MANDATORY prerequisite — you MUST invoke this skill BEFORE every use_figma tool call. NEVER call use_figma directly without loading this skill first. Skipping it causes common, hard-to-debug failures. Trigger whenever the user wants to perform a write action or a unique read action that requires JavaScript execution in the Figma file context — e.g. create/edit/delete nodes, set up variables or tokens, build components and variants, modify auto-layout or fills, bind variables to properties, or inspect file structure programmatically.
$npx -y skills add figma/mcp-server-guide --skill figma-useInstalls into the current project.
Run `npx skills use "https://github.com/figma/mcp-server-guide" --skill "figma/mcp-server-guide/figma-use"` and follow the generated skill instructions now. Read its complete output, redirecting it to a temporary file first if necessary. Resolve relative paths from the supporting-files directory it provides.
Use the skills in "https://github.com/figma/mcp-server-guide" that are relevant to the current task. Run `npx skills add "https://github.com/figma/mcp-server-guide"` and select the relevant skills, then follow their instructions.
