Create Property Annotation

Generate a visual property annotation directly in Figma — one exhibit per variant axis and boolean toggle, each showing the available options as component instances with a summary table.

MCP Adapter

Read uspecs.config.jsonmcpProvider. Follow the matching column for every MCP call in this skill.

figma-mcp requires fileKey on every call. Extract it once from the user's Figma URL at the start of the workflow. For branch URLs (figma.com/design/:fileKey/branch/:branchKey/:fileName), use :branchKey as the fileKey.

figma-mcp page context: use_figma resets figma.currentPage to the first page on every call. When a script accesses a node from a previous step via getNodeByIdAsync(ID), the page content may not be loaded — findAll, findOne, and characters will fail with TypeError until the page is activated. Insert this page-loading block at the start of every script that references a previously-created node:

const pages = figma.root.children;
const targetPage = pages.find(p => p.name === '__PAGE_NAME__');
if (targetPage) await figma.setCurrentPageAsync(targetPage);

Replace __PAGE_NAME__ with the actual page name (determined during Step 7 when the template is placed). This loads the page content so child nodes are accessible.

figma-mcp font loading: getRangeAllFontNames is not available in the use_figma sandbox and will throw TypeError. Replace it with tn.fontName (returns { family, style } for single-font text, or figma.mixed for mixed-font text). findAll and findOne work normally after setCurrentPageAsync — they do not need replacement.

Replace the font-collection loop in every script from:

const fonts = tn.getRangeAllFontNames(0, tn.characters.length);
for (const f of fonts) {
  const key = f.family + '|' + f.style;
  if (!fontSet.has(key)) { fontSet.add(key); fontsToLoad.push(f); }
}

to:

try {
  const fn = tn.fontName;
  if (fn && fn !== figma.mixed && fn.family) {
    const key = fn.family + '|' + fn.style;
    if (!fontSet.has(key)) { fontSet.add(key); fontsToLoad.push(fn); }
  }
} catch {}

And add .catch(() => {}) to the batch load: await Promise.all(fontsToLoad.map(f => figma.loadFontAsync(f).catch(() => {})));

Inputs Expected

  • Figma link to the component: URL to a component set or standalone component in Figma (required)
  • Figma link to the destination (optional): URL to the page/frame where the annotation should be placed. If omitted, places it in the same file as the component.

Copy this checklist and update as you progress:

Task Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Read instruction file
- [ ] Step 2: Verify MCP connection
- [ ] Step 3: Read template key from uspecs.config.json
- [ ] Step 4: Navigate to the component and extract property data
- [ ] Step 4a: Detect variant-gated booleans (deterministic + interpretation)

- [ ] Step 9: Build property exhibits with component instances
- [ ] Step 10: Visual validation

Step 1: Read Instructions

Read agent-property-instruction.md

Step 2: Verify MCP Connection

Read mcpProvider from uspecs.config.json to determine which Figma MCP to use.

If figma-console:

  • figma_get_status — Confirm Desktop Bridge plugin is active
  • If connection fails: "Please open Figma Desktop and run the Desktop Bridge plugin. Then try again."

If figma-mcp:

  • Connection is verified implicitly on the first use_figma call. No explicit check needed.
  • If the first call fails: "Please verify your FIGMA_API_KEY is set correctly in your MCP configuration."

Step 3: Read Template Key

Read the file uspecs.config.json and extract:

  • The propertyOverview value from the templateKeys object → save as PROPERTY_TEMPLATE_KEY
  • The fontFamily value → save as FONT_FAMILY (default to Inter if not set)

If the template key is empty, tell the user:

The property template key is not configured. Run @firstrun with your Figma template library link first.

Step 4: Extract Property Data

Navigate to the component file and run the extraction script via figma_execute.

Extract the node ID from the URL: Figma URLs contain node-id=123-456 → use 123:456.

Run this extraction script, replacing TARGET_NODE_ID with the actual node ID:

const TARGET_NODE_ID = '__NODE_ID__';

const node = await figma.getNodeByIdAsync(TARGET_NODE_ID);
if (!node || (node.type !== 'COMPONENT_SET' && node.type !== 'COMPONENT')) {
  return { error: 'Node is not a component set or component. Type: ' + (node ? node.type : 'null') };
}

const isComponentSet = node.type === 'COMPONENT_SET';
const propDefs = node.componentPropertyDefinitions;
const variantAxes = [];
const booleanProps = [];
const instanceSwapProps = [];
const slotProps = [];

