SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the manual, error-prone work of extracting design tokens and components from Figma, then recreating and keeping them in sync with code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Design system extraction: Pull variables, components, styles, and full design trees from Figma files.
  • Bidirectional token synchronization: Export tokens to DTCG JSON/CSS, edit locally, then push changes back into Figma as a diff-aware merge.
  • Component creation and visual debugging: Create frames and nodes, instantiate components, and troubleshoot designs via screenshots and accessibility scans.

Quick Start

Connect your MCP client to Figma Console MCP by adding the figma-console server configured with FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN, then ask it to export your file’s tokens in dtcg-json for editing and re-import.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract design tokens from Figma to synchronize with code?

Extract design tokens from Figma by exporting variables and styles to DTCG JSON or CSS formats. This enables bidirectional token synchronization, allowing local edits to be pushed back into Figma as a diff-aware merge.

Can I automate component creation and visual debugging in Figma?

Automate component creation and visual debugging in Figma by generating frames, instantiating components, and running screenshot checks. This identifies layout inconsistencies and optional accessibility issues within your design system.

What's the best way to keep Figma variables aligned with code-ready formats?

Keep Figma variables aligned with code-ready formats using bidirectional token synchronization. Export to DTCG JSON, edit locally, then import changes back into Figma through a diff-aware merge process.

Do I need a Figma access token to extract design system components?

A valid FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN is required to extract design system components. The Skill requires an MCP bridge configured with this token to perform node inspection, token export, and visual debugging.

Does this approach support accessibility auditing for Figma components?

Accessibility auditing for Figma components is supported. After extracting variables and generating frames, run optional accessibility scans to identify compliance issues directly within your design system workflow.

Why are my Figma design tokens not syncing correctly with code?

Figma design tokens may not sync correctly with code if the MCP bridge lacks a valid FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN. Ensure the figma-console server is properly configured to execute diff-aware merges and node inspections.
