Figma Use
This is the foundation skill for the entire Figma workflow in Claude. It lets you run Plugin API scripts to write to the canvas, inspect designs, manage variables, and work with design systems. Without it, the other Figma skills in the catalogue won't work. It's curated from Figma's official MCP server guide, so you're getting the upstream workflow straight from the source. You'll need to pull down the actual implementation from their GitHub repo to get the scripts and assets. Use it whenever you need programmatic access to Figma files instead of clicking around the UI.
