Use the figma-use-slides skill to inspect the current slide deck and generate speaker notes for all slides.

Frequently Asked Questions about figma-use-slides

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate slide creation in Figma using the Plugin API?▼

Automating slide creation in Figma requires applying strict coordinate and node-parenting constraints to avoid layout errors. This skill provides the operational rules needed to execute plugin commands, organize decks, and structure nodes correctly within the Slides environment.

Why does my Figma slide layout break when I generate decks programmatically?▼

Figma slide layouts break because the Slides environment enforces coordinate and node hierarchy rules that differ from standard Figma Design files. This skill provides the specific API context needed to manage slide positioning, sections, and grid structures without causing misalignment.

How do I extract speaker notes from a Figma presentation?▼

Extracting speaker notes from a Figma presentation uses specialized inspection scripts to read slide content and validate layout integrity. This skill enables programmatic extraction of notes and text without relying on unsupported metadata tools.

Can I use standard Figma Design file API commands for Figma Slides?▼

Standard Figma Design file API commands cannot be used directly for Figma Slides because slide positioning and section management constraints differ significantly. This skill provides the specialized context required to adapt plugin commands for the Slides environment.

What is the best way to ensure consistent grid structures in Figma slides?▼

Ensuring consistent grid structures in Figma slides involves applying strict coordinate constraints and validating layout integrity through programmatic inspection. This skill offers operational instructions and design principles for spatial composition, color strategy, and typography to maintain deck consistency.
