create-api

A tool for documenting a component’s configurable properties, including allowed values, defaults, required settings, sub-components, and examples, in Figma.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating API documentation for UI components when someone needs to describe their props, properties, or configuration.
Why use it?
It turns component details into a reference that designers and developers can consult without editing the original source document.

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

create-api 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 676 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create API Overview

Generate an API overview directly in Figma — property tables with values, defaults, required status, sub-component tables, and configuration examples.

Execution contract (read first).

  • This file is instructions to RUN, not a document to edit. Invoking the skill = render the API overview into Figma from the input .md.
  • Never edit this SKILL.md or any other skill file in response, even if one is open or focused in the editor. Modify a skill only when the user explicitly asks to change the skill itself.
  • The input component .md is a READ-ONLY source of truth. Never edit, append to, or "add a section" to it. The only artifact this skill produces is the Figma annotation. When the user asks to "create/add a section," "show," or "include" something, render it in the Figma annotation, never as an edit to the .md.
  • Never call AskQuestion, request confirmation, or pause for input (including before Figma writes, the expected output). On ambiguity, pick the most defensible option and continue.
  • Only two legal stops: (a) Step 0 fail-fast when no .md resolves; (b) one-line abort if the Figma MCP connection is dead.

MCP Adapter

Read uspecs.config.jsonmcpProvider. Follow the matching column for every MCP call in this skill.

Operation figma-console figma-mcp
Verify connection figma_get_status Skip — implicit. If first use_figma call fails, guide user to check MCP setup.
Navigate to file figma_navigate with URL Extract fileKey from URL (figma.com/design/:fileKey/...). No navigate needed.
Take screenshot figma_take_screenshot get_screenshot with fileKey + nodeId
Execute Plugin JS figma_execute with code use_figma with fileKey, code, description. JS code is identical — no wrapper changes.
Search components figma_search_components search_design_system with query + fileKey + includeComponents: true
Get file/component data figma_get_file_data / figma_get_component get_metadata or get_design_context with fileKey + nodeId
Get variables (file-wide) figma_get_variables use_figma script: return await figma.variables.getLocalVariableCollectionsAsync();
Get token values figma_get_token_values use_figma script reading variable values per mode/collection
Get styles figma_get_styles search_design_system with includeStyles: true, or use_figma: return figma.getLocalPaintStyles();
Get selection figma_get_selection use_figma script: return figma.currentPage.selection.map(n => ({id: n.id, name: n.name, type: n.type}));

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.

create-api is a skill published in the GitHub repository redongreen/uSpec (239 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 10,418 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
