Figma

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.