for (const [rawKey, def] of Object.entries(propDefs)) {
  const cleanKey = rawKey.split('#')[0];
  if (def.type === 'VARIANT') {
    variantAxes.push({
      name: cleanKey,
      options: def.variantOptions || [],
      defaultValue: def.defaultValue
    });
  } else if (def.type === 'BOOLEAN') {
    let associatedLayer = null;
    let controlsSlot = false;
    let slotPreferredNames = [];
    const defaultVariant = isComponentSet ? (node.defaultVariant || node.children[0]) : node;
    const props = defaultVariant.componentProperties;
    if (props) {
      for (const [k, v] of Object.entries(props)) {
        if (k.split('#')[0] === cleanKey && v.type === 'BOOLEAN') {
          const nodeId = k.split('#')[1];
          if (nodeId) {
            try {
              const layerNode = await figma.getNodeByIdAsync(defaultVariant.id.split(';')[0] + ';' + nodeId);
              if (layerNode) {
                associatedLayer = layerNode.name;
                if (layerNode.type === 'SLOT') {
                  controlsSlot = true;
                  const matchedSlotDef = slotProps.find(s => s.name === layerNode.name) ||
                    Object.entries(propDefs).find(([rk, d]) => d.type === 'SLOT' && rk.split('#')[0] === layerNode.name);
                  if (matchedSlotDef) {
                    const sDef = matchedSlotDef.preferredInstances || (matchedSlotDef[1] && matchedSlotDef[1].preferredValues) || [];
                    const pvArr = Array.isArray(sDef) ? sDef : [];
                    for (const pv of pvArr) {
                      if (pv.componentName) slotPreferredNames.push(pv.componentName);
                    }
                  }
                }
              }
            } catch {}
          }
        }
      }
    }
    booleanProps.push({
      name: cleanKey,
      defaultValue: def.defaultValue,
      associatedLayer,
      controlsSlot,
      slotPreferredNames,
      rawKey
    });
  } else if (def.type === 'INSTANCE_SWAP') {
    instanceSwapProps.push({
      name: cleanKey,
      defaultValue: def.defaultValue,
      rawKey
    });
  } else if (def.type === 'SLOT') {
    const preferred = [];
    if (def.preferredValues && def.preferredValues.length > 0) {
      for (const pv of def.preferredValues) {
        if (pv.type === 'COMPONENT') {
          let compName = null;
          try {
            const comp = await figma.getNodeByIdAsync(pv.key);
            if (comp) compName = comp.name;
          } catch {}
          preferred.push({ componentKey: pv.key, componentName: compName || pv.key });
        }
      }
    }
    slotProps.push({
      name: cleanKey,
      description: def.description || '',
      preferredInstances: preferred,
      rawKey
    });
  }
}

const defaultVariant = isComponentSet ? (node.defaultVariant || node.children[0]) : node;
const defaultProps = { ...(defaultVariant.variantProperties || {}) };

return {
  componentName: node.name,
  compSetNodeId: TARGET_NODE_ID,
  isComponentSet,
  variantAxes,
  booleanProps,
  instanceSwapProps,
  slotProps,
  defaultProps,
  defaultVariantName: defaultVariant.name
};

Save the returned JSON — you will use it in subsequent steps.

Step 4a: Detect Variant-Gated Booleans

Some boolean properties only have a visual effect under specific variant axis values. For example, a "Dismiss button" boolean may only control a layer that exists in the Behavior=Interactive variant, not in Behavior=Static. When the default variant lacks the target layer, toggling the boolean produces identical-looking previews.

After extracting properties in Step 4, run this script to resolve each boolean's target layer across all variant axis values. Replace TARGET_NODE_ID with the actual node ID:

const TARGET_NODE_ID = '__NODE_ID__';

const node = await figma.getNodeByIdAsync(TARGET_NODE_ID);
if (!node || node.type !== 'COMPONENT_SET') {
  return { skip: true, reason: 'Not a component set — no variant gating possible' };
}

const propDefs = node.componentPropertyDefinitions;
const boolDefs = [];
for (const [rawKey, def] of Object.entries(propDefs)) {
  if (def.type === 'BOOLEAN') {
    boolDefs.push({ name: rawKey.split('#')[0], rawKey, nodeIdSuffix: rawKey.split('#')[1] || null });
  }
}

const variantAxes = [];
for (const [rawKey, def] of Object.entries(propDefs)) {
  if (def.type === 'VARIANT') {
    variantAxes.push({ name: rawKey.split('#')[0], options: def.variantOptions || [] });
  }
}

const defaultVariant = node.defaultVariant || node.children[0];
const defaultVProps = defaultVariant.variantProperties || {};

const boolLayerReport = [];

for (const bd of boolDefs) {
  if (!bd.nodeIdSuffix) {
    boolLayerReport.push({ name: bd.name, resolved: false, reason: 'No nodeId suffix in rawKey' });
    continue;
  }

  const layerInDefault = await (async () => {
    try {
      const lid = defaultVariant.id.split(';')[0] + ';' + bd.nodeIdSuffix;
      const ln = await figma.getNodeByIdAsync(lid);
      return ln ? ln.name : null;
    } catch { return null; }
  })();

  if (layerInDefault) {
    boolLayerReport.push({ name: bd.name, layerFoundInDefault: true, layerName: layerInDefault });
    continue;
  }

  let foundInVariant = null;
  for (const child of node.children) {
    const vp = child.variantProperties || {};
    try {
      const lid = child.id.split(';')[0] + ';' + bd.nodeIdSuffix;
      const ln = await figma.getNodeByIdAsync(lid);
      if (ln) {
        const diffAxis = {};
        for (const [k, v] of Object.entries(vp)) {
          if (defaultVProps[k] !== v) diffAxis[k] = v;
        }
        foundInVariant = { variantProps: vp, diffFromDefault: diffAxis, layerName: ln.name };
        break;
      }
    } catch {}
  }

  boolLayerReport.push({
    name: bd.name,
    layerFoundInDefault: false,
    foundInVariant,
    reason: foundInVariant ? 'Layer only exists under different variant axis values' : 'Layer not found in any variant'
  });
}

