What it does

Figma Design Brief is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Write a structured design brief for a Figma design task from a product requirement or feature request. Use when asked to write a design brief, create a design spec for Figma, turn a PRD into design requirements, or brief a designer on what to build in Figma. Produces a brief with goals, scope, user flows, components needed, constraints, and success criteria.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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 Product & Project Management, covering PRD writing and UX design. It works with Figma. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to write a design brief
  • Create a design spec for Figma
  • Turn a PRD into design requirements
  • Brief a designer on what to build in Figma

Example prompts

  • “/figma-design-brief”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Brief Header
  2. What We Are Designing and Why
  3. User Flows to Design
  4. Screens Required
  5. Components Needed
  6. Constraints and Requirements
  7. Open Questions

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 Design Brief loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 483 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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.

description
Write a structured design brief for a Figma design task from a product requirement or feature request. Use when asked to write a design brief, create a design spec for Figma, turn a PRD into design requirements, or brief a designer on what to build in Figma. Produces a brief with goals, scope, user flows, components needed, constraints, and success criteria.

Figma Design Brief Skill

Converts a product requirement or feature request into a structured design brief — everything a designer needs to open Figma and start building confidently.

Not quite this? Use figma-design-qa when the design already exists and you are checking it against the spec.

Required Inputs

  • Feature or requirement (paste PRD snippet, ticket, or describe the feature)
  • User goal (what is the user trying to accomplish?)
  • Platform (iOS / Android / Web / Responsive / All)
  • Existing components available (optional)
  • Timeline (when does design need to be ready?)

Programmatic Helper

Contrast ratios cannot be eyeballed. The AA line sits at 4.5:1, and #777777 on white is 4.478 (fails) while #767676 is 4.54 (passes) — no amount of looking at a screenshot separates those. Compute them:

bash
npx --yes notugly fix "#8ab4f8" "#ffffff"     # ratio, APCA, and the nearest passing colour
npx --yes notugly onepager <url> --out review.html   # every pairing, printable
npx --yes notugly vision                      # which colours merge for colour-blind viewers

notugly fix returns the ratio, the APCA lightness contrast, and the closest colour to the one already chosen that passes — same hue, same chroma. Paste those numbers into the tables below rather than estimating them.

Deterministic, zero dependencies, and no model call — so it costs nothing to run and gives the same answer every time.

If the brief specifies colours, state the measured ratio for each intended text/background pairing. A brief that specifies an unreachable pairing wastes a design cycle before anybody notices.

Output Structure

1. Brief Header

Feature, PM, Designer, Platform, Design due, Dev handoff dates.

2. What We Are Designing and Why
  • The goal: [One sentence — user problem being solved]
  • Context: [2-3 sentences. Why now? What triggers this?]
  • Success looks like: [Specific observable outcome]
3. User Flows to Design

Flow N: [Flow name]

  • Entry point: [Where user starts]
  • Steps: [Numbered key steps]
  • Exit point: [Where flow ends]
  • Edge cases: [empty state, error state, loading state]
4. Screens Required
ScreenNew / UpdateNotes
[Screen]New[Key requirement]

5. Components Needed
ComponentIn library?Action
[Component]Yes/No/Needs variantUse/Create/Extend
6. Constraints and Requirements
  • Must haves: [Non-negotiable constraints]
  • Must avoid: [Design patterns to not use]
  • Accessibility: [WCAG level, touch target sizes]
7. Open Questions
  • [Question — with owner]

Quality Checks

  • Goal is outcome-focused (not "design the feature")
  • All flows include edge cases
  • Components table identifies create vs reuse
  • Constraints include accessibility requirements
  • Open questions have owners

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not write a design brief that describes the solution — the brief must describe the problem and constraints, not the design answer
  • Do not skip the success criteria — designers need to know what "done" looks like before starting
  • Do not omit existing components to reuse — briefs that ignore the design system lead to inconsistent implementations
  • Do not leave open questions unresolved — escalate them before design work starts, not during it
  • Do not confuse requirements with design instructions — the brief defines what, not how

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Write a design brief for [feature]"
  • "Turn this PRD into a Figma design brief"
  • "Brief the designer on what to build for [requirement]"
  • "Create a design spec for [feature] for Figma"
  • "What does the designer need to know to design [feature]?"
