What it does

Figma is an agent skill from JetBrains/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use the Figma MCP server to fetch design context, screenshots, variables, and assets from Figma, and to translate Figma nodes into production code. Trigger when a task involves Figma URLs, node IDs, design-to-code implementation, or Figma MCP setup and troubleshooting.

Its SKILL.md is about 830 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/figma-mcp-config.md` and `references/figma-tools-and-prompts.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Design to code. It works with Figma and Tailwind CSS. The repository describes itself as: Curated agent skills collection verified by JetBrains. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • A task involves Figma URLs
  • Design-to-code implementation
  • Figma MCP setup and troubleshooting

Example prompts

  • “/figma”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run get_design_context first to fetch the structured representation for the exact node(s).
  2. If the response is too large or truncated, run get_metadata to get the high-level node map and then re-fetch only the required node(s)…
  3. Run get_screenshot for a visual reference of the node variant being implemented.
  4. Only after you have both get_design_context and get_screenshot, download any assets needed and start implementation.
  5. Translate the output (usually React + Tailwind) into this project's conventions, styles and framework. Reuse the project's color tokens…
  6. Validate against Figma for 1:1 look and behavior before marking complete.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e0f258b. 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.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

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

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Figma loads about 833 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 401 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~833
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.1k

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

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.

Figma MCP

Use the Figma MCP server for Figma-driven implementation. For setup and debugging details (env vars, config, verification), see references/figma-mcp-config.md.

Figma MCP Integration Rules

These rules define how to translate Figma inputs into code for this project and must be followed for every Figma-driven change.

Required flow (do not skip)
  1. Run get_design_context first to fetch the structured representation for the exact node(s).
  2. If the response is too large or truncated, run get_metadata to get the high-level node map and then re-fetch only the required node(s) with get_design_context.
  3. Run get_screenshot for a visual reference of the node variant being implemented.
  4. Only after you have both get_design_context and get_screenshot, download any assets needed and start implementation.
  5. Translate the output (usually React + Tailwind) into this project's conventions, styles and framework. Reuse the project's color tokens, components, and typography wherever possible.
  6. Validate against Figma for 1:1 look and behavior before marking complete.
Implementation rules
  • Treat the Figma MCP output (React + Tailwind) as a representation of design and behavior, not as final code style.
  • Replace Tailwind utility classes with the project's preferred utilities/design-system tokens when applicable.
  • Reuse existing components (e.g., buttons, inputs, typography, icon wrappers) instead of duplicating functionality.
  • Use the project's color system, typography scale, and spacing tokens consistently.
  • Respect existing routing, state management, and data-fetch patterns already adopted in the repo.
  • Strive for 1:1 visual parity with the Figma design. When conflicts arise, prefer design-system tokens and adjust spacing or sizes minimally to match visuals.
  • Validate the final UI against the Figma screenshot for both look and behavior.

Asset handling
  • The Figma MCP Server provides an assets endpoint which can serve image and SVG assets.
  • IMPORTANT: If the Figma MCP Server returns a localhost source for an image or an SVG, use that image or SVG source directly.
  • IMPORTANT: DO NOT import/add new icon packages, all the assets should be in the Figma payload.
  • IMPORTANT: do NOT use or create placeholders if a localhost source is provided.
  • The server is link-based: copy the Figma frame/layer link and give that URL to the MCP client when asking for implementation help.
  • The client cannot browse the URL but extracts the node ID from the link; always ensure the link points to the exact node/variant you want.

When should I use Figma?

Figma fits situations like: A task involves Figma URLs; design-to-code implementation; figma MCP setup and troubleshooting.

How do I install Figma in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add JetBrains/skills --skill figma -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (figma in JetBrains/skills) into .claude/skills/figma in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Figma in Codex?

Run `npx skills add JetBrains/skills --skill figma -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (figma in JetBrains/skills) into .agents/skills/figma in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Figma in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add JetBrains/skills --skill figma -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, .gemini/skills/figma, .github/skills/figma and .opencode/skills/figma in your project.

What does Figma need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Figma is instructions for the agent only.

Does Figma access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Figma safe to install?

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.

What licence does Figma use?

Figma is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (from the LICENSE file in the skill folder). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Figma use?

About 833 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.3k 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 1.3k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Figma?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Figma: Design To Code (MigoXLab/coderio, 114 stars), Figma Codegen (awdr74100/figwright, 995 stars), Figma (epam/ai-dial-chat, 504 stars) and React Screenshot Recreator (buildfastwithai/gen-ai-experiments, 785 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
