The mcp-figma-desktop skill provides 6 tools organized into categories:
Always verify before starting:
curl http://localhost:28888/healthcurl http://localhost:28888/servers | grep figma-desktop
# Should show: "status": "connected"
Goal: Convert Figma component to production code
Steps:
https://figma.com/design/ABC123/MyApp?node-id=42-15642-156 → 42:156 (replace dash with colon)node scripts/get_design_context.js \
--nodeId "42:156" \
--clientLanguages "typescript" \
--clientFrameworks "react"
node scripts/get_variable_defs.js --nodeId "42:156"
node scripts/get_screenshot.js --nodeId "42:156"
Output: React/TypeScript code, design tokens, component screenshot
Goal: Extract all design system variables
Steps:
0:1)node scripts/get_metadata.js --nodeId "0:1"
node scripts/get_variable_defs.js --nodeId "0:1"
node scripts/create_design_system_rules.js \
--clientLanguages "css,javascript" \
--clientFrameworks "unknown"
Output: Complete design token hierarchy, naming conventions, CSS mappings
Goal: Fastest workflow using Figma's current selection
Steps:
node scripts/get_design_context.js
node scripts/get_variable_defs.js
node scripts/get_screenshot.js
Note: All tools work with currently selected node when no --nodeId provided
Extracting from URLs:
?node-id=1-2 → use 1:2?node-id=5-10 → use 5:10Finding node IDs:
get_metadata on page to list all node IDs--nodeId parameterAlways specify target languages and frameworks for better code generation:
# React + TypeScript
--clientLanguages "typescript" --clientFrameworks "react"
# Vue + JavaScript
--clientLanguages "javascript" --clientFrameworks "vue"
# Plain HTML/CSS
--clientLanguages "html,css,javascript" --clientFrameworks "unknown"
# Multiple targets
--clientLanguages "typescript,javascript" --clientFrameworks "react,nextjs"

Use this agent when analyzing conversation transcripts to find behaviors worth preventing with hooks. Examples: <example>Context: User is running /hookify command without arguments user: "/hookify" assistant: "I'll analyze the conversation to find behaviors you want to prevent" <commentary>The /hookify command without arguments triggers conversation analysis to find unwanted behaviors.</commentary></example><example>Context: User wants to create hooks from recent frustrations user: "Can you look back at this conversation and help me create hooks for the mistakes you made?" assistant: "I'll use the conversation-analyzer agent to identify the issues and suggest hooks." <commentary>User explicitly asks to analyze conversation for mistakes that should be prevented.</commentary></example>
