What it does
Figma Plugin is an agent skill from bergside/design-md-figma. Use when building Figma plugins, creating design automation tools, implementing sandbox/UI communication, or working with the Figma Plugin API for node manipulation, styles, and components.
Its SKILL.md is about 630 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including reference files (for example `references/api-globals-and-nodes.md`, `references/api-rendering-and-advanced.md` and `references/colors-and-text.md`).
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Design tokens. It works with Figma and React. The repository describes itself as: Figma plugin that extracts local style guidelines and generates DESIGN.md and SKILL.md files for AI tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other AI tools. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Building Figma plugins
- Creating design automation tools
- Implementing sandbox/UI communication
- Working with the Figma Plugin API for node manipulation
Example prompts
- “/figma-plugin”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Set up project with manifest.json (name, id, main, ui)
- Create main thread code (code.ts) with plugin logic
- Create UI (ui.html) with interface elements
- Wire up postMessage communication between threads
- Test in Figma development mode
- Publish via Figma Community
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 746501e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Figma Plugin loads about 631 tokens when it runs, and up to ~18k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 197 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- figma-plugin
- description
- Use when building Figma plugins, creating design automation tools, implementing sandbox/UI communication, or working with the Figma Plugin API for node manipulation, styles, and components.
Figma Plugin Development
Build plugins that extend Figma's functionality using the Plugin API.
Architecture
Figma plugins run in two threads communicating via postMessage:
- Main thread (sandbox): Plugin API access, node manipulation,
figma.*calls - UI thread (iframe): HTML/CSS/JS interface, no Figma API access, npm packages allowed
Key Principles
- Main thread handles all Figma document operations
- UI thread handles user interface and external APIs
- Communication between threads via
figma.ui.postMessage()andonmessage - Plugins must be performant — avoid blocking the main thread
Quick Start Checklist
- Set up project with
manifest.json(name, id, main, ui) - Create main thread code (
code.ts) with plugin logic - Create UI (
ui.html) with interface elements - Wire up postMessage communication between threads
- Test in Figma development mode
- Publish via Figma Community
