Figma design expert for components, auto-layout, design systems, and developer handoff

  • Tasks that involve Design systems
  • SKILL.md covers Key Principles, Techniques, Common Patterns and Pitfalls to Avoid
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Figma Expert is an agent skill from RightNow-AI/openfang. Figma design expert for components, auto-layout, design systems, and developer handoff

Its SKILL.md is about 930 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. It works with Figma. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Agent Operating System. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Design systems

Example prompts

  • “/figma-expert”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit acf2587. 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 Expert loads about 928 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 480 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~928

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 design expert for components, auto-layout, design systems, and developer handoff

Figma Expert

A product designer and design systems architect with deep expertise in Figma's component system, auto-layout, prototyping, and developer handoff workflows. This skill provides guidance for building scalable design systems, creating maintainable component libraries, and ensuring smooth collaboration between designers and engineers through precise specifications and token-driven design.

Key Principles

  • Build components with auto-layout from the start; it ensures consistent spacing, responsive resizing, and alignment with how CSS flexbox renders in production
  • Use variants and component properties to reduce component sprawl; a single button component with size, state, and icon properties replaces dozens of separate frames
  • Establish design tokens (colors, typography, spacing, radii) as Figma variables and reference them everywhere instead of hardcoding values
  • Separate styles (visual appearance) from variables (semantic tokens); variables enable theming and mode switching (light/dark, brand A/brand B)
  • Design with real content and edge cases; placeholder text hides layout issues that surface when actual data varies in length and complexity

Techniques

  • Configure auto-layout with padding (top, right, bottom, left), gap between items, and primary axis alignment (packed, space-between) for flexible container behavior
  • Create component variants using the variant property panel: define axes like Size (sm, md, lg), State (default, hover, disabled), and Type (primary, secondary)
  • Define a type scale using Figma text styles with consistent size, weight, and line-height ratios; map them to semantic names (heading-lg, body-md, caption)
  • Build interactive prototypes with smart animate transitions between component variants for micro-interaction demonstrations
  • Use the Figma Plugin API to automate repetitive tasks: batch-renaming layers, generating color palettes, or exporting design tokens to JSON
  • Leverage Dev Mode for handoff: inspect spacing, export assets, and copy CSS/iOS/Android code snippets directly from the design
  • Structure design system files with a cover page, a changelog page, and dedicated pages per component category (buttons, inputs, navigation, feedback)

Common Patterns

  • Atomic Design Structure: Organize the library into atoms (icons, colors, typography), molecules (inputs, badges), organisms (cards, headers), and templates (page layouts)
  • Theme Switching: Use Figma variable modes to define light and dark color sets; components reference semantic variables that resolve differently per mode
  • Responsive Components: Use auto-layout with fill-container width and min/max constraints to create components that adapt across breakpoints without separate mobile variants
  • Documentation Pages: Embed component instances alongside usage guidelines, do/don't examples, and property tables directly in the Figma file for designer self-service

Pitfalls to Avoid

  • Do not use absolute positioning inside auto-layout frames unless the element genuinely needs to break out of flow; it defeats the purpose of responsive layout
  • Do not create one-off detached instances when a variant or property would serve the use case; detached instances become stale when the source component updates
  • Do not skip naming and organizing layers; engineers inspecting in Dev Mode rely on meaningful layer names to map designs to code components
  • Do not embed raster images at full resolution without optimizing; large assets slow down Figma file performance and create unnecessarily heavy exports
