How do I trigger the Figma Design Reader?

Claude will automatically detect Figma URLs (figma.com/design/...) in your messages, or you can manually use the /figma-read command followed by the link.

Does it support specific Figma nodes?

Yes, it parses node-id parameters from URLs to focus its analysis on specific frames, components, or layers within the design file.

Will reading a large Figma file use up my context window?

No. This skill uses a specialized sub-agent to fetch and process data in an isolated context, returning only a concise summary to your main conversation.

What information does the summary provide?

The summary includes hierarchical layout structures, identified form fields, navigation flows, and general design context optimized for developers.

About

The Figma Design Reader skill bridges the gap between design and development by allowing Claude to analyze and summarize Figma files directly. It automatically parses Figma URLs, identifies specific nodes, and utilizes an isolated sub-agent to extract hierarchical page structures, form field details, and data flows. This approach ensures that developers receive the precise UI context needed to build components, APIs, or data models while keeping the main conversation's context window clean and efficient.
