figma-create-new-file

**MANDATORY prerequisite** — you MUST invoke this skill BEFORE every `create_new_file` tool call. NEVER call `create_new_file` directly without loading this skill first. Trigger whenever the user wants a new blank Figma file — a new design, FigJam, or Slides file — or when you need a fresh file before calling `use_figma`. Usage — /figma-create-new-file [editorType] [fileName] (e.g. /figma-create-new-file figjam My Whiteboard, /figma-create-new-file slides Q3 Review)

Quality

Content

85%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is well-structured and highly actionable with a clear workflow and clean progressive disclosure. The only meaningful weakness is minor internal redundancy that slightly undercuts token efficiency.

Suggestions

Remove the redundant MANDATORY restatement in the body since it already leads the description, and consolidate the editor-type list (currently stated in the Arguments, Workflow table, and Important Notes) to one canonical location.

Deduplicate the drafts-folder note (stated both in the intro and in Important Notes), keeping it only in Important Notes.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly lean and assumes Claude's competence, but it repeats content already in the description (the MANDATORY restatement, editor types listed in three places, and the drafts-folder note stated twice), so it could be tightened. Not a 3 because not every token earns its place; not a 2-below because it avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows.

2 / 3

Actionability

Provides a concrete parameter table, a copy-paste-ready JSON payload, and a precise decision tree for resolving planKey (single vs. multiple plans), giving fully executable guidance for the MCP tool call.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clear three-step sequence (resolve planKey -> call create_new_file -> use the result) with a decision tree and an explicit handoff note to load figma-use. File creation is non-destructive, so the absence of a validate-fix-retry loop does not cap the score per the rubric's feedback-loop guidance.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Content is organized into well-separated sections (Arguments, Workflow, Important Notes, Editor-specific notes) with one clearly signaled, one-level-deep reference (figma-use-slides slide-grid) for an edge case, keeping the overview clean.

Description

90%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is highly specific and complete with strong natural-language triggers and a clear, non-conflicting niche. Its main weakness is the heavy second-person directive voice, which the rubric penalizes on specificity.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists concrete creation outcomes ("a new design, FigJam, or Slides file") rather than vague language, but it is fundamentally one action with type variants, not multiple distinct actions. Reduced by one for pervasive second-person voice ("you MUST invoke", "you need a fresh file") per the rubric's voice guideline.

2 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly states what it does (create a new blank Figma file of three editor types) and when to use it ("Trigger whenever the user wants a new blank Figma file ... or when you need a fresh file before calling use_figma"), satisfying both what and when.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Natural user phrasing is well covered ("new blank Figma file", "new design", "FigJam", "Slides", "fresh file") with an explicit "Trigger whenever" clause, matching the high-coverage anchor.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The niche is narrow and distinct (creating new files via create_new_file, explicitly separated from use_figma), with triggers unlikely to fire for unrelated skills.
