--- name: figma description: Use 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. --- # Figma MCP 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) 1. Run get_design_context first to fetch the structured representation for the exact node(s). 2. 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. 3. Run get_screenshot for a visual reference of the node variant being implemented. 4. Only after you have both get_design_context and get_screenshot, download any assets needed and start implementation. 5. 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. 6. 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. ## References - `references/figma-mcp-config.md` — setup, verification, troubleshooting, and link-based usage reminders. - `references/figma-tools-and-prompts.md` — tool catalog and prompt patterns for selecting frameworks/components and fetching metadata.
