What it does

Figma Create Design System Rules is an agent skill from nexu-io/open-design. Generate project-specific design system rules for Figma-to-code workflows. Useful for capturing tokens, naming, and lint rules in one source.

Its SKILL.md is about 310 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 Frontend & Design, covering Design systems, Project scaffolding and Design to code. It works with Figma. The repository describes itself as: 🎨 Best DeepSeek Harness Design Plugin. The open-source Claude Design alternative. 🖥️ Local-first desktop app. 🖼️ Your coding agent becomes the design engine: prototypes… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Design systems
  • Tasks that involve Project scaffolding
  • Tasks that involve Design to code

Example prompts

  • “/figma-create-design-system-rules”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 17e2559. 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 (its code samples are bash).

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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 Create Design System Rules loads about 309 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 98 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~309

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.

How to use

This catalogue entry advertises the skill in OpenDesign so the agent discovers it during planning. To run the full upstream workflow with its original assets, scripts, and references, install the upstream bundle into your active agent's skills directory:

bash
# Inspect the upstream README for exact paths
open https://github.com/figma/skills

Then ask the agent to invoke this skill by name (figma-create-design-system-rules) or with one of the trigger phrases listed in this skill's frontmatter.
