The skill

Keep Figma and code in sync — 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 npx skills add does. Say so plainly, point the user at npx ux-ui-agent-skills init or the plugin install, and stop. Do not guess the contents of a file you could not open.

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.
