Genuinely sharp design-system prompt (exact type scale ranges, a disciplined 3-tier color-by-hue palette, and it calls out the single most common Plugin-API bug - adding section.x to a child's already-section-relative offset - by name), but it is unusable out of the GitHub clone alone: SKILL.md itself says to load `figma-plugin:figma-use` and `figma-plugin:figma-use-figjam` first, and neither companion skill nor any Figma MCP tool ships in this repo or was available to test with.

What FigJam Builder does
A prompt-only skill that teaches Claude a full FigJam design system - type scale by role, a three-tier accent/vibrant/muted color palette, a 4px spacing grid, section-local coordinate rules, and an audit checklist - then applies it to build new boards or edit existing ones through Figma's Plugin API. Triggers on FigJam build/edit/layout-fix requests or any shared figma.com/board URL, but explicitly requires the separate `figma-plugin:figma-use` and `figma-plugin:figma-use-figjam` companion skills plus live Figma MCP tools (`use_figma`, `get_figjam`, etc.) that are not bundled in this repository.
How to install FigJam Builder
git clone https://github.com/prasantloki/figjam-builder
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r figjam-builder ~/.claude/skills/figjam-builder
# ALSO REQUIRED, not included in this repo: a Figma MCP server exposing use_figma/get_figjam/upload_assets/create_new_file/generate_diagram, plus the figma-plugin:figma-use, figma-plugin:figma-use-figjam, and figma-generate-diagram companion skills.
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger FigJam Builder
-
/figjam-builderA visual-design rulebook (type scale, color tiers, spacing grid) for building or editing FigJam boards via the Figma Plugin API.
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
Build a three-zone decision board comparing Postgres and DynamoDB -
Fix the spacing and color tiers on this existing FigJam board -
Lay out a FigJam board using our type scale and 4px spacing grid
Frequently asked questions
- Is the FigJam Builder skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from prasantloki/figjam-builder. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does FigJam Builder work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 16, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. Genuinely sharp design-system prompt (exact type scale ranges, a disciplined 3-tier color-by-hue palette, and it calls out the single most common Plugin-API bug - adding section.x to a child's already-section-relative offset - by name), but it is unusable out of the GitHub clone alone: SKILL.md itself says to load `figma-plugin:figma-use` and `figma-plugin:figma-use-figjam` first, and neither companion skill nor any Figma MCP tool ships in this repo or was available to test with.
- What is the FigJam Builder SkillProof Score?
- 8.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 7/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install FigJam Builder?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use FigJam Builder with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