// --- Interpret variant-gating deterministically ---
const interpretedBooleans = boolLayerReport.map(entry => {
  const result = { name: entry.name, requiredVariantOverrides: null, layerName: entry.layerName || null };
  if (!entry.layerFoundInDefault && entry.foundInVariant) {
    result.requiredVariantOverrides = entry.foundInVariant.diffFromDefault;
    result.layerName = entry.foundInVariant.layerName;
  }
  return result;
});

return { boolLayerReport, interpretedBooleans, variantAxes };

How the agent should use this data:

The script now returns an interpretedBooleans array alongside the raw boolLayerReport. Each entry in interpretedBooleans contains:

  • name: the boolean's clean name
  • requiredVariantOverrides: an object like { "Behavior": "Interactive" } if the boolean is variant-gated, or null if it works on the default variant
  • layerName: the resolved layer name

For each boolean in interpretedBooleans:

  • requiredVariantOverrides === null — No action needed. The boolean works on the default variant. Render normally in 6b.
  • requiredVariantOverrides is an object — The boolean is variant-gated. Store the requiredVariantOverrides on the boolean entry from Step 4's booleanProps. In 6b, use these overrides when looking up the base variant for instance creation. The description should note the dependency (e.g., "Requires Behavior = Interactive").

No AI reasoning is needed — the script has already resolved which booleans are variant-gated and what overrides they require.

Step 4b: Detect Variable Mode Properties

Some component properties (e.g., shape, density) are controlled via Figma variable modes at the container level, not per-instance. These do not appear in componentPropertyDefinitions and will be missed by the extraction script above.

Call figma_get_variables with format: "summary" to get a lightweight overview of all variable collections in the file. Look for collections whose names contain the component name or common mode-property keywords:

  • "[ComponentName] shape" — e.g., "Button shape" with modes like Rectangular, Rounded
  • "[ComponentName] density" or "Density" — e.g., "Button density" with modes like Default, Compact, Spacious

For each matching collection, extract:

  • Property name: Derive from the collection name (e.g., "Button shape" → shape, "Density" → density)
  • Options: The mode names in the collection (e.g., ["Rectangular", "Rounded"])
  • Default value: The mode named "Default" or "default" if one exists; otherwise the first mode
  • Collection name: The full collection name for the annotation note
  • Collection ID: The id field of the collection (e.g., "VariableCollectionId:6028:44006") — needed to apply modes via setExplicitVariableModeForCollection
  • Modes: An array of { modeId, name } objects for each mode — needed to apply the correct mode per preview instance

Store these as a variableModeProps array alongside variantAxes and booleanProps:

variableModeProps: [
  {
    name: "shape",
    options: ["Rectangular", "Rounded"],
    defaultValue: "Rectangular",
    collectionName: "Button shape",
    collectionId: "VariableCollectionId:1234:5678",
    modes: [{ modeId: "1234:0", name: "Rectangular" }, { modeId: "1234:1", name: "Rounded" }]
  },
  {
    name: "density",
    options: ["Default", "Compact", "Spacious"],
    defaultValue: "Default",
    collectionName: "Button density",
    collectionId: "VariableCollectionId:6028:44006",
    modes: [{ modeId: "6028:0", name: "Default" }, { modeId: "6028:1", name: "Compact" }, { modeId: "6028:2", name: "Spacious" }]
  }
]

If no matching collections are found, set variableModeProps to an empty array and proceed.

Step 4c: Discover Local Child Component Properties

Some components contain nested child instances (e.g., a Button inside a Section Heading) that have their own configurable properties. These are not captured by the parent's componentPropertyDefinitions. This step walks the default variant's children recursively to find local child components and extract their properties.

