What this skill does
usefigma — Figma Plugin API Skill for Slides This skill contains Slides-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-slides in the comma-separated skillNames parameter when calling usefigma for Slides operations. If this skill was loaded via an MCP resource, you MUST prefix the name with resource: (e.g. resource:figma-use-slides). This is a logging parameter used to track skill usage — it does not affect execution. Choosing How to Build a Slides Deck If your environment also provides a generatedeck tool, choose one approach per deck request — do not call both for the same deck. When to use which usefigma + this skill (default): Handles any Slides task — new decks, edits to existing decks, brand-matched designs, reference-file styling, iterative refinement, speaker notes, and full creative control over layout, color, and typography. Use this for most requests. generatedeck: Generates a complete deck in a single call using prebuilt, curated templates. Useful for quick, straightforward decks where the user doesn't need custom design, brand matching, or reference-file styling. It cannot use custom templates, cannot reference other Figma files for design direction, and does not support iterative editing or follow-up modifications through the conversation. When in doubt, default to usefigma + this skill — it covers everything generatedeck can do and more. Pick one and commit Once you choose an approach for a deck, complete the entire request with that approach. Do not generate a deck with generatedeck and then also create or populate a file with usefigma — the user ends up with duplicate, conflicting artifacts and a confusing experience. Critical Rules (Slides-specific) 1. Newly created Slides files have a default light theme. …
