SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Figma design reviews and handoff to development often require translating visual designs into structured UI layouts and development-ready specifications. This skill provides concise summaries and context from Figma links to accelerate engineering planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Extract UI layout summaries from Figma design pages to inform component structure and data flow.
  • Provide development-ready context by outlining page structure, form fields, and relationships to APIs.
  • Use Case: A developer receives a Figma URL and needs a quick breakdown of the layout to begin API modeling and component mapping.

Quick Start

Read a Figma design by providing a Figma URL to the agent or using the /figma-read command to trigger extraction and summarize the page structure.

Frequently Asked Questions about figma-read

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract UI layout summaries from Figma design links for development planning?

Figma design links are read by sharing the URL with the agent or triggering the /figma-read command, which extracts page structure, form fields, and data flow into a concise hierarchical summary under 500 words for development planning.

Can I generate API modeling context directly from a Figma design URL?

Yes, you can generate API modeling context by providing a Figma design URL. The skill delegates the link to the figma-reader subagent, which automatically detects the URL and outlines page structure and form field relationships for development-ready specifications.

What is the best way to translate Figma visual designs into structured component mappings?

Translating Figma visual designs into structured component mappings is best handled by extracting the UI layout summary. This allows developers to quickly map out component structure and data flow directly from the provided design link.

Does the figma-read skill require any specific dependencies or plugins to function?

The figma-read skill requires no specific dependencies or plugins to function. It operates by delegating the Figma URL to the figma-reader subagent via the Task tool to ensure automatic URL detection and summarization.

How long are the Figma design summaries generated for developer handoff?

Figma design summaries generated for developer handoff are concise and hierarchical, kept strictly under 500 words to ensure quick readability and actionable context for engineering planning and API modeling.
