The skill helps build a page, modal, sidebar, or another multi-section view in Figma. It looks for components, variables, and styles in Code Connect files, existing screens, and libraries, then assembles the view section by section with design system tokens instead of hardcoded values.
Load figma-use before calling use_figma. You also need a connected Figma MCP server, a target file with a published design system or team library access, and its fileKey. For web app sources that contain images, the instructions require running generate_figma_design in parallel so the images can be brought into Figma.
Install it when you need to build a composed Figma view from code or a description. This skill is not for creating new reusable components or variants.
