figma-common-errorsDiagnose and fix common Figma REST API and Plugin API errors.
Figma Common Errors is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Diagnose and fix common Figma REST API and Plugin API errors. Use when encountering HTTP errors, plugin sandbox crashes, or unexpected API responses from Figma. Trigger with phrases like "figma error", "fix figma", "figma not working", "figma 403", "figma 429".
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/diagnose-specific-errors.md`, `references/examples.md` and `references/identify-the-error-category.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering REST APIs. It works with Figma. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80f86df. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGrepBash(curl:*)From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
curljqFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
api.figma.comfigma.comAlso links to:
developers.figma.comstatus.figma.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
FIGMA_FILE_KEYFILE_KEYFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Designed for Claude Code
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Figma Common Errors loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 420 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.
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.

Diagnose and fix common Figma REST API and Plugin API errors. Figma Common Errors is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Diagnose and fix common Figma REST API and Plugin API errors.
Figma Common Errors fits situations like: encountering HTTP errors; plugin sandbox crashes; unexpected API responses from Figma; with phrases like figma error.
Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace --skill figma-common-errors -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/.curated/figma-common-errors in jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace) into .claude/skills/figma-common-errors in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace --skill figma-common-errors -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/.curated/figma-common-errors in jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace) into .agents/skills/figma-common-errors in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace --skill figma-common-errors -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/figma-common-errors, .gemini/skills/figma-common-errors, .github/skills/figma-common-errors and .opencode/skills/figma-common-errors in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Figma Common Errors needs the command-line tools its instructions call (curl and jq) and credentials named FIGMA_FILE_KEY and FILE_KEY. Our summary lists: Node.js; A credential in FILE_KEY; A credential in FIGMA_FILE_KEY. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Grep, Bash(curl:*). Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code.
SKILL.md names 4 domains. In commands or code: api.figma.com and figma.com; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: developers.figma.com and status.figma.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Figma Common Errors is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1.4k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Figma Common Errors: Io Figma (gridaco/grida, 2.7k stars), Figma Explore (bitovi/ai-enablement-prompts, 121 stars), Figma Comment Fix Loop (hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins, 1.3k stars) and Figma To Static (LeoYeAI/openclaw-master-skills, 2.2k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
