description: Keep Figma and code in sync — map the 3-tier DTCG tokens to Figma Variables (collections + modes), sync in either direction, use the Figma MCP when connected, and verify component parity (variants/states). Use when the user wants to push tokens/components to Figma, pull a design into code, set up token↔Variable sync, or check design-code drift.
Skill: Figma Integration
Step 0 — is the kit here? This skill reads files from the kit. Check once:
ls ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo KIT_OK || echo KIT_MISSING
On KIT_MISSING only the skill folders were installed, which is what
npx skills add does. Say so plainly, point the user at
npx ux-ui-agent-skills init or the plugin install, and stop. Do not guess the
contents of a file you could not open.
Bridge design (Figma) and code (this repo) in both directions. The token JSON stays the source of truth; Figma Variables mirror it.
Steps
- Read
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../workflows/figma-integration.md (token↔Variable mapping, sync directions, MCP usage, parity).
- Map the 3-tier hierarchy → three Figma collections (Primitives → Semantic → Component) with aliasing; dark/brand/density → Figma Modes (
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens/theming.json).
- Choose ONE authoritative sync direction (code→Figma publish, or Figma→code extract via Tokens Studio / Variables REST API). The other side is generated — never hand-edit both.
- If a Figma MCP server is connected: prefer its tools/skills (load its mandatory prerequisite skill first). Use it to read frames/variables/screenshots into code, build Variables/components from our tokens, or wire Code Connect to
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../components/*.
- Check component parity: Figma variants/properties must cover our variants + sizes + the 8 states; flag gaps.
Verification (definition of done)
- Every Figma Variable resolves to a token in
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens/*.json (no orphan hex in designs).
- One authoritative direction; the generated side has zero hand edits.
- Variant sets cover all 8 states; Code Connect points to the right
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../components/* file.
- After any token import:
python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../scripts/validate_tokens.py passes.
