claude2figma

Skill set that enforces design system compliance when Claude writes to Figma through the Figma MCP server: components are instances of master components, and colors/fonts/spacing/radii bind to Figma variables and styles instead of raw values. Every canvas write is followed by a binding check. Needs a Figma file with a design system and the Figma MCP server.

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.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by podo on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Claude2figma 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/podo/design-agent-skills/tree/main/skills/claude2figma
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/podo/design-agent-skills.git /tmp/design-agent-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/design-agent-skills/skills/claude2figma .claude/skills/claude2figma

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Claude2figma 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 Claude2figma 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 Claude2figma 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.

Catalogue stub — full package: senlindesign/claude2figma

Decision tree

Is the full skill already installed? This package installs 4 skills (figma-preflight, component-rules, figma-style-binding, reference-interpreter); checking the first.
- Global: f=~/.agents/skills/figma-preflight/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
- Project: f=.agents/skills/figma-preflight/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
- installed → the skill is installed as figma-preflight, invoke it and proceed
- pointer → go to step 2

Detect scope, then install:

bash
[ -e ~/.agents/skills/claude2figma ] && echo "global" || echo "project"

Global:

bash
npx skills add senlindesign/claude2figma --skill figma-preflight component-rules figma-style-binding reference-interpreter -g -y

Project:

bash
npx skills add senlindesign/claude2figma --skill figma-preflight component-rules figma-style-binding reference-interpreter -y

Claude Code: send a command as a chat message starting with ! to run it without leaving the conversation.

Claude Code plugin route:


/plugin marketplace add senlindesign/claude2figma
/plugin install claude2figma@claude2figma

Heads-up

Requires: Figma MCP server connected and authenticated; a Figma file with a Design System (local, or linked through a Library)
License: MIT

Invoke after install

There is no skill called claude2figma; the package installs these skills, which work together:

Skill name: figma-preflight — say "let's start" with a Figma URL: runs the preflight check and loads the token map and component registry (start here)
Skill name: reference-interpreter — share a screenshot, URL or description and get a structured design brief before building
Skill name: component-rules — any UI construction task: library-first component lookup, Auto Layout, semantic naming
Skill name: figma-style-binding — any color, font or spacing operation: bind to variables and styles, then verify after the write
Trigger phrases: "claude2figma", "Figma token compliance", "Figma variables enforcement", "design system Figma"

What it does

An enforcement layer for building in Figma against an existing design system. A preflight step checks the MCP connection, file permissions, libraries, styles, variables and components, then every build follows one loop: search the design system, create instances of master components (not rebuilt or detached copies), bind all color, typography, spacing and radius values to variables and styles, and verify the bindings.

The skills CLI installs only the skills. The upstream README also asks you to copy its .claude/settings.json (Figma tool permissions and a reminder hook) and CLAUDE.md.template (where you paste your Figma file URL) into your project.

When NOT to use

Reading or auditing existing Figma designs — use figma-official-skills (Figma MCP)
Creating a design system from scratch, free-form design without a design system, or FigJam work
Code-to-design without a token-based design system
Token architecture outside Figma — use design-tokens-skill

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Claude2figma AI skill do?

Why use Claude2figma on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Claude2figma 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 Claude2figma in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/podo/design-agent-skills/tree/main/skills/claude2figma. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Claude2figma?

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 Claude2figma?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Claude2figma with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Claude2figma AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by podo 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.
