Anima Upgrade Migration

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Upgrading SDK versions
• Migrating from the Figma plugin workflow to SDK-based automation
• Adapting to new Anima API features
• With: anima upgrade

Example prompts

• “anima upgrade”
• “anima migration”
• “anima SDK update”
• “/anima-upgrade-migration”

Requirements

• Node.js
• A credential in ANIMA_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(npm:*), Grep

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Upgrade SDK
2. 2Migrate from Manual Plugin to SDK
3. 3API Changes Checklist

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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(npm:*)
  • Grep

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • npm

  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):

  • npmjs.com
  • github.com

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

• Credentials

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

  • ANIMA_TOKEN
  • FIGMA_FILE_KEY
  • FIGMA_TOKEN

  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 Upgrade Migration loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 486 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~76

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

~1.8k

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

~2k

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.

Analyze and execute @animaapp/anima-sdk upgrades with rollback evidence. Use when upgrading SDK versions, migrating from the Figma plugin workflow to SDK-based automation, or adapting to new Anima API features. Trigger with: "anima upgrade", "anima migration", "anima SDK update".

# Check current version

// BEFORE: Manual Figma plugin workflow
// 1. Open Figma → Plugins → Anima
// 2. Select component → Export → React
// 3. Copy-paste generated code into project
// 4. Manually repeat for each component change

// AFTER: Automated SDK workflow
import { Anima } from '@animaapp/anima-sdk';
import fs from 'node:fs';
import path from 'node:path';

const anima = new Anima({ auth: { token: process.env.ANIMA_TOKEN! } });

}

// Common API changes between versions:
// - New settings options (e.g., uiLibrary: 'shadcn' added later)
// - Supported framework, styling, and UI-library unions
// - Response record shape and binary-file handling
// - Authentication, Figma access, streaming, and error types

// Test after upgrade:
async function testUpgrade() {
  const anima = new Anima({ auth: { token: process.env.ANIMA_TOKEN! } });
