figma-generate-design

figma-generate-design is a skill for Codex from PracticalSwan/agent-skills. It costs 192 tokens per session (8,330 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of figma-generate-design, MIT.

A workflow for building or updating complete screens and multi-section layouts in Figma from an existing design system. A design system is a shared set of components, colors, spacing, and text styles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating pages, views, modals, dialogs, drawers, sidebars, panels, and other composed Figma layouts from application code or an existing design system.
Why use it?
It helps keep new screens consistent with the application's existing visual rules instead of rebuilding each element separately.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: reads ~/.codex or $CODEX_HOME. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

Good fit Creating pages, views, modals, dialogs, drawers, sidebars, panels, and other composed Figma layouts from application code or an existing design system.

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 yesterday.

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 and Views from Design System

Use this skill to create or update screens, views, and multi-section UI containers in Figma by reusing the published design system — components, variables, and styles — rather than drawing primitives with hardcoded values. This includes full pages, modals, dialogs, drawers, sidebars, panels, and any composed view with multiple sections. 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 include figma-generate-design in the comma-separated skillNames parameter when calling use_figma as part of this skill. If this skill was loaded via an MCP resource, you MUST prefix the name with resource: (e.g. resource:figma-generate-design). This is a logging parameter — it does not affect execution.

Skill Boundaries

  • Use this skill when the deliverable is a composed Figma view (new or updated) — full-page screens, modals, dialogs, drawers, sidebars, panels, or any multi-section container — built from design system component instances.
  • 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 must provide a target Figma file (URL or fileKey). If they don't have one yet, invoke /figma-create-new-file (or call create_new_file) first and reuse the returned file_key. Both use_figma and generate_figma_design require an existing fileKey.
  • Source code or description of the screen/view to build/update

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.
