What it does
Figma is an agent skill from hoodini/ai-agents-skills. Integrate with Figma API for design automation and code generation. Use when extracting design tokens, generating React/CSS code from Figma components, syncing design systems, building Figma plugins, or automating design-to-code workflows. Triggers on Figma API, design tokens, Figma plugin, design-to-code, Figma export, Figma component, Dev Mode.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Design to code, Design systems and Design tokens. It works with Figma and React. The repository describes itself as: 🧠 AI Agent Skills Repository - A curated collection of specialized skills for AI coding agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf). Created by Yuval Avidani using…
When your agent uses it
- Extracting design tokens
- Generating React/CSS code from Figma components
- Syncing design systems
- Building Figma plugins
Example prompts
- “/figma”
Requirements
- A credential in FIGMA_TOKEN
- A credential in FILE_KEY
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f7a43d8. 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 (its code samples are typescript and json).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
api.figma.comfigma.coms3.amazonaws.comgithub.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_TOKENFILE_KEYFIGMA_WEBHOOK_SECRET
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Figma loads about 4.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 117 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 117 words (~4,481 tokens).
“Extract design data, generate code from components, and automate design workflows with Figma's API.”
