About this skill

Figma Design To Code Bridge

Use this skill after figma-context-reader when the goal is implementation. The output is not "code by screenshot"; it is a mapping from design intent, tokens, and components to the existing codebase.

Modes

  • handoff-plan: create a build/refactor plan from a Figma frame.
  • component-map: map Figma components/variants to existing code components.
  • code-connect: prepare or review Figma Code Connect work.
  • gap-report: identify where the design and code system diverge.
  • implementation-route: hand off to webapp-ui-skill or marketing-site-skill.

Workflow

  1. Get Figma context through figma-context-reader or a provided context brief.
  2. Inspect the local codebase before recommending component choices.
  3. If Code Connect is requested, invoke the installed figma:figma-code-connect skill before Code Connect-specific work.
  4. Map tokens, components, variants, states, and responsive constraints to local implementation primitives.
  5. Route dense product/app work to webapp-ui-skill; route public landing/product pages to marketing-site-skill.
  6. Require local visual verification after implementation. Figma match alone is not validation.

Output Shape

Use assets/design-to-code-handoff.md.

Decision Rules

  • Prefer existing project components and design tokens over generating one-off CSS.
  • Preserve UX intent when exact visual parity conflicts with accessibility, responsiveness, or codebase conventions.
  • Treat Figma-generated code or MCP-generated code as a draft until reviewed against local architecture.
  • If the Figma file lacks states, include loading, empty, error, disabled, focus, hover, and mobile states in the implementation plan.

Safety And Privacy

  • Treat non-public Figma files, screenshots, variables, component names, and source code as sensitive.
  • Do not send private code or Figma context to external tools without explicit approval and a data-transfer note.
  • Do not overwrite local components simply to match a Figma frame; propose a scoped implementation plan first.

Validation And Eval

  • Verify that the handoff includes both Figma-to-code component mapping and local validation steps.
  • For implemented work, require browser or screenshot evidence from the local app.
  • Use evals/evals.json to test app-frame routing, marketing-page routing, and Code Connect gap behavior.

Resources

  • Read $CODEX_SKILLS_DIR/senior-figma-orchestrator/references/figma-mcp-compatibility.md when current Figma tools matter.