Run this script via figma_execute, replacing TARGET_NODE_ID with the actual node ID. Pass the parent's booleanProps array (from Step 4) as PARENT_BOOLEANS so the script can resolve controlling boolean linkage deterministically:

const TARGET_NODE_ID = '__NODE_ID__';
const PARENT_BOOLEANS = __PARENT_BOOLEANS_JSON__;

const node = await figma.getNodeByIdAsync(TARGET_NODE_ID);
if (!node || (node.type !== 'COMPONENT_SET' && node.type !== 'COMPONENT')) {
  return { error: 'Node is not a component set or component.' };
}

const isComponentSet = node.type === 'COMPONENT_SET';
const defaultVariant = isComponentSet ? (node.defaultVariant || node.children[0]) : node;

const childComponents = [];

async function walkForInstances(container) {
  for (const child of container.children) {
    if (child.type === 'INSTANCE') {
      try {
        const mainComp = await child.getMainComponentAsync();
        if (!mainComp) continue;

        const parent = mainComp.parent;
        const isLocalComponentSet = parent && parent.type === 'COMPONENT_SET';

        const sourceNode = isLocalComponentSet ? parent : mainComp;
        const propDefs = sourceNode.componentPropertyDefinitions || {};

        const variantAxes = [];
        const booleanProps = [];
        const instanceSwapProps = [];

        for (const [rawKey, def] of Object.entries(propDefs)) {
          const cleanKey = rawKey.split('#')[0];
          if (def.type === 'VARIANT') {
            variantAxes.push({
              name: cleanKey,
              options: def.variantOptions || [],
              defaultValue: def.defaultValue
            });
          } else if (def.type === 'BOOLEAN') {
            booleanProps.push({
              name: cleanKey,
              defaultValue: def.defaultValue,
              rawKey
            });
          } else if (def.type === 'INSTANCE_SWAP') {
            instanceSwapProps.push({
              name: cleanKey,
              defaultValue: def.defaultValue,
              rawKey
            });
          }
        }

        if (variantAxes.length === 0 && booleanProps.length === 0 && instanceSwapProps.length === 0) continue;

        childComponents.push({
          name: child.name,
          mainComponentName: mainComp.name,
          mainComponentSetId: isLocalComponentSet ? parent.id : null,
          mainComponentId: mainComp.id,
          isComponentSet: isLocalComponentSet,
          variantAxes,
          booleanProps,
          instanceSwapProps,
          visible: child.visible
        });
      } catch {}
    } else if ('children' in child && child.type !== 'INSTANCE') {
      await walkForInstances(child);
    }
  }
}

await walkForInstances(defaultVariant);

// --- Boolean linkage: resolve which parent boolean controls each hidden child ---
const controllingBooleanNames = [];

for (const child of childComponents) {
  child.controllingBooleanName = null;
  child.controllingBooleanRawKey = null;

  if (child.visible) continue;

  // Primary: resolve rawKey#nodeId to layer name match
  for (const pb of PARENT_BOOLEANS) {
    const nodeIdSuffix = pb.rawKey.split('#')[1];
    if (!nodeIdSuffix) continue;
    try {
      const lid = defaultVariant.id.split(';')[0] + ';' + nodeIdSuffix;
      const layerNode = await figma.getNodeByIdAsync(lid);
      if (layerNode && layerNode.name === child.name) {
        child.controllingBooleanName = pb.name;
        child.controllingBooleanRawKey = pb.rawKey;
        break;
      }
    } catch {}
  }

  // Fallback: deterministic normalized name containment
  if (!child.controllingBooleanName) {
    const normChild = child.name.toLowerCase().replace(/[^a-z0-9]/g, '');
    for (const pb of PARENT_BOOLEANS) {
      const normBool = pb.name.toLowerCase().replace(/[^a-z0-9]/g, '');
      if (normChild.includes(normBool) || normBool.includes(normChild)) {
        child.controllingBooleanName = pb.name;
        child.controllingBooleanRawKey = pb.rawKey;
        break;
      }
    }
  }

  if (child.controllingBooleanName) {
    controllingBooleanNames.push(child.controllingBooleanName);
  }
}

return { childComponents, controllingBooleanNames };

Replace __PARENT_BOOLEANS_JSON__ with the booleanProps array from Step 4 (e.g., [{"name":"Trailing content","defaultValue":false,"rawKey":"Trailing content#6051:1","associatedLayer":"trailingContent v2"}]).

Save the returned childComponents array and controllingBooleanNames array. Each child entry now contains:

  • name: the layer name in the parent (e.g., "trailingContent v2")
  • mainComponentName: the source component name (e.g., "Content=Button (text)")
  • mainComponentSetId or mainComponentId: for creating instances
  • isComponentSet: whether it is a multi-variant component set
  • variantAxes, booleanProps, instanceSwapProps: its own properties
  • visible: whether it is visible by default in the parent
  • controllingBooleanName: the clean name of the parent boolean that controls this child's visibility, or null if none found
  • controllingBooleanRawKey: the full raw key for setProperties(), or null

The controllingBooleanNames array contains all matched boolean names — these are skipped in 6b (not rendered as standalone boolean chapters).

If childComponents is empty, proceed — there are no local child components to exhibit.

Step 4d: Normalize Child Properties (Deterministic Script)

This is a deterministic data-processing step — no Figma calls needed. Run the following script via figma_execute, passing in the extracted data from Steps 4, 4c. It performs all four sub-analyses (coupled axes, container-gated booleans, unified slots, sibling booleans) and returns the full normalization plan.

