About figma-analyze-component-set

figma-analyze-component-set is a skill that turns a Figma component set into a blueprint for generating component CSS. It identifies variant axes, maps states to CSS or ARIA selectors, and reports visual changes from the default variant for design-system implementation.

Key features

  1. 01Extract variant axes and component properties
  2. 02Map states to CSS and ARIA selectors
  3. 03Report per-variant differences from default
  4. 04Resolve bound variables to token names
  5. 05Guide CSS rule generation and validation

Use cases

  1. 01Translate Figma button variants into CSS states
  2. 02Build component styles from a design-system set
  3. 03Check that generated rules cover every component state

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

Details

From the project README

figma-analyze-component-set — variant state machine → CSS

Take a Figma COMPONENT_SET (the purple dashed container holding all the variants of one component) and turn it into a code-generation blueprint: which property axes are state vs size, how each state maps to a CSS pseudo-class or ARIA attribute, and the minimal visual delta each state applies on top of the default variant. This is the bridge between "Figma has 12 button variants" and "emit one .btn rule + :hover/:disabled overrides."

Skill boundaries

  • use_figma rules — load the official figma-use skill first; it is the full Figma Plugin API reference. Essentials these scripts rely on: plain JS with top-level await + return (no IIFE, no figma.closePlugin(); console.log is not returned), inputs inlined as const at the top of each script, colors in 0–1 range, load fonts before any text op, await figma.getNodeByIdAsync(...), and atomic errors (a failed script applies nothing — read the error, fix, retry).
  • Full recursive tree (unlimited depth, reactions, instance refs) → use figma-deep-component.
  • Reorganizing variants into a labeled grid → use figma-arrange-component-set.
  • Adding/removing the properties themselves → use figma-component-properties.
  • This is a design-system code-gen capability that the native MCP's get_design_context / get_metadata do not provide — they return raw structure, not a variant→CSS state machine.

Workflow

  1. Get the COMPONENT_SET id. From the user's selection (figma_get_selection), a search, or a node id they paste. It must be the set, not an individual variant — the script validates type.
  2. Run scripts/analyze-component-set.js via use_figma (skillNames: "figma-analyze-component-set"). Set const COMPONENT_SET_ID at the top first.
  3. Read the result. It returns variantAxes (each axis + its options), componentProps (non-variant TEXT/BOOLEAN/INSTANCE_SWAP props → code props), a stateMachine with cssMapping (state name → CSS selector) and defaultSignature, and per-variant diffFromDefault.
  4. Generate code. Implement the default variant from defaultSignature, then add one rule per cssMapping entry applying only that variant's diffFromDefault. Map componentProps to framework props: BOOLEAN→boolean, TEXT→string, INSTANCE_SWAP→ReactNode/slot, VARIANT→union.
  5. Validate. Cross-check that every state in stateMachine.states got a CSS rule, and that token names in the diff (e.g. Color/Brand/Primary) resolve to your exported tokens.

How states map to CSS

The script normalizes the state axis value (case-insensitive) to a selector:

Variant valueCSS / ARIA selector
default(base rule, no selector)
hover:hover
focus / focused / focus-visible:focus-visible
active / pressed:active
disabled:disabled, [aria-disabled="true"]
error / invalid[aria-invalid="true"]
selected[aria-selected="true"]
checked:checked
loading[aria-busy="true"]
open / closed`[aria-expanded="true"
filled.has-value

Notes

  • Diffs are computed against the default variant, so a state's diffFromDefault lists only the properties that change (fill token, stroke, text color, opacity, effects, child visibility). Emit exactly those as overrides — don't re-specify unchanged properties.
  • The script resolves boundVariables (fills/strokes) to token names when available, falling back to raw hex. Prefer the token name in generated code.
  • Axis detection is heuristic: an axis named state/status/interaction is the state axis; size/scale is the size axis. If your set names axes differently, the cssMapping may be empty — read variantAxes and map states yourself.
