Figma Create New File

Creates a blank Figma Design or FigJam file through Claude, which sounds trivial until you're building design system automation or trying to spin up workshop templates programmatically. This is curated from Figma's official MCP server, so it's the real integration rather than someone's screen scraping hack. The main use case is kicking off scripted workflows where you need a fresh file as step one, then presumably you'd chain other Figma skills to populate it. It's bare bones but that's the point: you get a clean slate to build on. If you're already automating Figma workflows or want to start, this is your entry point.
