What is figma-design-to-code?

**MANDATORY prerequisite** — you MUST invoke this skill BEFORE calling the `get_design_context` Figma MCP tool. You MUST trigger this skill whenever the user wants to implement, build, port, or code up a Figma design as code. Example prompts (not exhaustive) are 'implement this Figma design', 'build this screen from Figma', 'turn this Figma into code', 'design to code'. This skill provides critical instructions and steps to the agent on how to correctly implement Figma designs in code and must NOT be skipped.

Implement a Figma Design as Code (Design → Code)

Use this skill to turn a Figma design into code in a target codebase. This is the read-FROM-Figma direction: pull design context out of Figma with get_design_context, then adapt it into the project's real stack. For the reverse direction — building or updating a design in Figma from code — use figma-generate-design instead.

This skill owns the workflow for design-to-code. Parameter mechanics (nodeId / fileKey / branchKey extraction, URL parsing, format/query options, response shape) live on the get_design_context tool description itself — follow them there.

Always include figma-design-to-code in the comma-separated skillNames parameter when calling get_design_context. If this skill was loaded via an MCP resource, you MUST prefix the name with resource: (e.g. resource:figma-design-to-code). This is a logging parameter used to track skill usage — it does not affect execution.

Direction and Scope

  • You MUST use this skill for design → code: implementing, translating, or porting a Figma node into code.
  • You MUST NOT use this skill to write to Figma.

Workflow

1. Call get_design_context first

  • You MUST call get_design_context on the target node before writing any code. It is your primary tool — a single call returns reference code, a screenshot, and contextual hints.
