What it does
Figma Generate Design is an agent skill from nexu-io/open-design. Build or update screens in Figma from code or description using design system components. Translate app pages into Figma using design tokens.
Its SKILL.md is about 300 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 tokens and Design systems. 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
Example prompts
- “/figma-generate-design”
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 Generate Design loads about 302 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 101 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
The full file from nexu-io/open-design at commit 17e2559, republished under its Apache-2.0 licence (© nexu-io). 101 words, ~302 tokens.

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:
# Inspect the upstream README for exact paths
open https://github.com/figma/skillsThen ask the agent to invoke this skill by name (figma-generate-design) or with
one of the trigger phrases listed in this skill's frontmatter.
