Does Figma have an official Node.js SDK?

No, Figma currently requires direct REST API calls. This skill provides the necessary patterns and typed abstractions to build a robust, custom client.

How does this skill handle Figma API rate limits?

It includes a specialized FigmaRateLimitError class and a retry wrapper function that automatically respects the 'Retry-After' header provided by Figma.

Can I use this for extracting design tokens?

Yes, the included node tree walker and visitor pattern are specifically designed to traverse complex Figma documents to find and extract design tokens like colors and typography.

What authentication is required for these patterns?

These patterns are built to work with Figma Personal Access Tokens (PAT) passed via headers, ensuring secure and direct access to your Figma resources.

Is this skill compatible with Figma Plugins?

While the focus is on the REST API for external tools, the type definitions and architectural patterns are highly relevant and applicable to the Figma Plugin API.

Implements production-grade TypeScript patterns for interacting with the Figma REST API and Plugin API without official SDKs.

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for building robust Figma integrations, compensating for the lack of an official Node.js SDK. It includes a custom typed REST client, sophisticated error handling for rate limits and authentication, recursive node tree walkers for design token extraction, and a singleton pattern with exponential backoff retry logic. It is ideal for developers building internal design tools, automated design-to-code pipelines, or custom Figma plugins that require reliable data fetching and type-safe node traversal.
