Figma Use
Execute arbitrary Figma Plugin API scripts against your Figma files — inspect nodes, modify properties, batch-update styles, export assets, run audits, or automate repetitive canvas operations. This is the low-level Figma power tool: instead of working at the component or library level, it gives you direct script access to the Figma Plugin API for any operation the API supports. Use it for bulk edits, custom inspections, data population, or any Figma automation that isn't covered by higher-level skills.

A Gem can't connect to an MCP, so it can't run this skill. This skill needs Figma MCP.
Use the instead.
