How do I install the Inspect Design Context skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add hiai-gg/inspect-design-context in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Inspect Design Context safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Inspect Design Context?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Inspect Design Context free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

Inspect Design Context

Extract design context from a Figma file through the official Figma MCP: design tokens, variables, components, and layout structure for a selected frame or node. Use when implementing a design, checking design tokens, or understanding a Figma screen's structure.

Inspect Design Context from Figma

Use this skill when an agent needs structured design context from a Figma file — tokens, variables, components, and layout — to implement or verify a design.

Context

The Figma MCP server provides design context tools such as get_design_context (structured representation of a selection) and get_variable_defs (variables/styles: color, spacing, typography). Figma's own plugin skills (e.g. in Claude Code/Cursor) cover client-specific flows; this skill is the portable workflow.

Workflow

1. Get the file/node reference

Ask the user for the Figma file link (or a frame/layer link).
The client extracts the node id from the link; the MCP server identifies the object from it. Confirm which node you are targeting.

2. Pull the structured context

Fetch the design context for the node (get_design_context): the structured representation of the selection.
Fetch variables/definitions (get_variable_defs): colors, spacing, typography tokens used in the selection.
If the response is too large or truncated, fetch high-level metadata first, then re-fetch only the needed nodes.

3. Organize the context

Extract:

Tokens: color, spacing, radius, typography variables with names/values.
Components: which components are used and where.
Layout: auto-layout structure, nesting, responsive intent.
Assets: images/SVGs referenced by the selection.

4. Report

Give a structured summary: the node, its tokens, components, layout, and assets — enough to implement the design faithfully. Note anything missing or ambiguous (unnamed layers, missing variables) rather than guessing.

Guardrails

Read operations only (fetching context). Figma MCP can write to the canvas — this skill never writes; it only reads design context.
Keep responses bounded; do not dump entire large selections.
