Anima Common Errors

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Encountering Figma token errors
• Code generation failures
• Node not found issues
• Output quality problems

Example prompts

• “anima error”
• “anima not working”
• “anima debug”
• “/anima-common-errors”

Requirements

• Node.js
• A credential in FIGMA_TOKEN
• A credential in FIGMA_FILE_KEY
• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires Node.js 20+, approved Anima API access, current Anima SDK documentation, and authorized Figma or website source access
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(curl:*), Grep

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Classify the failure as authentication, file/node resolution, generator
2. 2Reproduce it with the smallest approved frame/component and the diagnostic
3. 3Correct the matching design input, entitlement, or generation configuration
4. 4Validate the generated file location, lint/build result, and visual review

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80f86df. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Read
  • Write
  • Edit
  • Bash(curl:*)
  • Grep

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • curl
  • jq
  • node

  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.com

  Also links to:

  • docs.animaapp.com
  • 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_TOKEN
  • FIGMA_FILE_KEY

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

• Compatibility

  Requires Node.js 20+, approved Anima API access, current Anima SDK documentation, and authorized Figma or website source access

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Anima Common Errors loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 612 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~71

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

~1.6k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~1.8k

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

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.