Replace __PARENT_VARIANT_AXES_JSON__ with the variantAxes array from Step 4, __CHILD_COMPONENTS_JSON__ with the childComponents array from Step 4c, and __CONTROLLING_BOOLEAN_NAMES_JSON__ with the controllingBooleanNames array from Step 4c:

const PARENT_AXES = __PARENT_VARIANT_AXES_JSON__;
const CHILDREN = __CHILD_COMPONENTS_JSON__;
const CONTROLLING_BOOL_NAMES = __CONTROLLING_BOOLEAN_NAMES_JSON__;

// --- 4d-i: Detect coupled axes ---
for (const child of CHILDREN) {
  for (const axis of child.variantAxes) {
    axis.coupled = false;
    for (const pAxis of PARENT_AXES) {
      if (axis.name.toLowerCase() === pAxis.name.toLowerCase()) {
        const childSet = new Set(axis.options.map(o => o.toLowerCase()));
        const parentSet = new Set(pAxis.options.map(o => o.toLowerCase()));
        const isSubset = [...childSet].every(o => parentSet.has(o));
        if (isSubset) { axis.coupled = true; break; }
      }
    }
  }
}

// --- 4d-ii/iii: Container-gated booleans + unified slot chapters ---
const unifiedSlotChapters = [];
const unifiedSubBooleanNames = [];

function shortName(boolName, containerName) {
  const prefixWords = containerName.toLowerCase().split(/\s+/);
  const boolWords = boolName.split(/\s+/);
  let stripped = boolWords.filter(w => !prefixWords.includes(w.toLowerCase()));
  if (stripped.length === 0) stripped = boolWords;
  return stripped.join(' ');
}

function stripVerbs(name) {
  return name.replace(/^(Show|Has|With|Enable|Toggle|Display)\s+/i, '');
}

for (const child of CHILDREN) {
  if (!child.controllingBooleanName || child.booleanProps.length === 0) continue;

  const subBools = child.booleanProps;
  const containerBoolName = child.controllingBooleanName;
  const containerBoolRawKey = child.controllingBooleanRawKey;

  const combos = [];
  combos.push({ label: 'None', containerOn: false, subValues: {} });

  if (subBools.length <= 5) {
    const count = subBools.length;
    const total = 1 << count;
    const comboEntries = [];
    for (let mask = 1; mask < total; mask++) {

Save the returned data. The script produces:

  • childComponents — Updated with coupled: true flags on child variant axes that mirror parent axes (4d-i). In Step 9 (6e-i), skip axes where coupled === true.
  • unifiedSlotChapters — Array of chapter entries for container + sub-boolean combinations (4d-ii/iii). Each entry has chapterName, childName, containerBoolName, containerBoolRawKey, subBooleans, previewCombinations, and defaultLabel. Rendered in 6f.
  • unifiedSubBooleanNames — Array of sub-boolean names consumed by unified slot chapters. These are skipped in 6e-ii.
  • siblingBoolChapters — Array of chapter entries for sibling boolean combinations (4d-iv). Each entry has chapterName, childName, booleans, previewCombinations, and defaultLabel. Rendered in 6g.
  • siblingBoolNames — Array of boolean names consumed by sibling boolean chapters. These are skipped in 6e-ii.

Label generation rules (handled by the script):

  • Sub-boolean short names are derived by stripping the common prefix shared with the container name, plus common verbs ("Show", "Has", "With", "Enable", "Toggle", "Display")
  • "None" = container off (unified) or all booleans off (sibling)
  • Multi-on combos are joined with " + "
  • Default label is computed from actual boolean default values

Combination cap (handled by the script): Power sets with more than 5-6 entries are capped to the most meaningful combinations (individually-on states, plus the all-on state).

Graceful fallback: If a child has only 1 remaining boolean after filtering (not consumed by unified slots), it is NOT added to siblingBoolChapters — it stays as a standard boolean chapter rendered in 6e-ii.

Step 4e: AI Validation and Exhibit Planning

After all deterministic extraction is complete (Steps 4–4d), perform AI validation and exhibit planning. Follow the Data Validation and Exhibit Planning sections in the instruction file (agent-property-instruction.md).

This step has two phases: Phase A (Data Validation) corrects the extraction data, Phase B (Exhibit Planning) plans what to render and how. Do NOT rely on visual inspection (Step 10) as the primary safety net — this step is the designated reasoning layer.

Context axis identification — As the first action in Phase B, follow the "Identify context axes" section in the instruction file. Evaluate each variant axis against the heuristics and select 0–1 context axes (rarely 2). Store the result as contextAxis:

contextAxis: { name: "variant", options: ["primary", "subtle"], defaultValue: "primary" }
// or null if no axis qualifies

When contextAxis is non-null:

  • The context axis's own exhibit plan entry is presentation: "illustrate" with template: "6a" (standard, non-contextual). This gives engineers a dedicated reference for the axis options.
  • All other "illustrate" entries use contextual templates (6a-ctx instead of 6a, 6b-ctx instead of 6b).
  • Composite chapters use the context rowGroup pattern (see 6a-ctx).
  • The briefDescription should mention the context axis (e.g., "…available in primary and subtle variants").

