SwiftUI ↔ Figma translation. Use whenever the user mentions Swift, SwiftUI, iOS, iPhone, or iPad — in EITHER direction — translating a Figma design into SwiftUI (design → code), or pushing SwiftUI views / screens / tokens back into a Figma file (code → design). Triggers on phrases like 'implement this Figma design in SwiftUI', 'build this screen in Swift', 'push this SwiftUI view to Figma', 'mirror my Swift code in a Figma file', or whenever a Figma URL appears alongside `.swift` files / an `.xcodeproj`. Routes to a direction-specific reference doc; loads alongside `figma-use` for the code → design path.

Translation between Figma designs and SwiftUI code, both directions. This file is a router — actual guidance lives in the references below.
| Direction | Trigger | Reference | |---|---|---| | Design → code | User wants SwiftUI in their iOS project from a Figma file/frame | references/design-to-code.md | | Code → design | User wants to push SwiftUI views / screens / tokens into a Figma file | references/code-to-design.md |
If the request is ambiguous — a Figma URL and .swift files both present, no verb makes it clear — ask the user which direction before loading a reference.
These points hold regardless of direction; the direction-specific references assume them.
get_design_context is the read tool for Figma. Pass clientLanguages: "swift" and clientFrameworks: "swiftui" so the response is framed as Swift. URL → tool args: figma.com/design/:fileKey/:fileName?node-id=:nodeId → use fileKey, replace - with : in nodeId. For figma.com/design/:fileKey/branch/:branchKey/:fileName, use branchKey as fileKey.get_design_context output is a structural reference, not a literal source. It approximates the visual. Never transliterate position: absolute / pixel frames / mix-blend-mode stacks into SwiftUI or into Figma — the screenshot is the source of truth in both directions.var(--backgrounds/primary, …), var(--labels/secondary, …), var(--separators/non-opaque, …) etc. map to Color(.systemBackground), Color.secondary, Color(.separator) in SwiftUI, and to variables in a semantic collection in Figma. Keep the mapping; drop the literal RGBA.get_design_context substitutes Figma's SF Symbol glyph runs back into <SFSymbol>{Image(systemName: "...")}</SFSymbol> wrappers in the response. Use those names verbatim. Code → design: call figma.util.getSfSymbolCharacter(name) inside use_figma to convert a symbol name to the matching character — never look up codepoints by hand.NavigationStack chrome; bottom row of icon+label pairs = TabView; repeating same-height rows with leading/trailing chrome = List. Match those system patterns rather than rebuilding them from primitives.use_figma is the API. Always load figma-use before any use_figma call. If the task involves building a full screen, also load figma-generate-design; if it involves building components or a design system, also load figma-generate-library.| Doc | When to load | |---|---| | references/design-to-code.md | Translating a Figma design / frame into SwiftUI | | references/code-to-design.md | Pushing SwiftUI views / screens / tokens into Figma |
development
Use when the user wants to spin up / create / launch / provision a DigitalOcean droplet (or "a remote dev box on DO") and connect to it from Codex as a remote SSH workspace.
data-ai
Search through Microsoft Teams chats or channels, triage unread or recent activity, draft follow-ups, and manage Planner tasks through connected Teams data.
tools
Motion / animation context for the `use_figma` MCP tool — animating Figma nodes via manual keyframes, animation styles, easing, and timeline duration. Load alongside figma-use whenever a task involves adding, editing, or inspecting animation on a node.
development
Translates Figma motion and animations into production-ready application code. Use when implementing animation/motion from a Figma design — user mentions "implement this motion", "add animation from Figma", "animate this component", provides a Figma URL whose node is animated, or when `get_design_context` returns motion data or instructs you to call `get_motion_context`.
