figma-generate-design
Use this skill alongside figma-use when the task involves translating an application page, view, or multi-section layout into Figma. Triggers: 'write to Figma', 'create in Figma from code', 'push page to Figma', 'take this app/page and build it in Figma', 'create a screen', 'build a landing page in Figma', 'update the Figma screen to match code', 'convert this modal/dialog/drawer/panel to Figma'. This is the preferred workflow skill whenever the user wants to build or update a full page, modal, dialog, drawer, sidebar, panel, form, dashboard, list, table, card, header, message preview, or other composed product UI in Figma from code or a description—even when the user calls that composed UI a component. Discovers design system components, variables, and styles from Code Connect files, existing screens, and library search, then imports them and assembles views incrementally section-by-section using design system tokens instead of hardcoded values.

From README
Build / Update Screens and Views from Design System Hard deliverable gate: Code-to-design output must recreate the UI as editable text, components, icons, and hierarchy. Treat any screenshot or flattened rendering of the complete UI only as a visual reference: never upload or import it into the deliverable, including as the wrapper fill or a child node, even if it exists in the repository or appears more pixel-accurate. Before completion, inspect the result; if the UI is not primarily represented by editable layers, rebuild it semantically or report failure. Use this skill to create or update screens, views, and multi-section UI containers in Figma by reusing the published design system — components, variables, and styles — rather than drawing primitives with hardcoded values. This includes full pages, modals, dialogs, drawers, sidebars, panels, and any composed view with multiple sections.
