Implement Design

Overview

This skill provides a structured workflow for translating Figma designs into production-ready code with pixel-perfect accuracy. It ensures consistent integration with the Figma MCP server, proper use of design tokens, and 1:1 visual parity with designs.

Prerequisites

• Figma MCP server must be connected and accessible
  • Before proceeding, verify the Figma MCP server is connected by checking if Figma MCP tools (e.g., get_design_context) are available.
  • If the tools are not available, the Figma MCP server may not be enabled. Guide the user to enable the Figma MCP server that is included with the plugin. They may need to restart their MCP client afterward.
• User must provide a Figma URL in the format: https://figma.com/design/:fileKey/:fileName?node-id=1-2
  • :fileKey is the file key
  • 1-2 is the node ID (the specific component or frame to implement)
• Project should have an established design system or component library (preferred)

Required Workflow

Follow these steps in order. Do not skip steps.

Step 1: Get Node ID

Option A: Parse from Figma URL

When the user provides a Figma URL, extract the file key and node ID to pass as arguments to MCP tools.

URL format: https://figma.com/design/:fileKey/:fileName?node-id=1-2

Extract:

• File key: :fileKey (the segment after /design/)
• Node ID: 1-2 (the value of the node-id query parameter)

Example:

• URL: https://figma.com/design/kL9xQn2VwM8pYrTb4ZcHjF/DesignSystem?node-id=42-15
• File key: kL9xQn2VwM8pYrTb4ZcHjF
• Node ID: 42-15

Step 2: Fetch Design Context

Run get_design_context with the extracted file key and node ID.

get_design_context(fileKey=":fileKey", nodeId="1-2")

This provides the structured data including:

• Layout properties (Auto Layout, constraints, sizing)
• Typography specifications
• Color values and design tokens
• Component structure and variants
• Spacing and padding values ...
