figma-generate-design · nexu-io — Claude Code skill: what it does
Build or update Figma screens from app code or a written description, using design system components and tokens. Useful when an app page needs a Figma counterpart.
npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill figma-generate-design -a claude-codeWhat figma-generate-design does
The skill creates or updates Figma screens from code or a description. It uses design system components and translates app pages into designs with design tokens. You can ask an agent to turn an existing app screen into a Figma layout.
The catalogue entry helps an agent discover the skill during planning. For the full upstream workflow, including its original assets, scripts and references, install the upstream bundle in the active agent's skills directory. The catalogue entry alone is not the full workflow, so check that the bundle is installed.
What it helps with
- translate an app page from code into Figma
- create a Figma screen from a written description
- update a screen with design system components
- apply design tokens to an app page
Example prompts for the agent
- Use figma-generate-design to turn this app screen into a Figma design.
- Create a Figma screen from this description using the design system components.
- Update this app page in Figma and apply the design tokens.
