A collection of open-source agent skills for the native Figma MCP server.
Each skill teaches an agent (Claude, Codex, Gemini, Copilot) to perform a focused design-systems task in
Figma — exporting and importing design tokens, analyzing component sets, linting for WCAG and design-system
compliance, auditing accessibility, building Slides and FigJam content, and more.
Every skill runs through the Figma MCP's use_figma tool (Plugin API execution) and requires no plan-gated
APIs — token reads use the Plugin API, so they work on any Figma plan.
These skills are a Figma-MCP-focused subset of southleft/figma-console-mcp-skills,
repackaged here with community-friendly names. The full collection (including REST-API-based version history,
changelog, blame, and comments skills) lives in that repository.
Requirements
An agent host with the Figma MCP server connected (e.g. Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Gemini).
The official figma-use skill, which teaches the use_figma Plugin API conventions. Every skill here
loads it first.
git clone https://github.com/southleft/skills-for-figma.git
cd skills-for-figma
cp -R skills/* ~/.claude/skills/
For other hosts, drop the folders from skills/ into that tool's skills directory (e.g. .codex/skills/,
.gemini/skills/). Once installed, an agent auto-selects a skill from your request, or you can invoke one
explicitly with /skill-name.
Skills
Tokens & variables
export-tokens-figma — Export Figma variables to DTCG, CSS custom properties, Tailwind, SCSS, TypeScript, JSON, Style Dictionary, or Tokens Studio, with multi-mode and alias resolution.
import-tokens-figma — Create and update Figma variables from DTCG token files, with multi-mode values, alias resolution, and non-destructive in-place matching.
setup-design-tokens-figma — Bootstrap a complete token system (a collection, its modes, and all variables with per-mode values) in one atomic operation.
manage-variables-figma — Create, update, rename, and delete variables, collections, and modes, including batch create/update.
library-variables-figma — Discover variables available from subscribed team libraries and import them into the current file by key.
Components
analyze-component-set-figma — Analyze a component set as a variant state machine, mapping variant properties to CSS pseudo-classes and reporting per-variant visual differences.
arrange-component-set-figma — Arrange a component set's variants into a labeled grid on the canvas.
component-properties-figma — Define a component's property API and instantiate the component with property values applied.
deep-component-figma — Walk a component to unlimited depth and return its full node tree with resolved token bindings, main-component references, and reactions.
generate-component-doc-figma — Generate Markdown documentation for a Figma component, covering anatomy, tokens, states, accessibility, and design-to-code parity.
design-system-inventory-figma — Extract a unified inventory of a file's variables, components, and styles with resolved visual specifications.
Quality & accessibility
lint-design-figma — Lint a node tree against WCAG 2.2 and design-system rules, flagging contrast failures, hardcoded colors and styles, and detached components.
audit-accessibility-figma — Produce a per-component accessibility scorecard covering interaction-state coverage, focus indicators, target size, and color-blind simulation.
scan-code-accessibility-figma — Run axe-core against HTML in a JSDOM environment and map violations back to the originating Figma design.
check-design-parity-figma — Compare a Figma design node against a code specification and report drift as scored discrepancies by severity.
Annotations, FigJam & Slides
annotations-figma — Read and write designer annotations and annotation categories on Figma nodes.
create-figjam-content — Author and read FigJam boards: stickies, connectors, shapes with text, sections, tables, and code blocks.
build-slides-figma — Author Figma Slides decks: create and reorder slides, add text and shapes, and set backgrounds, transitions, and view mode.
