SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Teams struggle to keep code and documentation aligned with real design tokens captured in Figma, which leads to inconsistent UI and slow implementation cycles.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Token extraction from Figma: Reads local paint, text, spacing-related styles, radius, effects, grid styles, and component families from a Figma file to produce structured TypeUI-ready markdown.
  • Generates DESIGN.md and SKILL.md: Produces standardized documentation the AI coding workflow can follow to implement interfaces that match the Figma source.
  • Agent-ready output: Creates rules that enforce using extracted colors and typography without hardcoding or drifting from the design system.

Quick Start

Tell an AI agent to guide you through running the Figma plugin to extract tokens from your Figma file and generate DESIGN.md and SKILL.md for your design system implementation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract design tokens from Figma into markdown documentation?

To extract design tokens from Figma into markdown, this Skill reads local paint, text, spacing, radius, and effect styles, then formats them into standardized TypeUI-compatible DESIGN.md and SKILL.md files for AI-driven UI implementation.

Can I generate AI agent instructions directly from a Figma design system?

Yes, you can generate AI agent instructions from a Figma design system. This Skill converts variable collections and component families into SKILL.md files, creating rules that enforce using extracted colors and typography without hardcoding or drifting from the source.

What is the best way to keep my code documentation aligned with Figma variables?

The best way to keep code documentation aligned with Figma variables is using this Skill to export token collections into standardized markdown. It bridges the gap by producing structured TypeUI-ready documentation that AI coding workflows can directly follow.

Does this Figma token extraction method support exporting component families and grid styles?

Yes, this Figma token extraction method supports exporting component families and grid styles. It comprehensively reads local paint, text, spacing-related styles, radius, effects, grid styles, and component families to produce structured TypeUI-ready markdown output.

How do I use extracted Figma design tokens with AI coding agents?

To use extracted Figma design tokens with AI coding agents, tell the agent to run the Figma plugin to extract tokens and generate DESIGN.md and SKILL.md. These files provide agent-ready rules for correct token usage during interface implementation.

Why should I use markdown generated from Figma tokens for design system build-outs?

You should use markdown generated from Figma tokens for design system build-outs because it produces standardized documentation that prevents hardcoded values. This ensures AI-driven UI implementation remains consistent with the real Figma source tokens.
