What it does

Figma Extract is an agent skill from nexu-io/open-design. Pull a Figma file's node tree, design tokens, and embedded assets into the project cwd as a structured snapshot.

Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `open-design.json`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Design tokens. 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 tokens

Example prompts

  • “/figma-extract”

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.

    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 Extract loads about 606 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 237 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~606

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 extract

Spec §10 / §21.3.1: the figma-migration scenario starts with a Figma file URL + an OAuth token. This atom turns that pair into the authoritative on-disk record subsequent stages (token-map, generate, critique) operate on.

Inputs

SourceRequiredNotes
Figma file URL or node-idyesProvide via the figma-oauth GenUI surface or od plugin apply --input fileUrl=…
Figma OAuth tokenyesRouted through oauth-prompt with oauth.route='connector' and connectorId='figma'; the daemon never stores the token in SQLite

Output

The atom writes a deterministic, JSON-shaped extract under the project cwd:

text
project-cwd/
├── figma/
│   ├── tree.json        # canonical node tree (id / type / parent / children / box / fills / text)
│   ├── tokens.json      # color + typography + spacing tokens lifted off the file
│   ├── assets/          # rasterised exports of every leaf node that the file marks for export
│   │   └── <node-id>.<png|svg|webp>
│   └── meta.json        # { fileUrl, version, lastModified, exportedAt, atomDigest }

figma/tree.json is the canonical pivot for every downstream atom. figma/tokens.json is the input to token-map. assets/ is the input to generate's media stage.

Convergence

The atom completes when figma/tree.json exists and is non-empty. The until evaluator reads figma.tree.nodes >= 1; if the figma file is empty or the OAuth token expired, the atom emits a clear error event and the run aborts (the user fixes auth or picks a different file).

Anti-patterns the prompt fragment forbids

  • Synthesising a tree from screenshots when the OAuth path failed — always re-prompt the user; never make up node ids.
  • Dropping unsupported node types silently; record them in meta.json.unsupportedNodes[] so the human can audit gaps.
  • Treating component instances as duplicates; record componentRef links so token-map can de-duplicate at the right boundary.

Status

Implemented by the daemon runner in apps/daemon/src/plugins/atoms/figma-extract.ts. It fetches and walks the Figma REST tree, records unsupported nodes, lifts tokens, and rasterizes supported assets.