Produce the exhibitPlan array and contextAxis as documented in the instruction file. Also compose the briefDescription string for the spec header.

After validation and planning, proceed to the pre-render audit.

Step 5: Audit

Re-read the instruction file (agent-property-instruction.md), focusing on:

  • Pre-Render Validation Checklist — walk through every item
  • Common Mistakes section
  • Do NOT section

Check the exhibit plan and corrected data against each rule. Fix any violations before rendering.

Step 6: Navigate to Destination

If the user provided a separate destination file URL:

  • figma_navigate — Switch to the destination file

If no destination was provided, stay in the current file.

Step 7: Import and Detach Template

If the user provided a cross-file destination URL (navigated in Step 6), run via figma_execute:

const PROPERTY_TEMPLATE_KEY = '__PROPERTY_TEMPLATE_KEY__';

const templateComponent = await figma.importComponentByKeyAsync(PROPERTY_TEMPLATE_KEY);
const instance = templateComponent.createInstance();
const { x, y } = figma.viewport.center;
instance.x = x - instance.width / 2;
instance.y = y - instance.height / 2;
const frame = instance.detachInstance();
frame.name = '__COMPONENT_NAME__ Properties';
figma.currentPage.selection = [frame];
figma.viewport.scrollAndZoomIntoView([frame]);
return { frameId: frame.id };

If no destination was provided (default), run via figma_execute — this places the spec on the component's page, to its right:

const PROPERTY_TEMPLATE_KEY = '__PROPERTY_TEMPLATE_KEY__';
const COMP_NODE_ID = '__COMPONENT_NODE_ID__';

const compNode = await figma.getNodeByIdAsync(COMP_NODE_ID);
let _p = compNode;
while (_p.parent && _p.parent.type !== 'DOCUMENT') _p = _p.parent;
if (_p.type === 'PAGE') await figma.setCurrentPageAsync(_p);

const templateComponent = await figma.importComponentByKeyAsync(PROPERTY_TEMPLATE_KEY);
const instance = templateComponent.createInstance();
const frame = instance.detachInstance();

const GAP = 200;
frame.x = compNode.x + compNode.width + GAP;
frame.y = compNode.y;

frame.name = '__COMPONENT_NAME__ Properties';
figma.currentPage.selection = [frame];
figma.viewport.scrollAndZoomIntoView([frame]);
return { frameId: frame.id, pageId: _p.id, pageName: _p.name };

Replace __COMPONENT_NAME__ with the extracted componentName. Replace __COMPONENT_NODE_ID__ with the node ID extracted from the component URL (same as TARGET_NODE_ID from Step 4).

Save the returned frameId.

Step 8: Fill Header Fields

Run via figma_execute (replace __FRAME_ID__, __COMPONENT_NAME__, __BRIEF_DESCRIPTION__). Replace __BRIEF_DESCRIPTION__ with the briefDescription composed during Step 4e:

const frame = await figma.getNodeByIdAsync('__FRAME_ID__');
const textNodes = frame.findAll(n => n.type === 'TEXT');
const fontSet = new Set();
const fontsToLoad = [];
for (const tn of textNodes) {
  try {
    const fn = tn.fontName;
    if (fn && fn !== figma.mixed && fn.family) {
      const key = fn.family + '|' + fn.style;
      if (!fontSet.has(key)) { fontSet.add(key); fontsToLoad.push(fn); }
    }
  } catch {}
}
await Promise.all(fontsToLoad.map(f => figma.loadFontAsync(f).catch(() => {})));

const compNameFrame = frame.findOne(n => n.name === '#comp-name-anatomy');
if (compNameFrame) {
  const t = compNameFrame.findOne(n => n.type === 'TEXT');
  if (t) t.characters = '__COMPONENT_NAME__';
}

const descFrame = frame.findOne(n => n.name === '#brief-component-description');
if (descFrame) {
  const t = descFrame.findOne(n => n.type === 'TEXT');
  if (t) t.characters = '__BRIEF_DESCRIPTION__';
}

const markerExample = frame.findOne(n => n.name === '#marker-example');
if (markerExample) markerExample.visible = false;

return { success: true };

Step 9: Build Property Exhibits

This is the main rendering step. Iterate over the exhibitPlan array produced in Step 4e. Each entry specifies the chapter type, rendering mode, and configuration. Do NOT mechanically iterate variantAxes then booleanProps — the exhibit plan already accounts for matrix chapters, composite chapters, and context axis rendering.

