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-create-new-file 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 2d 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 — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

create_new_file — Create a New Figma File

MANDATORY: load this skill before every create_new_file tool call. It encodes the plan-resolution decision tree, the editor-type contract, and the post-creation handoff to use_figma.

Use the create_new_file MCP tool to create a new blank Figma file in the user's drafts folder. This is typically used before use_figma when you need a fresh file to work with.

Skill Arguments

This skill accepts optional arguments: /figma-create-new-file [editorType] [fileName]

  • editorType: design (default), figjam, or slides
  • fileName: Name for the new file (defaults to "Untitled")

Examples:

  • /figma-create-new-file — creates a design file named "Untitled"
  • /figma-create-new-file figjam My Whiteboard — creates a FigJam file named "My Whiteboard"
  • /figma-create-new-file design My New Design — creates a design file named "My New Design"
  • /figma-create-new-file slides Q3 Review — creates a Slides presentation named "Q3 Review"

Parse the arguments from the skill invocation. If editorType is not provided, default to "design". If fileName is not provided, default to "Untitled".

Workflow

Step 1: Resolve the planKey

The create_new_file tool requires a planKey parameter. Follow this decision tree:

  1. User already provided a planKey (e.g. from a previous whoami call or in their prompt) → use it directly, skip to Step 2.

  2. No planKey available → call the whoami tool. The response contains a plans array. Each plan has a key, name, seat, and tier.

    • Single plan: use its key field automatically.
    • Multiple plans: ask the user which team or organization they want to create the file in, then use the corresponding plan's key.

Step 2: Call create_new_file

Call the create_new_file tool with:

Parameter Required Description
planKey Yes The plan key from Step 1
fileName Yes Name for the new file
editorType Yes "design", "figjam", or "slides"

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.
