## What it does

The skill turns Figma frames or selections into frontend markup tailored to the repository framework, including React, Vue, Svelte, or Next.js with Tailwind or CSS. Instead of guessing layout details from screenshots, it reads structural design trees via `get_design_context`. Color variables and paint styles map directly to project tokens like `var(--color-primary-500)` through `token_map`.

Existing code takes priority. The `component_map` tool checks local files against Figma components. High and medium confidence matches are imported directly with bound variant props, preventing duplicate UI components. Brand new components are written only when no match exists in the repository.

If multiple Figma tabs are open, actions can slip to the wrong file when switching tabs. Running `list_files` and claiming the active target with `use_file({ fileName })` locks the session to the intended document.

## Requirements
- Works with: Figma

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add awdr74100/figwright --skill figma-codegen -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/figma-codegen/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/figma-codegen/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add awdr74100/figwright --skill figma-codegen -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/figma-codegen/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add awdr74100/figwright --skill figma-codegen -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/figma-codegen/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install awdr74100/figwright figma-codegen
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/figma-codegen/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add awdr74100/figwright --skill figma-codegen -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/awdr74100/figwright --path skills/figma-codegen
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/figma-codegen/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add awdr74100/figwright --skill figma-codegen -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/awdr74100/figwright/tree/HEAD/skills/figma-codegen/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- convert Figma frames or selections into framework-matched code
- bind Figma variables and styles to repository design tokens
- reuse existing codebase components instead of writing duplicates
- extract variant and boolean props into clean component definitions

## Example prompts
- Code this design using our existing UI library: <figma-url>
- Implement the selected modal frame and wire it to our Tailwind tokens
- Update the user card component to match the new variants in Figma

name: figma-codegen
description: Generate framework-aware code from a Figma design. Reads the project's stack profile and emits code matching the existing framework (React/Vue/Svelte/Next/etc.) and styling (Tailwind/CSS/CSS-in-JS), reusing existing components and design tokens instead of regenerating from scratch. Triggers whenever the user wants a Figma design turned into code — e.g. 'code this design', 'implement this frame', 'build this screen/component', 'turn this Figma into React/Vue', 'convert this design to code' — or whenever a Figma URL or the current Figma selection appears alongside a coding request. Works for full screens, single sections, or one component.

# figma-codegen

Turn a Figma selection into code that looks like the rest of the project: reuse the components and
tokens that already exist, only build what's genuinely missing. The grounded tools do the heavy
lifting so you are not guessing from a screenshot. This file is the router; deep detail lives in
[`references/`](./references) — load a reference when its step is in play.

## When to use

- The user pastes a Figma URL/selection and asks for code ("code this", "build this component").
- The user wants to extend an existing component to match a Figma frame.

## More than one Figma file open

Every tool result says so when it applies, so you do not have to check up front: with two or more
files connected and none claimed, results carry a `MORE THAN ONE FIGMA FILE IS OPEN` block naming
them. It matters because calls otherwise follow whichever file the user last touched, which changes
when they switch tabs — so a task can read one file and write to another and report success.

When you see it, claim the file before doing anything else: `list_files` names every connected file,
`use_file({ fileName })` claims one for this session (`use_file({ sessionId })` when two open files
share a name — Figma allows that, and `x (Copy)` is how it happens). Every later call then reaches
that file whatever is in front, including while its tab sits in the background. If the user has not
said which file, ask — do not guess from the names.

## Workflow

Run the grounded tools against the selection, then generate — **trust them over the rendered image.**

1. **`get_design_context`** (detail `full`, `dedupeComponents: true`) → the structural tree with
   tokens resolved to names (`Primary/500`, `spacing/4`), styles deduped into `globalVars`, and each
   instance's `mainComponent` / `componentProperties`. This is the layout + binding source of truth.
   Keep `dedupeComponents: true` and don't depth-limit a subtree you'll build from.
   → **How to read the tree, the per-node fidelity catalog (effects, per-side borders, stroke align,
   per-corner radius, blend, masks, gradients, image-fit, patterns, Figma Draw repeat groups /
