figma-generate-library
Build or update a professional-grade design system in Figma from a codebase. Use when the user wants to create variables/tokens, build component libraries, create individual components with proper variant sets and variable bindings, set up theming (light/dark modes), document foundations, or reconcile gaps between code and Figma. Also use when the user asks to create or generate any component in Figma — even a single one — since components require proper variable foundations, variant states, and design token bindings to be production-quality. This skill teaches WHAT to build and in WHAT ORDER — it complements the `figma-use` skill which teaches HOW to call the Plugin API. Both skills should be loaded together.
Install

Design System Builder — Figma MCP Skill Build professional-grade design-system assets in Figma that match code. Scale the workflow to the requested deliverable: a token set, one component, a complete library, or a targeted reconciliation. Run the selected path in coherent, safely retryable construction phases with evidence-based validation. Prerequisites: The figma-use skill MUST also be loaded for every usefigma call. It provides Plugin API syntax rules (return pattern, page reset, ID return, font loading, color range). This skill provides design system domain knowledge and workflow orchestration. Always include figma-generate-library in the comma-separated skillNames parameter when calling usefigma as part of this skill. If this skill was loaded via an MCP resource, you MUST prefix the name with resource: (e.g. resource:figma-generate-library). This is a logging parameter — it does not affect execution.
