figma-deep-component

figma-deep-component is a skill for Claude Code from southleft/figma-console-mcp-skills. It costs 158 tokens per session (1,177 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that extracts detailed information about one Figma design node, such as a component, instance, or component set, including its nested children. It records layout, styling, typography, variables, links to source components, interactions, and annotations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a component tree to a chosen depth, resolve design-token variables to names and code syntax, examine responsive layout settings, and understand component variants and prototype interactions.
Why use it?
It gives developers a detailed description of a design element for accurate implementation or analysis. This avoids relying only on a screenshot or a shallow node summary.

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-deep-component 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/deep-component.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-deep-component — unlimited-depth tree with resolved tokens

Walk one node (usually a COMPONENT / COMPONENT_SET / INSTANCE, but any node works) recursively to a depth you choose, capturing at every level: layout (auto-layout, padding, spacing, sizing), visual properties (fills, strokes, stroke weight, corner radius, effects, opacity), typography for text nodes, boundVariables resolved to token names + code syntax, INSTANCE main-component references (including whether the main is a variant and its set), prototype reactions, and dev-mode annotations. This is the richest single-component read for high-fidelity code generation.

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).
  • Whole-file inventory (all tokens/components/styles at once) → use figma-design-system-inventory.
  • Variant set as a CSS state machine (per-state diffs, pseudo-class mapping) → use figma-analyze-component-set.
  • This depth of tree + resolved tokens + reactions is not what the native MCP's get_design_context (rendered single-selection summary) or get_metadata (flat structure) return — it is a design-system code-gen capability layered on top.

Workflow

  1. Get the node id. From selection (figma_get_selection), search, or a pasted id.
  2. Choose a depth. Set const DEPTH (default 10). Deep design components rarely exceed ~6 levels; use a smaller number first to keep the payload manageable, then go deeper if needed.
  3. Run scripts/deep-component.js via use_figma (skillNames: "figma-deep-component"). Set const NODE_ID and const DEPTH at the top.
  4. Generate code. The returned tree mirrors the DOM you should build. Prefer boundVariables token names (and their codeSyntax) over raw hex; use mainComponent refs to reuse imported components; use reactions to wire up interaction/navigation.
  5. If the payload is too big, lower DEPTH (nodes past the limit are summarized with a childCount + _depthLimitReached marker) or target a smaller sub-node id.

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.
