Figma Explore

What it does

When your agent uses it

• You need to list components in a Figma file
• Find component node IDs for Code Connect
• Understand the structure of a design file

Example prompts

• “/figma-explore”

Requirements

• Node.js
• A credential in FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

1. 1Verify Environment
2. 2Run Extraction
3. 3Use Results
4. 4Generate Code Connect

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit df229b1. 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

  Ships script files (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • node

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • figma.com

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Figma Explore loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 339 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~64

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.1k

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

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:19

  1. **FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN**: Set in `.env` or environment

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:71

  source .env 2>/dev/null

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:77

  2. Add to `.env`: `FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN=figd_...`

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:83

  source .env && node <path-to-skills>/figma-explore/figma-extract-all.js "<figmaUrl>" --list-only

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:88

  source .env && node <path-to-skills>/figma-explore/figma-extract-all.js "<figmaUrl>"

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.

description

Explore a Figma file to discover all pages, components, and component sets using the Figma REST API. Use when you need to list components in a Figma file, find component node IDs for Code Connect, or understand the structure of a design file.

node <path-to-skills>/figma-explore/figma-extract-all.js <figmaFileUrl> [options]

node <path-to-skills>/figma-explore/figma-extract-all.js <url> --list-only

node <path-to-skills>/figma-explore/figma-extract-all.js <url>

# Check if token is set
source .env 2>/dev/null
[ -n "$FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN" ] && echo "Token: set" || echo "Token: missing"
