figma-generate-design

figma-generate-design is a skill for Claude Code from thedesignproject/agent-skills. It costs 192 tokens per session (6,371 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building complete screens and multi-section interface views in Figma from an existing coded design system. Figma is a collaborative design application, and a design system is a shared set of components, colors, spacing, and text styles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update pages, dashboards, modals, dialogs, drawers, sidebars, panels, and other composed views in Figma using the project's published components and styles.
Why use it?
It keeps new Figma designs consistent with the project's existing interface rules instead of recreating components and visual values by hand.

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-generate-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 11d 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.

Build / Update Screens and Views from Design System

Use this skill to create or update screens, views, and multi-section UI containers in Figma by reusing the published design system — components, variables, and styles — rather than drawing primitives with hardcoded values. This includes full pages, modals, dialogs, drawers, sidebars, panels, and any composed view with multiple sections. The key insight: the Figma file likely has a published design system with components, color/spacing variables, and text/effect styles that correspond to the codebase's UI components and tokens. Find and use those instead of drawing boxes with hex colors.

MANDATORY: You MUST also load figma-use before any use_figma call. That skill contains critical rules (color ranges, font loading, etc.) that apply to every script you write.

Always pass skillNames: "figma-generate-design" when calling use_figma as part of this skill. This is a logging parameter — it does not affect execution.

Skill Boundaries

  • Use this skill when the deliverable is a composed Figma view (new or updated) — full-page screens, modals, dialogs, drawers, sidebars, panels, or any multi-section container — built from design system component instances.
  • If the user wants to create new reusable components or variants, use figma-use directly.
  • If the user wants to write Code Connect mappings, switch to figma-code-connect.

Prerequisites

  • Figma MCP server must be connected
  • The target Figma file must have a published design system with components (or access to a team library)
  • User should provide either:
    • A Figma file URL / file key to work in
    • Or context about which file to target (the agent can discover pages)
  • Source code or description of the screen/view to build/update

Parallel Workflow with generate_figma_design (Web Apps Only)

When building a screen from a web app that can be rendered in a browser, the best results come from running both approaches in parallel:
