What figma-generate-library does

This skill builds or updates a design system library in Figma using the project codebase. The entry in OpenDesign exposes the skill to the AI agent during task planning. It originates from the Figma MCP server guide.

Running the complete workflow with original assets, scripts, and references requires installing the upstream bundle from https://github.com/figma/skills. Without that repository, the agent only holds catalogue metadata. It will lack the actual automation scripts.

You can trigger the workflow by referencing figma-generate-library directly or asking the agent to sync Figma with code.

What it helps with

  • generate a Figma design system library from codebase components
  • keep Figma library components in sync with shipped code
  • update existing Figma design assets after UI code changes
  • let the agent discover design system workflows during planning

Example prompts for the agent

  • Run figma-generate-library to sync design system components from the codebase
  • Update our figma library with the latest changes from the UI components
  • Build a design system library in Figma from this codebase

What does figma-generate-library do?

It instructs the agent to create or update design system libraries in Figma directly from source code. This keeps Figma files aligned with shipped components.

What is required to run the full workflow?

Install the upstream bundle from https://github.com/figma/skills into your agent skills directory. That repository contains the scripts, assets, and references needed for execution.

# figma-generate-library

> Curated from Figma's MCP server guide.

## What it does

Build or update a professional-grade design system library in Figma from a codebase. Useful for keeping the Figma source of truth in sync with shipped components.

## Source

- Upstream: https://github.com/figma/skills
- Category: `figma`

## How to use

This catalogue entry advertises the skill in OpenDesign so the agent
discovers it during planning. To run the full upstream workflow with
its original assets, scripts, and references, install the upstream
bundle into your active agent's skills directory:

```bash
# Inspect the upstream README for exact paths
open https://github.com/figma/skills
```

Then ask the agent to invoke this skill by name (`figma-generate-library`) or with
one of the trigger phrases listed in this skill's frontmatter.
