figma — guides

The Figma REST primitive. Point it at a file URL and read what's there: the document tree, specific nodes, file metadata, version history, and comments. Render any frame to PNG, SVG, JPG, or PDF. Turn a FigJam connector graph into a Mermaid flowchart. It reads design — it never modifies it, because the REST API can't.

The token never reaches the model. figma is a credentialed skill: it invokes a CLI that resolves your Personal Access Token in-process and makes the call itself.

New here? Read the figma skill reference for the full surface, then inspect a Figma file when you have a URL in hand.

How-to

Task-oriented recipes for a problem you already have.

  • Inspect a Figma file — fetch a file, scope to nodes, read metadata and comments, render frames, and turn FigJam into Mermaid.

Reference

Information-oriented, dry and complete.

  • The figma skill — every subcommand, its inputs and outputs, the exit-code bands, and the credential it needs.

The two-layer credential model — why the skill never holds your token — lives with the credential-brokers pack: Credentialed skills. Installing and upgrading the catalogue live in ../_shared/.
