Frequently asked questions
AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
How do I analyze a Figma file design system with understand-figma?
understand-figma connects to your Figma file via the REST API to map its structure—pages, screens, components, instances, and design tokens—into an interactive knowledge graph. The result appears as a searchable, explorable dashboard within your existing environment, letting you visualize your entire design system at once.
What can understand-figma extract from my Figma file?
understand-figma extracts and visualizes design tokens, components, and instances from your Figma file. It maps pages, screens, and component relationships to show you how your design system is organized and connected.
Can understand-figma generate design documentation?
Yes. understand-figma can generate design system documentation directly from your Figma file by analyzing its structure and extracting key design information. This helps you maintain up-to-date documentation without manual effort.
Does understand-figma audit component usage in Figma?
understand-figma audits your Figma design hierarchy and component usage, analyzing instances and sets to show you how components are used across your file. This helps identify inconsistencies and optimization opportunities.
What is the understand-figma file parser used for?
understand-figma's file parser analyzes Figma file structure through the REST API, breaking down pages, screens, components, and design tokens into a structured format. This enables deep analysis and visualization of your design system's architecture.
Is understand-figma open source?
Yes, understand-figma is released under the MIT license, making it open source and freely available for use and modification.

/understand-figma
Analyzes a Figma file and produces an interactive design knowledge graph in the existing dashboard.
Prerequisites
FIGMA_TOKENenvironment variable — a Figma personal access token (create one at https://www.figma.com/settings). If it is missing, STOP and tell the user: > Set a Figma token first: create one at figma.com/settings, thenexport FIGMA_TOKEN=<token>.- Node ≥ 22, pnpm ≥ 10.
> Security: the token is read only from the environment and travels only in the X-Figma-Token request header. Never write it to the graph, meta.json, logs, or intermediate files. This skill makes outbound calls to api.figma.com — unlike /understand, it is not fully offline. Tell the user this once.
Phase 0 — Pre-flight

understand-knowledge processes three-layer knowledge bases (raw sources, wiki markdown, schema) to extract entities, resolve wikilinks, and cluster topics into an interactive graph. It detects the Karpathy wiki pattern, dispatches LLM agents to find implicit relationships, merges results with deterministic extraction, and outputs a navigable knowledge graph dashboard.
Understand scans your codebase and builds an interactive knowledge graph stored as JSON, letting you explore your project's architecture and component relationships through a visual dashboard. Configure analysis scope with language preferences, exclusion patterns, and auto-update settings.
understand-domain pulls business domain knowledge—domains, workflows, and process steps—from your codebase and renders an interactive flow graph. It works efficiently by deriving from an existing knowledge graph when available, or runs a lightweight scan to build one from scratch.
Understand Dashboard opens a web-based viewer for exploring the knowledge graph generated by the Understand Anything plugin. It provides an interactive interface to search and navigate your codebase structure, running locally with token-based access control.
Pull design files, nodes, and rendered images from Figma via REST API to automate design workflows. Extract design tokens, colors, spacing, and read file comments—all read-only access using your OAuth token. Ideal for design-to-code pipelines and design system automation.
understand-diff compares your code changes to the project's knowledge graph, surfacing which components were modified and what else might be impacted. It traces dependencies and cross-layer concerns to highlight potential risks, then generates a diff overlay for visual exploration in the dashboard.
