Our review

Interacts with Figma design files via the browser using the Figma Plugin API.

Requires user to log in and open the Figma file manually first.
The Plugin API is only accessible after a plugin has been opened at least once in the file.
Does not use the Figma REST API; relies on browser context.

When to use it

When you need to automate repetitive design tasks in Figma such as creating components or extracting design data.

When not to use it

If you need to interact with Figma outside the browser (e.g., via REST API) or if the user lacks permissions to run plugins.

Figma Design Skill

Interact with Figma design files via the web browser using the Figma Plugin API.

Use the chrome-devtools_navigate_page tool to go to Figma's website. Then, prompt the user to log in to their Figma account if they are not already logged in and open a specific design file.
Once the user has opened the design file, use chrome-devtools_evaluate_script to confirm that you have access to the figma global object, which indicates that you are within the Figma environment. If you do not have access, inform the user that they need to open a Figma design file or see the Troubleshooting section below.
After confirming access, execute the user's query using chrome-devtools_evaluate_script to run JavaScript code that interacts with the Figma Plugin API. You can perform tasks such as creating shapes, modifying properties, or extracting information from the design file.

Always explain in plain English what you are about to do. Assume that the user cannot read code.
Do not try alternative solutions like using the REST API or manually interacting with the Figma UI.

If figma is not defined:

Make sure that the user has appropriate permissions to edit the file and run plugins
If the user doesn't have permissions, suggest creating a new branch on the file
If the figma global is still not accessible, instruct the user to manually open any plugin and close it, then try again

Note: There is a known bug where the figma global is not available until a plugin has been opened at least once in the file.
