figma-use

figma-use is a catalogue entry within the Open Design skill collection that advertises a Figma automation capability so an agent can discover it during planning. Its stated purpose is to run Figma Plugin API scripts for canvas writes, inspections, variables, and design-system work, positioning itself as a prerequisite for every other Figma skill in the same catalogue. The problem it addresses is discoverability: it surfaces the upstream Figma tooling to the agent rather than shipping the full workflow itself.

In practice this entry is a thin pointer. The SKILL.md contains frontmatter with trigger phrases ("figma use", "figma plugin api", "figma canvas", "figma scripts") and a short description, but the actual assets, scripts, and references live in the upstream repository at github.com/figma/skills. To use the real workflow, the documentation instructs the user to inspect the upstream README and install the upstream bundle into their active agent's skills directory, then invoke the skill by name or trigger phrase.

The target users are designers and design engineers working with Figma who want an AI agent to script canvas edits, run inspections, manage variables, or perform design-system operations through the Figma Plugin API. It is best suited to teams already using Open Design who want their agent to route Figma-related requests to the upstream Figma skills, rather than as a standalone, self-contained implementation.
