How to use

This catalogue entry advertises the skill in OpenDesign so the agent discovers it during planning. To run the full upstream workflow with its original assets, scripts, and references, install the upstream bundle into your active agent's skills directory:

# Inspect the upstream README for exact paths
open https://github.com/figma/skills

Then ask the agent to invoke this skill by name (figma-generate-library) or with one of the trigger phrases listed in this skill's frontmatter.

Get it through your agent

Call the Graph-of-Skills MCP server's retrieve_skill_bundle tool and it returns this skill's text inside your budget.

{
  "tool": "retrieve_skill_bundle",
  "arguments": {
    "query": "figma-generate-library"
  }
}

New to this? Set up Graph-of-Skills or get a free key. The text on this page comes from its authors: how skills are sourced and what we check. If none fits your task, your agent can write a skill for your own library. To keep a skill from your own library on a machine, see how to install one of your skills.

figma-generate-library
Build or update a professional-grade design system in Figma from a codebase. Use when the user wants to create variables/tokens, build component libraries, set up theming (light/dark modes), document foundations, or reconcile gaps between code and Figma. This skill teaches WHAT to build and in WHAT ORDER — it complements the `figma-use` skill which teaches HOW to call the Plugin API. Both skills should be loaded together.

figma-generate-library
Build or update a professional-grade design system in Figma from a codebase. Use when the user wants to create variables/tokens, build component libraries, create individual components with proper variant sets and variable bindings, set up theming (light/dark modes), document foundations, or reconcile gaps between code and Figma. Also use when the user asks to create or generate any component in Figma — even a single one — since components require proper variable foundations, variant states, and design token bindings to be production-quality. This skill teaches WHAT to build and in WHAT ORDER — it complements the `figma-use` skill which teaches HOW to call the Plugin API. Both skills should be loaded together.

figma-generate-design
Use this skill alongside figma-use when the task involves translating an application page, view, or multi-section layout into Figma. Triggers: 'write to Figma', 'create in Figma from code', 'push page to Figma', 'take this app/page and build it in Figma', 'create a screen', 'build a landing page in Figma', 'update the Figma screen to match code'. This is the preferred workflow skill whenever the user wants to build or update a full page, screen, or view in Figma from code or a description. Discovers design system components, variables, and styles via search_design_system, imports them, and assembles screens incrementally section-by-section using design system tokens instead of hardcoded values.

This is the preferred workflow skill whenever the user wants to build or update a full page, modal, dialog, drawer, sidebar, panel, form, dashboard, list, table, card, header, message preview, or other composed product UI in Figma from code or a description—even when the user calls that composed UI a component. Discovers design system components, variables, and styles from Code Connect files, existing screens, and library search, then imports them and assembles views incrementally section-by-section using design system tokens instead of hardcoded values.
