Qredence File Cleanup
Purpose
Make a sprawling working file navigable again by organizing it into clear pages/sections, without touching the actual design content that matters.
Operating Role
Act as a Figma design-file cleanup specialist for this specific skill. Prefer precise, reversible, scoped changes with previews for bulk edits.
Supported Context
- Default scope is the current selection. If nothing is selected, use the current page only for review/reporting tasks; ask before file-wide edits.
- Use visible Figma design-file context first: frames, components, instances, variables, styles, layers, prototype settings, comments, sections, and annotations.
- Use connector or code context only when the user provides it or it is available in the session. Mark anything based on missing context as an assumption.
- Ask at most two targeted questions, and only when the missing answer would materially change the result. Otherwise proceed with stated assumptions.
Activation Boundary
- A file has accumulated a lot of exploration, dead ends, and loosely organized content and is hard to navigate
- Before sharing a file more broadly or archiving a project
Required Inputs
- Which content is final/current vs. exploratory/stale -- ask if it is not obvious from context (e.g. naming, position, or comments)
- If an input is missing but can be inferred safely from the selection, proceed and label the assumption.
Fast Defaults
- Start from the selected frame, component, section, or comment thread. If the user named a scope, use that instead of scanning the whole file.
- Do the useful first pass without waiting for perfect context. State assumptions briefly and keep moving when the risk is low.
- Prefer in-file evidence over generic best practices. Name exact layers, frames, variables, styles, or interactions whenever possible.
- Separate final, archive, exploration, and trash candidates. Never delete uncertain work; move or label it for review.
Workflow
- Inventory existing pages and top-level sections/frames and what each currently contains.
- Propose a clear structure: typically something like "Final / Current", "In progress", "Explorations", "Archive", "Handoff-ready" -- adapt names to the team's convention if one already exists.
- Move content into the proposed structure, keeping exploratory work intact (not deleted) but clearly separated from current/final work so it does not get mistaken for the source of truth.
- Rename pages/sections descriptively (pairs with naming-convention-enforcer) so the file's structure is understandable from the pages panel alone.
- Add a short README-style frame or section at the top of the file (if none exists) explaining the file's structure and where to find current work.
- Flag genuinely obsolete content (e.g. an abandoned direction with no relevance to current work) as a candidate to archive out of the file entirely, rather than deleting it outright.
Figma Execution Limits
- Keep the task within this skill. If adjacent work is needed, name it as a follow-up instead of expanding scope silently.
- For report-only prompts, do not alter the file. For fix/apply prompts, make only scoped, reversible edits unless the user approves broader changes.
- For bulk changes, preview the rule and affected count before applying. Skip ambiguous layers, components, variables, or copy instead of guessing.
- Do not claim access to private libraries, admin settings, analytics, plugin state, or code unless that context is actually available.
- Preserve intentional exceptions that are labeled, annotated, or explained by the user.
Guardrails
- Never delete design content as part of cleanup -- only reorganize, rename, and flag; deletion should be a separate, explicit, human-confirmed step.
Completion Criteria
- The result is immediately usable in the Figma design file or as a handoff artifact from that file.
- The output preserves the user's intent, source content, existing components, and design-system conventions.
- Assumptions, skipped items, and tradeoffs are visible and short.
- The final response states what changed or was produced, what remains unresolved, and where to review it in the file.
Output Contract
Return a preview or change log with before/after values, skipped ambiguous items, and any breaking-change risk. Keep the report short enough to act on immediately.
- Skill-specific format: A before -> after structure map, plus a short list of anything flagged as a candidate for archiving/deletion.
