Gdd Figma Write

gdd-figma-write

Write design decisions from `.design/DESIGN-CONTEXT.md` back into the active Figma file by dispatching the `design-figma-writer` agent in one of three modes (annotate / tokenize / mappings). Use when the user has completed a design pipeline cycle and wants the decisions (layer comments, variable bindings, or Code Connect mappings) reflected in Figma. Operates proposal→confirm with `--dry-run` and `--confirm-shared` flags.

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 hegemonart on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Gdd Figma Write 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/hegemonart/get-design-done/tree/main/scripts/skill-templates/figma-write
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

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/hegemonart/get-design-done.git /tmp/get-design-done
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/get-design-done/scripts/skill-templates/figma-write .claude/skills/gdd-figma-write

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Gdd Figma Write 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 Gdd Figma Write 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 Gdd Figma Write 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.

gdd-figma-write

Dispatches the design-figma-writer agent to write design decisions back to the open Figma file. The shared probe pattern (ToolSearch → live call → STATE.md write) and connection handshake are documented at ../../reference/shared-preamble.md#connection-handshake-summary and ../../connections/figma.md.

Usage


/get-design-done figma-write <mode> [--dry-run] [--confirm-shared]

Modes:

annotate - add design decision comments to Figma layers
tokenize - bind hard-coded color/spacing/type values to Figma variables
mappings - write Code Connect component↔code file mappings

Flags:

--dry-run - emit the proposal without executing any Figma writes
--confirm-shared - authorize writes to shared team library components

Prerequisites

Remote Figma MCP registered (writes are remote-only). Preferred: claude plugin install figma@claude-plugins-official. Manual: claude mcp add --transport http figma https://mcp.figma.com/mcp.
.design/DESIGN-CONTEXT.md exists (run discover first)
.design/STATE.md <connections> shows figma: available (…, writes=true). If writes=false (desktop-only variant), writes are not supported - the agent will STOP with an instruction to install the remote MCP.

Required Reading

Read .design/STATE.md and .design/DESIGN-CONTEXT.md before dispatching the agent.

Dispatch


Task("design-figma-writer", """
mode: <annotate|tokenize|mappings>
dry_run: <true|false>
confirm_shared: <true|false>
required_reading:

  - .design/DESIGN-CONTEXT.md
""")

Pass mode from the first positional argument; dry_run from --dry-run; confirm_shared from --confirm-shared. Wait for the agent's completion marker before returning.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Gdd Figma Write AI skill do?

Why use Gdd Figma Write on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Gdd Figma Write 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 Gdd Figma Write in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/hegemonart/get-design-done/tree/main/scripts/skill-templates/figma-write. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Gdd Figma Write?

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 Gdd Figma Write?

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

Is the Gdd Figma Write AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by hegemonart under the MIT license. 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.
