Summary
This post introduces 'skills' as a new mechanism for users to define and share custom agent behaviors within Figma. It details how these skills, written as markdown files, enable users to guide the Figma agent for specific tasks such as image auditing, shader prompting, type scale generation, motion design application, component documentation, color token mapping, component analysis, UI state expansion, design critique, and usability testing guide creation. It highlights the collaborative aspect of skills, allowing teams to share their best practices and prompts, and mentions their integration with Figma's MCP server for use in third-party agents.