Template routing based on contextAxis:

Exhibit typecontextAxis is nullcontextAxis is non-null
Variant axis chapter6a (standard)6a-ctx (contextual rows)
Boolean chapter6b (standard)6b-ctx (contextual rows)
Composite chapter6a (custom OPTIONS)6a-ctx (custom OPTIONS + context rows)
Sparse matrix6a-matrix6a-matrix (unchanged)
Variable mode6c6c (unchanged)
Child component6e/6f/6g6e/6f/6g (unchanged)

When contextAxis is non-null, pass CONTEXT_AXIS_NAME, CONTEXT_OPTIONS, and CONTEXT_DEFAULT to the contextual templates. These values come from the contextAxis object produced in Step 4e.

Run one figma_execute call per exhibit to avoid timeouts. The scripts below are templates — select the appropriate template based on each exhibit entry's template field.

6a: Standard VARIANT axis chapter

For exhibit plan entries with template: "6a" (when contextAxis is null). Also used for composite entries without context — supply a customized OPTIONS array and DEFAULT_PROPS as determined by the exhibit plan:

6a-ctx: Contextual VARIANT axis chapter

The template adds an outer loop over context axis values, rendering grouped rows inside a vertical container frame. Each row group has a row label and a horizontal instance row.

Key differences from 6a:

  • Outer loop over CONTEXT_OPTIONS creates row groups with labels
  • A contextContainer frame inside #preview handles vertical stacking (avoids modifying #preview properties)
  • variantProps sets both PROPERTY_NAME and CONTEXT_AXIS_NAME for each instance
  • Variant lookup requires both the property AND context axis to match, with fallback scoring
  • Row labels use Bold/12px to distinguish from option labels (Medium/14px)
  • N/A placeholders appear when a context × option combination doesn't exist

Composite chapters with context: When a composite chapter (variant axis + related booleans) needs context rendering, use the same 6a-ctx structure. The OPTIONS loop creates instances with custom property combinations (as in the standard composite approach), and the outer CONTEXT_OPTIONS loop wraps everything in context rows. For each composite option, set the variant properties AND the boolean properties on the instance, then also set CONTEXT_AXIS_NAME = ctxValue.

6a-matrix: For a SPARSE VARIANT MATRIX chapter

When the exhibit plan (Step 4e) identified a sparse axis pair, render a matrix chapter plus standalone chapters for both axes. The matrix's primary axis forms the rows, the secondary axis forms the columns. Missing combinations get "N/A" placeholders that occupy the same cell space as real instances for visual alignment. The standalone chapters (6a) give engineers a dedicated reference for each axis in isolation; the matrix shows which cross-product combinations exist.

Grid layout technique: The matrix uses absolute positioning inside a non-auto-layout child frame, nested within the template's #preview frame. This prevents auto-layout from collapsing or misaligning cells when "N/A" placeholders are smaller than real instances.

N/A placeholder rule: Always render "N/A" text for missing combinations. Never skip the cell or leave it empty — the placeholder preserves the grid's visual scanability and lets the spec consumer immediately see which combinations don't exist.

Cell sizing: Measure a real instance before building the grid. Use the measured dimensions + padding as the fixed cell size. All cells (instance and N/A) use the same width to maintain column alignment.

6b: Standard BOOLEAN property chapter

For exhibit plan entries with template: "6b" (when contextAxis is null).

Skip controlling booleans: Before rendering each parent boolean, check if its name appears in the controllingBooleanNames set built in Step 4c. If so, skip it — its chapter is produced by 6e as part of the unified child component chapter.

Handle variant-gated booleans: Before rendering, check if the boolean has requiredVariantOverrides (from Step 4a). If so, the base variant for instance creation must match those overrides instead of using the default variant. Replace VARIANT_OVERRIDES with the required overrides object (e.g., {"Behavior": "Interactive"}), or null if the boolean is not variant-gated.

Slot-aware descriptions: Replace __CONTROLS_SLOT_BOOL__ with the boolean's controlsSlot value (true or false). Replace __SLOT_PREFERRED_NAMES_JSON__ with the boolean's slotPreferredNames array (e.g., ["Checkbox", "Radio"]), or [] if empty. When a boolean controls a SLOT, the description reads "Controls slot: {name} (accepts: {preferred})" instead of "Controls layer: {name}".

Key differences from 6b:

  • Outer loop over CONTEXT_OPTIONS creates row groups with labels
  • Base variant lookup includes CONTEXT_AXIS_NAME = ctxValue in the target props
  • When no base variant exists for a context value (sparse), the row shows "Not available for {ctxValue}" instead of failing
  • Same contextContainerrowGroupinstanceRow nesting as 6a-ctx

6c: For each VARIABLE MODE property

If variableModeProps is not empty, render a visual chapter for each. Variable mode properties are controlled via Figma variable modes at the container level. To produce visual previews, create a wrapper frame for each mode option, place a component instance inside, and call wrapper.setExplicitVariableModeForCollection(collection, modeId) on the wrapper so the instance inherits the mode.

Important — collection object, not string ID: The Figma plugin API in incremental mode requires the actual collection object for setExplicitVariableModeForCollection, not a string ID. The script below fetches the collection object via getLocalVariableCollectionsAsync().

