of the frame (use as vision input)
    • structure.xml — semantic XML of the Figma component tree
    • context.md — comments, annotations, connections to other frames
  • The analysis prompt exists at .temp/cascade/figma/{fileKey}/prompts/frame-analysis.md

Procedure

1. Read input files

Read these files from the frame directory:

  • image.png — View this image. This is the visual screenshot of the Figma frame. Use it as the primary input for visual analysis.
  • structure.xml — The semantic XML component tree. Cross-reference visual elements with their component names, variants, and properties.
  • context.md — Designer annotations, comments from stakeholders, connections to other frames. This provides intent and scope guidance.

2. Read analysis instructions

Read .temp/cascade/figma/{fileKey}/prompts/frame-analysis.md for the detailed analysis prompt.

3. Analyze the frame

Follow the analysis prompt instructions. Key analysis areas:

Page Structure
  • Header, navigation, layout regions
  • Visual hierarchy and content flow
Layout Structure Analysis
  • Grid dimensions (count rows, columns systematically)
  • Element mapping within the grid
  • Spacing and alignment patterns
Primary UI Elements
  • Buttons, forms, tabs, dropdowns — with exact labels from the design
  • Visual states: active, hover, disabled, selected, empty
  • Component names from structure.xml
Data Display
  • Tables, lists, cards, charts
  • Visual indicators (badges, status icons, progress bars)
  • Data formatting patterns
