What this skill does
usefigma — Figma Plugin API Skill for FigJam This skill contains FigJam-specific context for the usefigma MCP tool. The figma-use skill provides foundational context for plugin API execution via MCP as well as the full Figma plugin API for more advanced use-cases that are not described here. Always include figma-use-figjam in the comma-separated skillNames parameter when calling usefigma for FigJam operations. If this skill was loaded via an MCP resource, you MUST prefix the name with resource: (e.g. resource:figma-use-figjam). This is a logging parameter used to track skill usage — it does not affect execution. FigJam URL is figma.com/board/.... Do NOT call figma.createPage() in FigJam — it throws TypeError: figma.createPage no such property 'createPage' on the figma global object. createPage() is a Design-file API only (figma.com/design/...). FigJam files have a single implicit page; organize content with sections instead (see create-section). Inspecting FigJam Files getfigjam is the inspection tool for FigJam files. It returns the full node tree as XML, including IDs of pages, sections, stickies, connectors, and other nodes you need to reference in subsequent usefigma calls. Use getfigjam upfront before writing any usefigma code that needs to reference existing nodes (page IDs, section IDs, etc.). Don't try to discover IDs by running an inspection script — console.log output from usefigma is not returned to the agent (see figma-use Critical Rule #4). Only the return value comes back. getmetadata does NOT work on FigJam files — it is design-mode only and will fail immediately with "unsupported for FigJam files". getscreenshot requires a valid nodeId — passing an empty nodeId returns "invalid nodeId" error. Get IDs from getfigjam first. If you forgot to return an ID from a previous usefigma call and need it now, call getfigjam rather than re-running an inspection script. …
