figma-roundtrip

Keeps a video motion-graphics kit and its editable Figma boards in sync - the creator designs and tweaks in Figma, Claude ports the changes into the Remotion components and brand tokens, and mirrors code changes back. Use when the creator says they changed the boards, wants a new graphic designed, or wants the kit visible in Figma.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by appariciojunior on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Figma Roundtrip AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/appariciojunior/video-editor-skills/tree/main/skills/figma-roundtrip
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/appariciojunior/video-editor-skills.git /tmp/video-editor-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/video-editor-skills/skills/figma-roundtrip .claude/skills/figma-roundtrip

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Figma Roundtrip in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Figma Roundtrip on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Figma Roundtrip is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Figma ↔ motion kit

Creators design better in Figma than in prompts. Keep every kit component mirrored as an editable board and let them edit there.

Set up once

A page in their brand file (e.g. "Claude - Editable") with a section per kit version ("Motion kit v1", "Vlog kit v1").
One board per component at the video's frame size, real copy, every layer named.
Colours and type bound to variables (a "Motion" collection: ink, paper, accent/highlighter, greys; font sizes and paddings as numbers) so a colour change is one edit.
Use the Figma MCP (load its figma-use skill before writing to the file). Record the file key and page in CLAUDE.md.

When they say "I changed the boards"

Read each changed board's layers: fonts, weights, sizes, line heights, paddings, positions, which variables they use, corner radius, strokes.
Port the differences into the components and brand.json (tokens first, component code only for layout).
Render preview stills of the same components and compare side by side with the boards.
List what changed ("title Light 120 → Regular 108, padding 64 → 80, label now uppercase mono").

When the kit changes in code

(e.g. a narrow-frame layout, a caption-safe band) update the matching boards so the two never drift, or tell the creator which boards are now out of date.

Learned taste (ask your creator, these are examples)

Light/regular at big sizes, never heavy bold; monospace light uppercase labels; 80 px padding; lots of space; one smooth move per element; no device mockups (they add little); prefer text overlays and personal notes.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Figma Roundtrip AI skill do?

Why use Figma Roundtrip on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Figma Roundtrip is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Figma Roundtrip in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/appariciojunior/video-editor-skills/tree/main/skills/figma-roundtrip. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Figma Roundtrip?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Figma Roundtrip?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Figma Roundtrip with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Figma Roundtrip AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by appariciojunior. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
