- figma-use is designed for AI agents. Example with Claude:
226
-
227
- ```python
228
- import anthropic
229
- import subprocess
230
-
231
- def figma(cmd):
232
- result = subprocess.run(
233
- f"figma-use {cmd} --json",
234
- shell=True, capture_output=True, text=True
235
- )
236
- return result.stdout
237
-
238
- client = anthropic.Anthropic()
239
-
240
- response = client.messages.create(
241
- model="claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
242
- messages=[{
243
- "role": "user",
244
- "content": "Create a blue button with white text 'Click me'"
245
- }],
246
- tools=[{
247
- "name": "figma",
248
- "description": "Run figma-use CLI command",
249
- "input_schema": {
250
- "type": "object",
251
- "properties": {
252
- "command": {"type": "string"}
253
- }
254
- }
255
- }]
256
- )
245
+ figma-use is designed to work with AI coding agents like [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code), [Cursor](https://cursor.sh), or any agent that can execute shell commands.
246
+
247
+ ### Using with Claude Code
248
+
249
+ Add the [web-to-figma skill](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/tree/main/skills) to your agent:
250
+
251
+ ```bash
252
+ # The skill teaches the agent how to:
253
+ # - Extract styles from web pages
254
+ # - Recreate UI components in Figma
255
+ # - Match colors, fonts, spacing, and layout
256
+ ```
257
+
258
+ Then just ask:
259
+
257
260
  ```
261
+ Recreate this login form in Figma: https://example.com/login
262
+ ```
263
+
264
+ The agent will use `figma-use` commands to build the design.
