figma-create-new-file

figma-create-new-file is a catalogue entry within the Open Design skills collection that advertises a single, focused capability: creating a new blank Figma Design or FigJam file. It is positioned as the natural first step in scripted design-system or workshop workflows, where an agent needs a fresh canvas before generating components, boards, or brainstorming spaces. The problem it solves is discoverability rather than execution: it makes the agent aware, during planning, that a Figma-file-creation skill exists and can be invoked by name or via trigger phrases.

In its current form this is a thin catalogue stub rather than a full implementation. The SKILL.md documents what the skill does, lists trigger phrases ("figma new file", "figjam new", "create figma file"), and points to the upstream source at Figma's official skills repository. To run the actual workflow with its original assets, scripts, and references, users are directed to install the upstream bundle from github.com/figma/skills into their active agent's skills directory. The entry itself contains no scripts or API code.

The target users are designers, design-system engineers, and workshop facilitators who use AI agents to bootstrap Figma work. It is most useful as a planning-time signpost in larger automated design pipelines, letting an agent chain file creation into subsequent design-system or FigJam operations once the upstream bundle is installed.
