What is figma-use-figjam?

A set of instructions for using Figma's automated plugin interface with FigJam, Figma's space for collaborative whiteboards and diagrams.

Use it to inspect or modify FigJam boards containing sections, sticky notes, connectors, and other collaboration elements.

It avoids mistakes caused by treating a FigJam board like a regular Figma design file.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high

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 →

Hidden instructions were detected in comments or invisible text. These could contain malicious directives. Manual review is recommended.

Fix: Audit all comments and invisible characters. Remove any instructions that direct the agent to perform unauthorized actions. Use plain, reviewable content.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00045	$0.02197
Opus 5	$0.00023	$0.01099
Sonnet 5	$0.00009	$0.00439
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00220

Security

Grade A, and why

figma-use-figjam 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.

use_figma — Figma Plugin API Skill for FigJam

This skill contains FigJam-specific context for the use_figma MCP tool. The figma-use skill provides foundational context for plugin API execution via MCP as well as the full Figma plugin API for more advanced use-cases that are not described here.

Always include figma-use-figjam in the comma-separated skillNames parameter when calling use_figma for FigJam operations. If this skill was loaded via an MCP resource, you MUST prefix the name with resource: (e.g. resource:figma-use-figjam). This is a logging parameter used to track skill usage — it does not affect execution.

FigJam URL is figma.com/board/.... Do NOT call figma.createPage() in FigJam — it throws TypeError: figma.createPage no such property 'createPage' on the figma global object. createPage() is a Design-file API only (figma.com/design/...). FigJam files have a single implicit page; organize content with sections instead (see create-section).

Inspecting FigJam Files

get_figjam is the inspection tool for FigJam files. It returns the full node tree as XML, including IDs of pages, sections, stickies, connectors, and other nodes you need to reference in subsequent use_figma calls.

Use get_figjam upfront before writing any use_figma code that needs to reference existing nodes (page IDs, section IDs, etc.). Don't try to discover IDs by running an inspection script — console.log output from use_figma is not returned to the agent (see figma-use Critical Rule #4). Only the return value comes back.
get_metadata does NOT work on FigJam files — it is design-mode only and will fail immediately with "unsupported for FigJam files".
get_screenshot requires a valid nodeId — passing an empty nodeId returns "invalid nodeId" error. Get IDs from get_figjam first.
If you forgot to return an ID from a previous use_figma call and need it now, call get_figjam rather than re-running an inspection script.

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.
