Duc01226 Easyplatform Figma Design

[IMPORTANT] Use TaskCreate to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting.

Quick Summary

Goal: Extract structured design context from Figma designs for downstream use by design-spec and planning skills.

Workflow:

1. Detect Input — Parse Figma URL, extract file key + node ID
2. Select Extraction Method — 4-level fallback chain
3. Extract Context — Design tokens, components, layout, typography
4. Output Artifact — Structured markdown for design-spec consumption

Key Rules:

Frontend/UI Context (if applicable)

When this task involves frontend or UI changes,

UI System Context — For ANY task touching .ts, .html, .scss, or .css files:

MUST ATTENTION READ before implementing:

1. docs/project-reference/frontend-patterns-reference.md — component base classes, stores, forms
2. docs/project-reference/scss-styling-guide.md — BEM methodology, SCSS variables, mixins, responsive
3. docs/project-reference/design-system/README.md — design tokens, component inventory, icons

Reference docs/project-config.json for project-specific paths.

• Component patterns: docs/project-reference/frontend-patterns-reference.md (content auto-injected by hook — check for [Injected: ...] header before reading)

• Styling/BEM guide: docs/project-reference/scss-styling-guide.md

• Design system tokens: docs/project-reference/design-system/README.md

• Always try highest-fidelity method first, fallback gracefully

• Output must be consumable by design-spec and ui-wireframe-protocol

• Keep extraction under 5K tokens per design

Extraction Fallback Chain

Level 1: Official Figma MCP (Best Fidelity)

Check if MCP tools available: look for get_design_context in tool list.

If available:

1. get_design_context — structured layout, components, tokens, constraints
2. get_screenshot — visual reference image
3. get_code_connect_map — map Figma components to code components

Level 2: GLips Figma-Context-MCP (Good Fidelity)

Check if GLips MCP tools available (look for figma-context tools).

If available:

1. Extract file metadata, frame structure, component list
2. Limited to read-only operations

Level 3: Figma REST API (Manual)

If FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable exists:

1. Call GET /v1/files/{file_key}/nodes?ids={node_id} via bash script
2. Parse response for: component names, styles, layout properties
3. Limited — no screenshot, no Code Connect

Level 4: Screenshot + ai-multimodal (Always Available)

If no MCP and no API token:

1. Ask user via AskUserQuestion: "Please screenshot the Figma frame and paste here"
2. Analyze via ai-multimodal skill with design extraction prompts
3. Extract: approximate colors, fonts, spacing, layout, components

Output Format

Save to team-artifacts/design-specs/{YYMMDD}-figma-extract-{slug}.md:

# Figma Design Extract: {Name}

**Source:** {Figma URL}
**Method:** {MCP Level 1 | MCP Level 2 | REST API | Screenshot}
**Date:** {YYMMDD}

## Design Tokens

| Category   | Token     | Value                |
| ---------- | --------- | -------------------- |
| Color      | Primary   | {hex}                |
| Color      | Secondary | {hex}                |
| Typography | Heading   | {font, size, weight} |
| Spacing    | Base      | {px}                 |

## Component Inventory

- **{ComponentName}** — {description}, variants: {list}

## Layout

{ASCII wireframe per ui-wireframe-protocol}

## Responsive

{Breakpoint behavior if detectable}

When to Use

• Figma URL detected in PBI, design-spec, or user prompt
• Called by design-spec when Figma URL is present
• Called by planning skill during Design Context Extraction step

When NOT to Use

• No Figma URL present — skip, proceed to design-spec directly
• Hand-drawn wireframe — use wireframe-to-spec instead
• Screenshot of existing app — use design-screenshot instead

Closing Reminders

• IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION break work into small todo tasks using TaskCreate BEFORE starting
• IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION search codebase for 3+ similar patterns before creating new code
• IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION cite file:line evidence for every claim (confidence >80% to act)
• IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION add a final review todo task to verify work quality MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION READ the following files before starting:
• IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION read frontend-patterns-reference, scss-styling-guide, design-system/README before any UI change.
