Figma Annotations

Category: Product  ·  Sub-category: design-system-ui  ·  Last updated:
lang:javascripttool:figma
Read and write designer annotations on Figma nodes — node-level design specs that pin properties (fills, width, fontSize, etc.) and carry plain or markdown notes. Use when the user wants to document or inspect interaction specs, animation timings, easing, accessibility requirements, or implementation notes attached directly to a node. Triggers: 'add an annotation', 'annotate this node/component', 'read the annotations on…', 'what specs are pinned to this element', 'list annotation categories', 'document the focus behavior on this button in Figma'. Annotations are distinct from comments (they pin to design properties) and from the description field. Requires the Figma Desktop app (Plugin API).

From the source SKILL.md

Annotations are designer-authored specs attached to a node. Each can carry a note (plain label or rich labelMarkdown), a set of pinned properties (fills, width, fontSize, …) that link the note to specific design attributes, and an optional category (interactions, accessibility, dev notes, …). They live on the node, survive edits, and are undoable (Cmd+Z). They are the right place for animation timings, easing curves, interaction behavior, and a11y requirements that don't belong in the component description.

What this skill does

Figma Annotations is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the design-system-ui sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/figma-annotations/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the user wants to document or inspect interaction specs, animation timings, easing, accessibility requirements, or implementation notes attached directly to a node. Triggers: 'add an annotation', 'annotate this node/component', 'read the annotations on…', 'what specs are pinned to this element', 'list annotation categories', 'document the focus behavior on this button in Figma'.
