openaiUse the Figma MCP server to fetch design context, screenshots, variables, and assets from Figma, and to translate Figma nodes into production code. Trigger when a task involves Figma URLs, node IDs, design-to-code implementation, or Figma MCP setup and troubleshooting.

Install with your agent
Paste this prompt into your agent. It reads this page and does the setup for you.
Read https://aiagentslisting.com/skill/figma-skill-codex to learn what the "Figma Skill (Codex)" skill does and how to install it. Install it for my coding agent as documented on that page, then confirm the skill is available and summarize what it can do.Agents can also browse this directory over MCP at https://aiagentslisting.com/api/mcp
Install manually
Claude Code
- Run the install command below in your terminal.
- The skill files land in your ~/.claude/skills directory, laid out as shown.
- Restart Claude Code or start a new session. Skills are discovered on startup.
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/openai/skills.git /tmp/figma-skill-codex
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/figma-skill-codex/skills/.curated/figma ~/.claude/skills/figma-skill-codex
rm -rf /tmp/figma-skill-codex~/.claude/skills/figma-skill-codex

Use the Figma MCP server for Figma-driven implementation. For setup and debugging details (env vars, config, verification), see references/figma-mcp-config.md.
Figma MCP Integration Rules
These rules define how to translate Figma inputs into code for this project and must be followed for every Figma-driven change.
Required flow (do not skip)
- Run get_design_context first to fetch the structured representation for the exact node(s).
- If the response is too large or truncated, run get_metadata to get the high-level node map and then re-fetch only the required node(s) with get_design_context.
- Run get_screenshot for a visual reference of the node variant being implemented.
- Only after you have both get_design_context and get_screenshot, download any assets needed and start implementation.
- Translate the output (usually React + Tailwind) into this project's conventions, styles and framework. Reuse the project's color tokens, components, and typography wherever possible.
- Validate against Figma for 1:1 look and behavior before marking complete.
Implementation rules
- Treat the Figma MCP output (React + Tailwind) as a representation of design and behavior, not as final code style.
- Replace Tailwind utility classes with the project's preferred utilities/design-system tokens when applicable.
- Reuse existing components (e.g., buttons, inputs, typography, icon wrappers) instead of duplicating functionality.
- Use the project's color system, typography scale, and spacing tokens consistently.
- Respect existing routing, state management, and data-fetch patterns already adopted in the repo.
- Strive for 1:1 visual parity with the Figma design. When conflicts arise, prefer design-system tokens and adjust spacing or sizes minimally to match visuals.
- Validate the final UI against the Figma screenshot for both look and behavior.
Asset handling
- The Figma MCP Server provides an assets endpoint which can serve image and SVG assets.
- IMPORTANT: If the Figma MCP Server returns a localhost source for an image or an SVG, use that image or SVG source directly.
- IMPORTANT: DO NOT import/add new icon packages, all the assets should be in the Figma payload.
- IMPORTANT: do NOT use or create placeholders if a localhost source is provided.
Link-based prompting
- The server is link-based: copy the Figma frame/layer link and give that URL to the MCP client when asking for implementation help.
- The client cannot browse the URL but extracts the node ID from the link; always ensure the link points to the exact node/variant you want.
