figma-check-design-parity

figma-check-design-parity is a skill for Claude Code from southleft/figma-console-mcp-skills. It costs 170 tokens per session (1,000 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A comparison skill that checks a Figma component's actual design specifications against the values rendered by code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare a Figma node with a code specification, receive a parity score and discrepancies, and get suggested fixes.
Why use it?
It exposes design-to-code drift, such as mismatched sizes, colors, spacing, or typography, before those differences reach users.

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-check-design-parity 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check-parity.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.

figma-check-design-parity — design vs code drift checker

Pull a Figma node's real specs and diff them against a codeSpec (what your implementation actually renders). Returns a weighted parity score, per-property discrepancies with severity, and suggested fixes. This is the inverse of code generation: get_design_context turns a design into code; this skill confirms the code didn't drift away from the design.

All design reads go through use_figma, so it works on any Figma plan.

Skill boundaries

  • use_figma rules — load the official figma-use skill first; it is the full Figma Plugin API reference. Essentials these scripts rely on: plain JS with top-level await + return (no IIFE, no figma.closePlugin(); console.log is not returned), inputs inlined as const at the top of each script, colors in 0–1 range, load fonts before any text op, await figma.getNodeByIdAsync(...), and atomic errors (a failed script applies nothing — read the error, fix, retry).
  • Generating code from a design → that's the native get_design_context; this skill validates, not generates.
  • CODE-side a11y to feed codeSpec.accessibility → use figma-scan-code-accessibility (--map-to-codespec emits exactly that object).
  • Design-side WCAG lint → use figma-lint-design.

Workflow

  1. Assemble the codeSpec. Gather the values your component renders into the codeSpec object (references/parity-scoring.md has the full shape). You only need to fill the sections you want compared — visual, spacing, typography, accessibility. Tip: figma-scan-code-accessibility --map-to-codespec builds codeSpec.accessibility automatically.
  2. Read the design specs. Set NODE_ID and paste your codeSpec into scripts/check-parity.js. Run it via use_figma (skillNames: "figma-check-design-parity"). It extracts the node's fills, strokes, corner radius, opacity, padding/gap, and text properties, then diffs them against the codeSpec.
  3. Read the scorecard. summary.parityScore is max(0, 100 − (critical×15 + major×8 + minor×3 + info×1)). discrepancies[] lists each mismatch with category, property, severity, designValue, codeValue, and a suggestion.
  4. Decide which side to fix. Each discrepancy says what design has vs what code has. Update code to match the design, or push the design to match an intentional code change (via figma-manage-variables / figma-use), then re-run to confirm the score rose.

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.
