description: Keep Figma and code in sync. Map the 3-tier DTCG tokens to Figma Variables (collections + modes), sync in either direction, use the Figma MCP when connected, and verify component parity (variants/states). Use when the user wants to push tokens/components to Figma, pull a design into code, set up token↔Variable sync, or check design-code drift.

# Skill: Figma Integration

## Requirements

This skill needs the full UX/UI Agent Skills kit: the gates, the references and
the design-system library. Install it with `npx ux-ui-agent-skills@3.1.0 init`
or as the Claude Code plugin. `npx skills@1.7.6 add` copies the skill folder and
nothing else. Installed that way, this skill runs in **guidance-only mode**: no gate
runs, so it gives no verdict.

> **Step 0: is the kit here?** Check once:
> `ls ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo KIT_OK || echo KIT_MISSING`
> On `KIT_MISSING`, open your reply with: "Guidance-only mode: the UX/UI Agent
> Skills kit is not installed here, so no gate ran and nothing below is
> measured." Then work from this file and general practice, under three rules.
> Do not guess or cite the contents of a kit file you could not open. State no
> measured number (no contrast ratio, no N/N, no "passes WCAG"): write "not
> verified" where one would go. End with a line `Skipped (kit not installed):`
> that names every gate script this file tells you to run, then the install
> command above.

Bridge design (Figma) and code (this repo) in both directions. The token JSON stays the source of truth; Figma Variables mirror it.

## Steps
1. Read `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../workflows/figma-integration.md` (token↔Variable mapping, sync directions, MCP usage, parity).
2. Map the 3-tier hierarchy → three Figma collections (Primitives → Semantic → Component) with aliasing; dark/brand/density → Figma **Modes** (`${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens/theming.json`).
3. Choose ONE authoritative sync direction (code→Figma publish, or Figma→code extract via Tokens Studio / Variables REST API). The other side is generated. Never hand-edit both.
4. **If a Figma MCP server is connected:** prefer its tools/skills (load its mandatory prerequisite skill first). Use it to read frames/variables/screenshots into code, build Variables/components from our tokens, or wire Code Connect to `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../components/*`.
5. Check component parity: Figma variants/properties must cover our variants + sizes + the 8 states; flag gaps.

## Verification (definition of done)
- Every Figma Variable resolves to a token in `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens/*.json` (no orphan hex in designs).
- One authoritative direction; the generated side has zero hand edits.
- Variant sets cover all 8 states; Code Connect points to the right `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../components/*` file.
- After any token import: `python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../scripts/validate_tokens.py` passes.
