View on GitHubWhat This Skill Does
Creates a new blank Figma or FigJam file in the user's drafts folder. Accepts an editor type and file name as arguments, resolves the user's plan automatically, and returns the file key and URL for immediate use.
Instead of switching to the Figma app to create a file manually, this skill handles plan resolution and file creation in one step so subsequent MCP tool calls have a file key ready to go.
When to use it
- Starting a new design file before running Figma MCP tools
- Creating a named FigJam whiteboard for a planning session
- Setting up a fresh design file as part of an automated design workflow
- Generating a new Figma file without leaving the chat interface
- Creating multiple named files in sequence for a multi-screen project
