figma-lint-design

figma-lint-design is a skill for Claude Code from southleft/figma-console-mcp-skills. It costs 220 tokens per session (1,136 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Figma design checker that reviews layers and components for accessibility rules from WCAG 2.2, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, and for design-system problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit a Figma frame or page for accessibility, layout, color, typography, component, and design-system issues.
Why use it?
It finds issues in the design before developers receive it, such as poor contrast, small touch targets, missing focus indicators, or inconsistent styles.

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-lint-design 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 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/lint-design.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-lint-design — WCAG 2.2 + design-system lint over a node tree

Walk a Figma node (or the whole current page) and report accessibility and design-quality problems in one pass. Runs entirely through use_figma, so it works on any Figma plan and inspects the real design (true colors, real auto-layout, actual variant names) rather than generated code.

Why this is unique: the native Figma MCP (get_design_context, get_metadata, etc.) reads designs for code generation but does not lint them. There is no built-in "is this accessible / token-clean?" check on the design side. This skill fills that gap with a faithful port of 14 WCAG 2.2 rules plus 6 design-system/layout rules.

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).
  • Per-component deep scorecard (state coverage, color-blind sim, 0–100 scores) → use figma-audit-accessibility.
  • CODE-side a11y (axe-core over generated HTML) → use figma-scan-code-accessibility.
  • Design-vs-code drift → use figma-check-design-parity.

Workflow

  1. Pick the scope. Get the target NODE_ID (a frame, component set, or screen) from the user's selection or a URL. Leave it null to lint the entire current page.
  2. Pick the rules. RULES defaults to ['all']. Narrow it to a group ('wcag', 'design-system', 'layout') or a specific rule id (e.g. 'wcag-contrast') to cut noise. The full catalog is in references/lint-rules.md.
  3. Run scripts/lint-design.js via use_figma (skillNames: "figma-lint-design"). Edit the const inputs at the top first.
  4. Triage by severity. The result groups findings by rule, each carrying severity (critical/warning/info) and wcagLevel (a/aa/aaa/best-practice/design-system). Lead with critical (contrast, target size, focus, color-only).
  5. Fix + re-lint. Apply fixes (via figma-manage-variables, figma-use, etc.) and re-run the same scope to confirm summary.total dropped. Each finding includes the offending node.id so you can jump straight to it.

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.
