Can I fetch specific nodes instead of the whole file?

Yes, this skill includes patterns for fetching specific nodes by ID, which is significantly faster than downloading the entire document tree for large files.

What kind of node data can I inspect with this skill?

You can inspect the entire document hierarchy, including CANVAS, FRAME, TEXT, VECTOR, and COMPONENT nodes, along with their associated metadata and IDs.

What do I need to use the Figma Hello World skill?

You need a Figma Personal Access Token (PAT), the figma-install-auth plugin configured, and a valid Figma file key from your design URL.

How do I find my Figma file key?

The file key is the unique alphanumeric string found in the URL of your Figma design file, located between 'design/' and the file name.

Design Tools

Automates the initial setup and connectivity testing for the Figma REST API to retrieve design file metadata and node structures.

This skill streamlines the process of integrating Claude with the Figma REST API by providing a standardized 'Hello World' workflow. It handles the initial authentication check, retrieves core file metadata like versioning and timestamps, and maps out the document's hierarchical node tree. It is an essential tool for developers starting new Figma-to-code pipelines, verifying API permissions, or debugging complex design document structures through the command line.
