figma
Use the Figma MCP server to fetch design context, screenshots, variables, and assets from Figma, and to translate Figma nodes into production code. Use when a task involves Figma URLs, node IDs, design-to-code implementation, or Figma MCP setup and troubleshooting. Covers general Figma data fetching and exploration. Do NOT use when the goal is specifically pixel-perfect code implementation from a Figma design (use figma-implement-design instead).

Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/tech-leads-club/agent-skills --skill figma- 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 automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

Figma MCP
Use the Figma MCP server for Figma-driven implementation. For setup and debugging details (env vars, config, verification), see references/figma-mcp-config.md.
Figma MCP Integration Rules
These rules define how to translate Figma inputs into code for this project and must be followed for every Figma-driven change.
Required flow (do not skip)
- Run get_design_context first to fetch the structured representation for the exact node(s).
- If the response is too large or truncated, run get_metadata to get the high-level node map and then re-fetch only the required node(s) with get_design_context.
- Run get_screenshot for a visual reference of the node variant being implemented.
- Only after you have both get_design_context and get_screenshot, download any assets needed and start implementation.
- Translate the output (usually React + Tailwind) into this project's conventions, styles and framework. Reuse the project's color tokens, components, and typography wherever possible.
- Validate against Figma for 1:1 look and behavior before marking complete.
Implementation rules
- Treat the Figma MCP output (React + Tailwind) as a representation of design and behavior, not as final code style.
- Replace Tailwind utility classes with the project's preferred utilities/design-system tokens when applicable.
- Reuse existing components (e.g., buttons, inputs, typography, icon wrappers) instead of duplicating functionality.
- Use the project's color system, typography scale, and spacing tokens consistently.
- Respect existing routing, state management, and data-fetch patterns already adopted in the repo.
- Strive for 1:1 visual parity with the Figma design. When conflicts arise, prefer design-system tokens and adjust spacing or sizes minimally to match visuals.
- Validate the final UI against the Figma screenshot for both look and behavior.
Asset handling
- The Figma MCP Server provides an assets endpoint which can serve image and SVG assets.
- IMPORTANT: If the Figma MCP Server returns a localhost source for an image or an SVG, use that image or SVG source directly.
- IMPORTANT: DO NOT import/add new icon packages, all the assets should be in the Figma payload.
- IMPORTANT: do NOT use or create placeholders if a localhost source is provided.
Link-based prompting
- The server is link-based: copy the Figma frame/layer link and give that URL to the MCP client when asking for implementation help.
- The client cannot browse the URL but extracts the node ID from the link; always ensure the link points to the exact node/variant you want.

FAQ
What does the figma skill do?
Use the Figma MCP server to fetch design context, screenshots, variables, and assets from Figma, and to translate Figma nodes into production code. Use when a task involves Figma URLs, node IDs, design-to-code implementation, or Figma MCP setup and troubleshooting. Covers general Figma data fetching and exploration. Do NOT use when the goal is specifically pixel-perfect code implementation from a Figma design (use figma-implement-design instead).
How do I install figma?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/tech-leads-club/agent-skills --skill figma in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/figma/ (personal) or .claude/skills/figma/ (project).
Which AI agents can use figma?
Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.
Is figma safe to install?
No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.

tlc-spec-driven
tech-leads-club/agent-skills
Feature planning and implementation with 4 adaptive phases (Specify, Design, Tasks, Execute). Auto-sizes depth by complexity. Asks every product decision before the spec is approved, writes testable requirements in EARS notation, atomic tasks with a gate and a commit each, and one check per criterion with the test that proves it. Captures that come with the request bind, and each screen is judged against them. Ships deterministic Python scripts so the gates are enforced by code, not memory; the proofs run once at the end, and an independent Verifier (author != verifier) spends its time on mutations and judgement. Use when (1) planning features, (2) implementing with verification and atomic commits, (3) validating an implementation against a spec. Triggers on "specify feature", "discuss feature", "design", "tasks", "implement", "validate", "verify work", "UAT", "record decision", "pause work", "resume work". Do NOT use for pure architecture decomposition analysis or standalone technical
subagent-creator
tech-leads-club/agent-skills
Guide for creating AI subagents with isolated context for complex multi-step workflows. Use when users want to create a subagent, specialized agent, verifier, debugger, or orchestrator that requires isolated context and deep specialization. Works with any agent that supports subagent delegation. Triggers on "create subagent", "new agent", "specialized assistant", "create verifier". Do NOT use for Cursor-specific subagents (use cursor-subagent-creator instead).
technical-design-doc-creator
tech-leads-club/agent-skills
Creates comprehensive Technical Design Documents (TDD) with mandatory and optional sections through interactive discovery. Use when user asks to "write a design doc", "create a TDD", "technical spec", "architecture document", "RFC", "design proposal", or needs to document a technical decision before implementation. Do NOT use for README files, API docs, or general documentation (use docs-writer instead).
