## What it does

The skill maps three-tier DTCG tokens to Figma Variable collections and maps themes to Figma Modes. It has you choose one sync direction: publish from code to Figma, or extract from Figma into code. The other side is generated, not edited by hand.

Before proceeding, it checks for the `tokens` directory and reads `workflows/figma-integration.md`. When a Figma MCP server is connected, the skill uses its tools to inspect designs and variables, create components, or wire up Code Connect. It checks component variants and states, then runs `scripts/validate_tokens.py` after a token import. Without the token-kit files, it stops and points to `npx ux-ui-agent-skills init` or the plugin installation.

## Requirements
- Works with: Figma

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills --skill figma-integration -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills --skill figma-integration -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills --skill figma-integration -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills figma-integration
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills --skill figma-integration -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills --path .claude/skills/figma-integration
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills --skill figma-integration -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/plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills/tree/HEAD/.claude/skills/figma-integration/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Map DTCG tokens to Figma Variables
- Choose a single direction for code–Figma sync
- Bring Figma designs or variables into code
- Find missing component variants and states
- Validate tokens after importing them

## Example prompts
- Set up sync between this project's tokens and Figma Variables.
- Extract the Figma variables and design into the codebase.
- Check whether Figma components cover the project's variants and states.

Map the 3-tier DTCG tokens to Figma Variables (collections + modes), sync in either direction, use the Figma MCP when connected, and verify component parity (variants/states). Use when the user wants to push tokens/components to Figma, pull a design into code, set up token↔Variable sync, or check design-code drift.

# Skill: Figma Integration

> **Step 0: is the kit here?** This skill reads files from the kit. Check once:
> `ls ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo KIT_OK || echo KIT_MISSING`
> On `KIT_MISSING` only the skill folders were installed, which is what

Bridge design (Figma) and code (this repo) in both directions. The token JSON stays the source of truth; Figma Variables mirror it.

## Steps
1. Read `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../workflows/figma-integration.md` (token↔Variable mapping, sync directions, MCP usage, parity).
2. Map the 3-tier hierarchy → three Figma collections (Primitives → Semantic → Component) with aliasing; dark/brand/density → Figma **Modes** (`${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens/theming.json`).
3. Choose ONE authoritative sync direction (code→Figma publish, or Figma→code extract via Tokens Studio / Variables REST API). The other side is generated. Never hand-edit both.
4. **If a Figma MCP server is connected:** prefer its tools/skills (load its mandatory prerequisite skill first). Use it to read frames/variables/screenshots into code, build Variables/components from our tokens, or wire Code Connect to `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../components/*`.
5. Check component parity: Figma variants/properties must cover our variants + sizes + the 8 states; flag gaps.

## Verification (definition of done)
- Every Figma Variable resolves to a token in `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens/*.json` (no orphan hex in designs).
- One authoritative direction; the generated side has zero hand edits.
- Variant sets cover all 8 states; Code Connect points to the right `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../components/*` file.
- After any token import: `python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../scripts/validate_tokens.py` passes.
