A workflow for building or updating a shared design system in Figma from an existing codebase. It covers reusable design tokens, components, themes, and documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create variables, component variants, light and dark themes, design foundations, and documented library components.
Why use it?
It helps align the Figma design library with the code and identify gaps between them.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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-library 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 8 executable files (scripts/bindVariablesToComponent.js, scripts/cleanupOrphans.js, scripts/createComponentWithVariants.js, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Design System Builder — Figma MCP Skill

Build professional-grade design systems in Figma that match code. This skill orchestrates multi-phase workflows across 20–100+ use_figma calls, enforcing quality patterns from real-world design systems (Material 3, Polaris, Figma UI3, Simple DS).

Prerequisites: The figma-use skill MUST also be loaded for every use_figma call. It provides Plugin API syntax rules (return pattern, page reset, ID return, font loading, color range). This skill provides design system domain knowledge and workflow orchestration.

Always include figma-generate-library 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-library). This is a logging parameter — it does not affect execution.


1. The One Rule That Matters Most

For every phase, follow this communication contract.

Before starting a phase:

  • Post a user-facing checklist titled Phase N Checklist.
  • Include every task/subtask that will be attempted in that phase.
  • Include the phase exit criteria.
  • Do not begin mutating work for the phase until this checklist has been posted.

During execution:

  • Before each major subsection, post a short update naming the exact section being worked on, using this format: Working on Phase N.X: <section name>
  • Keep updates concise, but make the current work visible.
  • When a subsection completes, mark it as completed in the running checklist if the interface supports checklist/status updates; otherwise mention completion in the next progress update.

At the end of each phase:

  • Post a Phase N Summary with:
    • Completed tasks
    • Created or changed Figma objects
    • Validations performed
    • Decisions or conflicts resolved
    • Remaining risks or follow-ups
  • Then show the required phase artifact for that phase and continue automatically.

Stable Task IDs

Use one task ID format everywhere: P{phase}.{step}.
