Figma Desktop

Figma Token

Generate your token at https://www.figma.com/settings → Personal Access Tokens

The scripts look for the token in this order:

1. CLI argument (passed directly to script)
2. FIGMA_TOKEN environment variable
3. FIGMA_KEY environment variable
4. Claude user settings (~/.claude/settings.json)

Recommended: Claude Settings (persists across sessions)

Add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "env": {
    "FIGMA_KEY": "your-figma-token"
  }
}

Alternative: Environment Variable

# Windows (PowerShell)
$env:FIGMA_TOKEN="your-token"

# Windows (CMD)
set FIGMA_TOKEN=your-token

# Mac/Linux
export FIGMA_TOKEN="your-token"

Output Files

Scripts create temporary files in project root:

• temp-frames-list.json - Frame list
• temp-metadata-*.json - Node metadata
• temp-design-tokens-*.json - Design tokens
• temp-annotations-*.json - Annotations data
• temp-code-connect-*.json - Component mappings
• temp-figjam-*.json - FigJam content
• temp-comparison-report.json - Frame comparison
• screenshot-*.png - Screenshots

Clean up with:

rm temp-*.json screenshot-*.png

Integration

This skill integrates with IRIS documentation:

• Frame mapping: docs/figma/frame-node-mapping.json
• Screenshots: docs/figma/screenshots/
• Design tokens: docs/figma/design-system-mapping.json

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• Implementing UI components from Figma designs
• Extracting design tokens for the design system
• Updating frame mappings after Figma changes
• Generating screenshots for documentation
• Extracting FigJam brainstorming content
• Getting dev handoff notes and annotations
• Automating batch operations on Figma data
• Running in CI/CD pipelines

Node ID Format

Node IDs can be in either format:

• Colon format: 2501:2715 (API format)
• Dash format: 2501-2715 (URL format)

Scripts automatically convert between formats as needed.
