Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/podo/design-agent-skills --skill figma-official-skills- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads figma-official-skills automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md

Heads-up
- Requires: Figma account; the Figma MCP server (https://mcp.figma.com/mcp), which the Claude Code plugin sets up and the skills CLI does not; a Dev or Full seat on a paid Figma plan for normal use (Starter plan, View and Collab seats are limited to 6 MCP tool calls per month)

Invoke after install
| Skill | Invoke with |
|---|---|
figma-use | "run Figma Plugin API", "Figma script" |
figma-design-to-code | "implement this Figma design", "Figma to code" |
figma-generate-design | "generate Figma design", "code to Figma" |
figma-generate-library | "build Figma library", "design system in Figma" |
figma-code-connect | "code connect", "link Figma to code" |
figma-create-new-file | "create Figma file", "new FigJam" |
figma-generate-diagram | "diagram in FigJam" |
figma-use-figjam, figma-use-slides, figma-use-motion | FigJam, Slides, and animation work through use_figma |
figma-implement-motion | "implement this motion", "animate from Figma" |
figma-swiftui | SwiftUI ↔ Figma in either direction |
Also installed: figma-code-workflows, figma-generative-plugins, figma-shaders, figma-spec.
What it does
Official Figma skill suite covering the complete design ↔ code bridge. Converts Figma designs to production code, generates or updates Figma screens from code changes, builds design system libraries, connects Figma components to code components via Code Connect, scripts the Figma Plugin API for custom automation, and extends to FigJam, Slides, motion, shaders, and SwiftUI. Each skill is a required prerequisite before calling its matching Figma MCP tool.
These skills drive the Figma MCP server, so it must be connected too and you need a Figma account. In Claude Code the official plugin sets up the MCP server and the skills together; with the skills CLI you get only the skills and add the server yourself (claude mcp add --transport http figma https://mcp.figma.com/mcp).
When NOT to use
- Design-token compliance on every Figma write against an existing design system — use
claude2figma - Token architecture outside Figma — use
design-tokens-skill - Static design-to-code without the Figma MCP server (the skills assume the server's tools)
