Figma → code

SkillMedia

Use when implementing or updating a component from a Figma link — how to turn the Figma design variables into code tokens, on both platforms: Tailwind classnames for libs/ui-react and themeJS (`t.*`) paths for libs/ui-rnative. For the full token catalogues and styling mechanics, see component-styling.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by ledgerhq/lumen in .claude/skills/figma-to-code/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Use the Figma MCP server to read the design. This skill covers only the variable → token derivation — the part that is specific to extracting from Figma. For the full token lists, cva, useStyleSheet and the rest, see component-styling.

Route by the lib you're implementing in (see the Libraries table in AGENTS.md): web → the Tailwind mapping; React Native → the themeJS mapping.

React web (libs/ui-react) — Figma variable → Tailwind class

Combine the Tailwind prefix for the CSS property with the unique part of the token name (the segment after the last hyphen of the CSS variable).

  • Typography: Figma shows a style-name comment like /* body/3 */. No prefix — replace / with -: body-3.
  • Drop shadow: Figma shows /* box-shadow/sm */. Prefix shadow-, take the unique part after the last -: shadow-sm. Values: shadow-smshadow-2xl.

React Native (libs/ui-rnative) — Figma variable → themeJS path

There are no classnames on RN. The same Figma variable maps to a path on the t object inside useStyleSheet((t) => …) (same token vocabulary as web, JS object shape — see component-styling/references/rnative.md).

Figma showsthemeJS path
var(--background-base)t.colors.bg.base
var(--text-on-accent)t.colors.text.onAccent
var(--border-muted)t.colors.border.muted
var(--spacing-4)t.spacings.s4
var(--radius-lg)t.borderRadius.lg
typography /* body/3 */t.typographies.body3
  • Colours are nested under a category key (bg / text / border), and kebab segments become camelCase keys (on-accentonAccent).
  • Spacings and sizes are s-prefixed by pixel value: --spacing-4t.spacings.s4, --spacing-16t.spacings.s16; sizes likewise (t.sizes.s112, plus t.sizes.full for 100%).
  • Border radius keys are named, not pixel values: none, xs, sm, md, lg, xl, 2xl, full (so t.borderRadius['2xl']).
  • Typography keys are camelCase: body/3t.typographies.body3, body/2-semi-boldt.typographies.body2SemiBold.
  • Source of truth for the key sets: libs/design-core/src/lib/themes/js/primitives/primitives.others.ts (spacings, sizes, borderRadius) and the per-brand theme.*.ts colour objects. Confirm a key there rather than inventing one.

When a Figma size has no token (both platforms)

  1. Use the closest available token (e.g. 112 for Figma's 108, 96 for 90).
  2. Document the deviation in a code comment.
  3. Consider requesting the token be added if it's needed often.
// ✅ Web — closest token, documented
<Tile className='w-112' size='md' /> // 112px (closest to Figma's 108px)
