MANDATORY prerequisite — you MUST invoke this skill BEFORE every use_figma tool call. NEVER call use_figma directly without loading this skill first. Skipping it causes common, hard-to-debug failures. Trigger whenever the user wants to perform a write action or a unique read action that requires JavaScript execution in the Figma file context — e.g. create/edit/delete nodes, set up variables or tokens, build…

figma-use is a mandatory prerequisite skill that an AI coding agent must load before every `use_figma` tool call, which executes JavaScript in Figma files via the Plugin API. It bundles critical rules (page context resets, using `return` as the only output channel, editor mode differences) plus reference docs covering API patterns, common gotchas, component and style patterns, and helper APIs like `node.query`, `node.set`, and `figma.createAutoLayout`.
Skipping it causes common, hard-to-debug failures when writing to or programmatically inspecting Figma files, so loading it first keeps `use_figma` scripts correct.
Use it to
- Create, edit, or delete nodes in a Figma file
- Set up variables, tokens, and bind them to properties
- Build components and variants
- Modify auto-layout, fills, and text styles
- Inspect file structure programmatically
