Figma to Code

CodingAdvanced

Uses the Figma MCP server to extract layout, colors, typography, and spacing from design frames, then generates React/Tailwind component code that follows the design system.

# Figma to Code Skill
## Trigger: /figma [Figma frame link or description]

Prerequisites: Figma MCP server configured

When invoked:

1. Extract design data:
 - Layout: flex/grid, gap, padding, margin
 - Colors: fill, stroke → CSS variables
 - Typography: font, size, weight, line-height
 - Components: identify reusable patterns

2. Map to code:
 - Auto Layout → Flexbox/Grid
 - Figma components → React components
 - Design tokens → Tailwind config
 - Variants → component props

3. Generate code:
 - React + Tailwind CSS (or project's stack)
 - Responsive breakpoints (mobile-first)
 - Semantic HTML + ARIA labels
 - Component props for variants

4. Output:
 - Component file(s)
 - Required Tailwind config additions
 - Usage example with props

Copy and paste into your CLAUDE.md to start using immediately.

How Figma to Code Works

Figma-to-Code reads Figma design data (JSON or URL), extracts component hierarchy, spacing, colors, and typography, then generates production-ready React components with proper Tailwind CSS classes and responsive breakpoints.

When to Use Figma to Code

Dramatically accelerates frontend development when designers hand off complex layouts — especially for design systems where consistent component structure and styling tokens need to be maintained across pages.

Key Strengths

Translates design hierarchy directly into component structure
Generates responsive layouts with proper breakpoints
Maintains design token consistency across components
Produces production-ready code, not rough approximations
