SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Starting work in Figma often requires a fresh file before any design or whiteboard operations can run, and manually creating one interrupts automated workflows. This Skill creates a new blank Figma or FigJam file programmatically and returns the file key and URL needed for subsequent tool calls. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Blank File Creation: Calls the create_new_file MCP tool to create a design or FigJam file in the user's drafts folder. - Plan Resolution: Automatically resolves the required planKey via the whoami tool, prompting the user when multiple plans exist. - Argument Parsing: Accepts optional editorType and fileName arguments, defaulting to a design file named "Untitled". - Use Case: Before running use_figma to build a design, invoke this Skill to create a FigJam board named "Sprint Retro" and receive its file_key for the next step. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to create a new FigJam file named My Whiteboard using the figma-create-new-file skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new Figma file from an AI agent?▼

Invoke the figma-create-new-file skill, which calls the create_new_file MCP tool with a planKey, fileName, and editorType. The tool returns a file_key and file_url for the new file created in your drafts folder.

How to create a FigJam board instead of a design file?▼

Pass figjam as the editorType argument, for example /figma-create-new-file figjam My Whiteboard. Only design and figjam editor types are supported; design is the default when no argument is given.

What is a planKey and where do I get one in Figma?▼

A planKey identifies the team or organization plan where the file is created. If you do not have one, the skill calls the whoami tool, which returns a plans array; with multiple plans you choose which one to use.

Where does the new Figma file get created?▼

The file is created in the user's drafts folder for the selected plan. The response includes a file_url to open it directly in Figma and a file_key for subsequent tool calls like use_figma.

Can I use the created file with other Figma tools?▼

Yes, the returned file_key is intended for follow-up calls such as use_figma. The skill notes that you should load the figma-use skill before calling use_figma on the new file.
