Is it safe to commit Figma tokens to Git?

No, you should always store Figma tokens in a .env file and ensure that file is included in your .gitignore to prevent sensitive credentials from being leaked.

How long do Figma Personal Access Tokens last?

Figma Personal Access Tokens (PATs) can be configured with various expiration dates, typically lasting for a maximum of 90 days.

What scopes are needed to read Figma design tokens?

To read variables and design tokens, you should use the 'file_variables:read' scope, while 'file_content:read' is used for general layer inspection.

How do I verify my Figma API connection?

The skill provides specific curl commands and TypeScript snippets to test your credentials against the Figma /v1/me endpoint to ensure your token is valid.

What authentication methods does this Figma skill support?

It supports both Personal Access Tokens (PATs) for internal scripts and server-side tools, and OAuth 2.0 for applications that act on behalf of other Figma users.

Design Tools

Configures Figma REST API authentication using Personal Access Tokens or OAuth 2.0 for secure design integrations.

This skill streamlines the initial setup and authentication process for the Figma REST API within Claude Code. It provides step-by-step guidance for generating Personal Access Tokens (PATs), configuring granular scopes for file access or dev resources, and implementing complete OAuth 2.0 authorization flows. By automating the boilerplate for environment variables and secure credential storage, it enables developers to quickly establish a verified connection to Figma's design data for automation, design system syncing, and custom tool building.
