3description: Use the Figma MCP server to fetch design context, screenshots, variables, and assets from Figma, and to translate Figma nodes into production code. Trigger when a task involves Figma URLs, node IDs, design-to-code implementation, or Figma MCP setup and troubleshooting.

8Use the Figma MCP server for Figma-driven implementation. For setup and debugging details (env vars, config, verification), see `references/figma-mcp-config.md`.

10## Figma MCP Integration Rules
11These rules define how to translate Figma inputs into code for this project and must be followed for every Figma-driven change.
12 
13### Required flow (do not skip)
141. Run get_design_context first to fetch the structured representation for the exact node(s).
152. If the response is too large or truncated, run get_metadata to get the high-level node map and then re-fetch only the required node(s) with get_design_context.
163. Run get_screenshot for a visual reference of the node variant being implemented.
174. Only after you have both get_design_context and get_screenshot, download any assets needed and start implementation.
185. Translate the output (usually React + Tailwind) into this project's conventions, styles and framework. Reuse the project's color tokens, components, and typography wherever possible.
196. Validate against Figma for 1:1 look and behavior before marking complete.
20 
21### Implementation rules
22- Treat the Figma MCP output (React + Tailwind) as a representation of design and behavior, not as final code style.
23- Replace Tailwind utility classes with the project's preferred utilities/design-system tokens when applicable.
24- Reuse existing components (e.g., buttons, inputs, typography, icon wrappers) instead of duplicating functionality.
25- Use the project's color system, typography scale, and spacing tokens consistently.
26- Respect existing routing, state management, and data-fetch patterns already adopted in the repo.
27- Strive for 1:1 visual parity with the Figma design. When conflicts arise, prefer design-system tokens and adjust spacing or sizes minimally to match visuals.
28- Validate the final UI against the Figma screenshot for both look and behavior.
29 
30### Asset handling
31- The Figma MCP Server provides an assets endpoint which can serve image and SVG assets.
32- IMPORTANT: If the Figma MCP Server returns a localhost source for an image or an SVG, use that image or SVG source directly.
33- IMPORTANT: DO NOT import/add new icon packages, all the assets should be in the Figma payload.
34- IMPORTANT: do NOT use or create placeholders if a localhost source is provided.
35 
36### Link-based prompting
37- The server is link-based: copy the Figma frame/layer link and give that URL to the MCP client when asking for implementation help.
38- The client cannot browse the URL but extracts the node ID from the link; always ensure the link points to the exact node/variant you want.
