Figma Variable Audit is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. Figma Variable Audit comes from a repository tagged claude-code, claude-code-plugin, design-system, design-systems and design-tokens.

Documentation

README

Figma variable audit

A skill for auditing Figma variable collections against three-tier token architecture principles. Produces a structured report with severity-rated findings and a prioritised remediation list. For teams whose source of truth lives in Figma variables rather than code.

Context

This skill applies the three-tier token architecture model to Figma variables: primitives encode raw values, semantic variables encode intent, and component-tier variables map intent to specific UI contexts. Figma-native teams treat variables as their token source of truth — this audit reads Figma directly and validates the same structural dimensions as the code-based token-audit: naming conventions, tier separation, alias chains, mode coverage, orphaned variables, and DTCG readiness.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.

AI Component Description

AI Component Description generates six-section prose descriptions for components so LLMs can understand purpose, props, composition, accessibility, and examples. Use it when writing Figma MCP descriptions or other text meant to make components legible to Claude and similar agents.
