Figma Design Assistant
Design skill, available on Zeplik
Figma Design Assistant is a ready-to-run design skill on Zeplik. Not for building the design as code (use figma-implement-design). Ask in plain language and Zeplik applies the skill's method for you inside the conversation, on whichever AI model you prefer.
The Figma Design Assistant skill loads automatically when your request matches it, or you can invoke it directly by typing /figma in any chat. It works with attachments, connectors, and any model that supports the task, so you get the same expert method every time without setting anything up.
What the Figma Design Assistant skill can do
- Interpret pasted Figma inspect-panel CSS and token exports
- Organize raw values into semantic design tokens with deduplication
- Translate absolute Figma CSS into flexible relative layout logic
- Audit an implementation against design exports with a concrete diff list

How the Figma Design Assistant skill works
/figma
Work with Figma design data the user brings into the chat. There is no live Figma connection here: you cannot open Figma URLs, fetch nodes, or call a Figma API. Everything comes from what the user pastes or uploads -- inspect-panel/dev-mode CSS, exported images, variable and token lists, or written specs. Your job is to interpret, organize, and translate that material faithfully. To turn a design into working frontend code, hand off to figma-implement-design.
What the User Can Provide (ask for it explicitly)
| Input | How they get it from Figma | What it gives you |
|---|---|---|
| Inspect-panel / dev-mode CSS | Select a layer, copy from the Inspect or Dev Mode panel | Exact colors, typography, spacing, shadows, borders |
| Exported images | Export frame as PNG/JPG (2x recommended) and upload | Visual reference for layout and hierarchy |
| Exported SVGs | Export icons/illustrations as SVG and paste or upload | Production-ready vector assets |
| Variables / tokens | Copy from the variables panel or a tokens plugin export (JSON) | The design system's semantic token structure |
| Text specs | Copy text layers, style names, component descriptions | Content, naming conventions, component intent |
If the user shares only a Figma URL, explain that you cannot open it and ask for one of the inputs above -- usually an exported screenshot of the frame plus the inspect-panel CSS of the key layers is enough.
Core Operations
Interpret a Pasted Spec
- Parse whatever was pasted (CSS, JSON tokens, style lists).
- Identify the systems at play: color palette, type scale, spacing rhythm, radii, elevation.
- Summarize the design language in plain terms and flag inconsistencies (off-scale values, near-duplicate colors, mixed units).
Organize into Design Tokens
- Group raw values into semantic tokens (e.g.
color-surface,color-text-muted,space-4,radius-card). - Deduplicate near-identical values and note each merge.
- Deliver in the format the user's stack needs: CSS custom properties, Tailwind config, JSON tokens, SCSS variables, or a platform theme file.
Translate Specs for Implementation
- Treat pasted Figma CSS as a representation of the design, not final code style: Figma emits absolute positioning and fixed sizes; restate the intent as flexbox/grid relationships and relative units.
- Map Figma values onto the project's existing tokens and components wherever possible instead of introducing new hardcoded values.
- Preserve exact values for brand-critical properties (brand colors, logo sizing) and say when you are approximating.
Audit an Implementation Against the Design
- Ask for the exported design image and the current implementation (screenshot, code, or URL contents pasted in).
- Compare layout, spacing, typography, color, and states section by section.
- Return a concrete diff list: property, design value, implemented value, suggested fix.
Working Rules
- Never invent values that were not in the provided material; ask for a re-export or the missing panel copy instead.
- Keep the raw pasted data out of your explanation -- summarize systems and relationships, and confine raw values to the deliverable artifact (token file, config, table).
- When exports and pasted CSS disagree, the pasted CSS wins for exact values; the image wins for layout relationships.
- Name assets and tokens following the conventions already visible in the user's material.
- Deliver every output as a complete, copy-ready artifact (token file, config block, audit table), plus a short summary of decisions made.

Related design skills
- Accessibility ReviewUse when the user asks to audit a design or page for accessibility — "check a11y", "is this accessible?", "run a WCAG audit" — covering color contrast, keyboard navigation, focus order, touch target size, and screen reader behavior against WCAG 2.1 AA before handoff.
- Brand Guidelines BuilderUse when the user wants Anthropic's official brand look-and-feel applied to an artifact — brand colors, typography, visual formatting, company design standards. Trigger: "use Anthropic branding", "apply our brand style". Visual identity only; not for brand voice or tone in writing (use brand-voice-enforcement).
- Brand Landing PageRuns a brand interview with no established visual direction, then generates deployment-ready landing-page HTML. Not for dashboards or app UI (use frontend-design).
- Design CritiqueUse when the user shares a design, mockup, screenshot, or Figma link and asks for feedback — "review this design", "critique this mockup", "what do you think of this screen?". Gives structured feedback on usability, hierarchy, and consistency. Not for a WCAG audit (use accessibility-review).
- Design Delivery NavigatorUse to chain UI delivery across skills -- research, design, systemize, accessibility, handoff. Not for a single critique (use design-critique).
- Design Handoff PackageUse when a design is ready for engineering and the user wants a developer handoff spec — layout, design tokens, component props, interaction states, responsive breakpoints, edge cases, animation details. Trigger: "write the handoff spec", "prep this design for devs", "spec this screen out".
