What This Skill Does

Creates a new blank Figma or FigJam file in the user's drafts folder. Accepts an editor type and file name as arguments, then returns the file key and URL for use in subsequent steps.

Automating file creation removes the manual step of opening Figma, navigating to drafts, and naming the file before any programmatic design work can begin.

When to use it

  • Starting a new UI design file before running layout generation
  • Creating a FigJam whiteboard for a brainstorm session
  • Spinning up a named design file as part of an automated design workflow
  • Generating a fresh file to hand off to figma-use for canvas operations
  • Bootstrapping a Figma file when none exists yet in a multi-step agent task
