use_figma — Figma Plugin API Skill for Slides

This skill contains Slides-specific context for the use_figma MCP tool. The figma-use skill provides foundational context for plugin API execution via MCP as well as the full Figma plugin API for more advanced use-cases that are not described here.

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

Choosing How to Build a Slides Deck

If your environment also provides a generate_deck tool, choose one approach per deck request — do not call both for the same deck.

When to use which

use_figma + this skill (default): Handles any Slides task — new decks, edits to existing decks, brand-matched designs, reference-file styling, iterative refinement, speaker notes, and full creative control over layout, color, and typography. Use this for most requests.

generate_deck: Generates a complete deck in a single call using prebuilt, curated templates. Useful for quick, straightforward decks where the user doesn't need custom design, brand matching, or reference-file styling. It cannot use custom templates, cannot reference other Figma files for design direction, and does not support iterative editing or follow-up modifications through the conversation.

When in doubt, default to use_figma + this skill — it covers everything generate_deck can do and more.
