Push design tokens from code INTO Figma as variables — DTCG / tokens.json / a token object → Figma variable collections, modes, and values. Use when the user wants to sync tokens code→Figma: triggers 'import tokens into Figma', 'create Figma variables from my tokens.json / DTCG / Tailwind config', 'sync design tokens to Figma', 'push tokens to Figma'. Non-destructively matches existing variables (by saved id/key/name) so re-imports update instead of duplicating. Works on ANY Figma plan. For the reverse (Figma → code) use figma-export-tokens.

From the source SKILL.md

Create and update Figma variables from a token source (DTCG tokens.json, a Tailwind/SCSS export, or a plain token object). Aliases and multi-mode values are supported. Re-running is safe: variables are matched by saved Figma id → key → exact name, so an update edits in place rather than duplicating.
