Figma Variables Architecture Skill
Purpose
Deep analysis of the Vien 2.0 Figma design system variables. Covers the 4-layer architecture (Primitives → Semantics → Platform → Components), multi-brand support, mode composition, and reference chain resolution.

Key Facts
- 1,059 variables across 42 collections
- 4 architectural layers: Primitives (L1) → Semantics (L2) → Platform (L3) → Components (L4)
- 5 external brand libraries with 2,064 remote references
- Reference chains up to 11 hops deep
- 200+ distinct modes across all collections
- Platform layer is the bridge between design language and code implementation
Usage
- Referenced by
epost-mujiagent for design system decisions - Used by Figma-to-code pipeline for token resolution
- Informs component implementation across web, iOS, and Android
