Figma — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the figma-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows:

   npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install figma --cli-only

2. Verify: figma-pp-cli --version
3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer). This installs into $GOPATH/bin (default $HOME/go/bin), so add that directory to $PATH instead:

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/productivity/figma/cmd/figma-pp-cli@latest

If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

This CLI is the offline-first, agent-native Figma operator. It absorbs every REST endpoint as one Cobra command, ports GLips's compaction pipeline so frame extracts fit in an LLM context window, and adds the analytical primitives no other tool unifies: cross-file comments audit, stale-component orphans finder, semantic tokens diff between file versions, deterministic file fingerprint for CI, and webhook delivery replay.

When to Use This CLI

Use figma-pp-cli when an agent or engineer needs to reason about a Figma file as data — not pixels. It shines for codegen prompt context (frame extract, dev-mode dump), design-system ops (orphans, tokens diff, fingerprint), comment hygiene (comments audit), and webhook iteration (webhooks test). For interactive design work, the Figma desktop app is fine — figma-pp-cli covers everything Figma's REST API exposes and adds the cross-file analytical commands the dashboard hides.

Unique Capabilities

These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.

Agent-native plumbing

• frame extract — Extract a single frame as a compact codegen-ready payload that fuses simplified node tree, in-scope variables, dev resources, and Code Connect mappings.

  First call when an AI agent needs Figma frame context for code generation — returns a compact payload that fits in the context window instead of the raw 10MB file response.

  figma-pp-cli frame extract abc123 --ids 1234-5678 --depth 4 --include variables,dev-resources --json

• dev-mode dump — Emit a portable Markdown bundle that fuses dev-resource links, variables in scope, render permalink, and Code Connect mapping for one node.

  Use when an agent or engineer needs the full Dev Mode context for one frame as a single Markdown blob — no Desktop pairing required.

  figma-pp-cli dev-mode dump abc123 --node 1234-5678 --format md

• webhooks test — Pull Figma's webhook request log and replay stored payloads (with original headers and HMAC) against an arbitrary target URL.

  Use when iterating on a new webhook handler — replay yesterday's failed deliveries against your local server without re-triggering upstream events.

  figma-pp-cli webhooks test wh_abc --replay-failed --target-url https://localhost:3000/figma

Local state that compounds

• comments-audit — Aggregate unresolved comments across every synced team file with age and group-by filters.

  Run this on Monday morning before design review — surfaces every stale unresolved thread across the team.

  figma-pp-cli comments-audit --older-than 14d --group-by file,author --json

• orphans — Find published library entities (components, styles, variables) with zero usage over a window by joining team-library publish list with library-analytics usage data.

  First command for the quarterly design-system cleanup — returns the list of entities safe to deprecate.

  figma-pp-cli orphans 12345 --kind component,style,variable --window 30d --json

• tokens diff — Diff Figma variables across two file versions with mode-awareness; emits a Markdown or JSON change set.

  Run before merging a design-tokens PR to see what actually changed in Figma since the last release.

  figma-pp-cli tokens diff abc123 --from v1.0.0 --to HEAD --format md

• fingerprint — Stable hash of a Figma file's token + component + style surface; exits non-zero if --expect doesn't match.

  Wire this into CI to fail builds when the upstream Figma file's design-system surface drifts from the committed snapshot.

  figma-pp-cli fingerprint abc123 --expect sha256:a1b2c3...

• variables explain — Flat list of every node and component that references a given variable across a file.

  First call when planning a variable rename or deprecation — shows the blast radius before you touch anything.

  figma-pp-cli variables explain abc123 --variable color/brand/primary --json

Finding the right command

When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:

figma-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"

which resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code 0 means at least one match; exit code 2 means no confident match — fall back to --help or use a narrower query.