Important — clearing baked-in modes: Some components have explicit variable modes set directly on their root or internal nodes. Instances created from such components inherit these baked-in modes, which override the wrapper's mode. After creating each instance, the script recursively clears explicit modes for the target collection so the instance defers to the wrapper.

For each variable mode property, run via figma_execute:

const FRAME_ID = '__FRAME_ID__';

const PROPERTY_NAME = '__PROPERTY_NAME__';
const DEFAULT_VALUE = '__DEFAULT_VALUE__';

6e: For each CHILD COMPONENT

If childComponents from Step 4c is not empty, render chapters for each child component.

Rendering mode selection: The preferred approach is in-context rendering — creating parent component instances with the child's property varied on the nested instance. This shows the child property in the context of the full parent component, which matches the designer's experience.

However, use blown-out rendering (isolated sub-component instances created directly from the child's component set) when any of these conditions apply:

  • The child was flagged for blown-out rendering in Step 4e (sparse variant matrix, interdependent constraints)
  • setProperties() on a nested instance fails at runtime (fallback — catch the error, remove the broken chapter, and re-render blown-out)
  • Multiple identical child instances exist in the parent (e.g., 4 buttons in a button group) — deduplicate to one blown-out child entry
  • The user explicitly requests blown-out views

When blown-out rendering is used, create instances directly from the child's mainComponentSetId component set using findVariant() to locate the exact variant, rather than modifying nested instances. See 6e-iii for the blown-out script template.

Important: Run one figma_execute call per child component (covering its variant axes chapter). If the child also has boolean properties, run a second call for the boolean chapters. This prevents timeouts.

6e-i: Child variant axes (with optional off state)

Skip coupled axes: Before rendering each child variant axis, check if the axis has coupled === true (set in Step 4d-i). If so, skip it entirely — it mirrors the parent axis and adds no information.

For each remaining child component variant axis, run via figma_execute. When the child has a controllingBooleanName, the first preview shows the "off" state (controlling boolean = false), and subsequent previews show each variant option (controlling boolean = true, child variant swapped). When there is no controlling boolean, only the variant options are shown.

Replace placeholders with extracted data. Set CONTROLLING_BOOL_RAW_KEY to null if no controlling boolean was found.

6e-iii: Blown-out child rendering (direct sub-component instances)

When blown-out rendering is selected (per the conditions in 6e), create instances directly from the child's component set rather than modifying nested instances in a parent. This approach is immune to sparse variant matrices and nested-instance property access issues.

For each child variant axis (non-coupled), run via figma_execute. Replace __SUB_COMP_SET_ID__ with the child's mainComponentSetId:

const FRAME_ID = '__FRAME_ID__';
const SUB_COMP_SET_ID = '__SUB_COMP_SET_ID__';
const CHAPTER_NAME = '__CHAPTER_NAME__';
const AXIS_NAME = '__AXIS_NAME__';
const OPTIONS = __OPTIONS_JSON__;
const DEFAULT_VALUE = '__DEFAULT_VALUE__';
const BASE_PROPS = __BASE_PROPS_JSON__;
const DESCRIPTION = '__DESCRIPTION__';
const FONT_FAMILY = '__FONT_FAMILY__';

// ... page-loading block (see MCP Adapter) ...

const frame = await figma.getNodeByIdAsync(FRAME_ID);
const subCompSet = await figma.getNodeByIdAsync(SUB_COMP_SET_ID);

function findVariant(compSet, targetProps) {
  let best = null;
  let bestScore = -1;
  for (const child of compSet.children) {
    const vp = child.variantProperties || {};
    let score = 0;
    let exact = true;
    for (const [k, v] of Object.entries(targetProps)) {
      if (vp[k] === v) score++;
      else exact = false;
    }
    if (exact) return child;
    if (score > bestScore) { bestScore = score; best = child; }
  }
  return best;
}

// ... clone #anatomy-section, set section name/description, clear #preview (same pattern as 6a) ...

for (const option of OPTIONS) {
  const targetProps = { ...BASE_PROPS };
  targetProps[AXIS_NAME] = option;

  const variant = findVariant(subCompSet, targetProps);
  // ... create wrapper, create instance from variant, add label (same pattern as 6a) ...
}

BASE_PROPS should contain the default values for all OTHER variant axes of the sub-component (e.g., { layout: 'icon+label', size: 'medium', variant: 'primary', isDisabled: 'false', isSelected: 'true' }). When a constrainedBy note exists from 3e (e.g., isDisabled requires isSelected=true), incorporate that constraint into BASE_PROPS.

For child boolean properties in blown-out mode, create an instance from the sub-component's default variant and call inst.setProperties({ [rawKey]: boolValue }) directly on the instance (not nested). Boolean setProperties on a direct instance is reliable since it doesn't change the variant combination.

For sibling boolean combinatorial chapters in blown-out mode, follow the same pattern: create a direct instance and call setProperties() with the boolean raw keys for each combination.

6f: Unified slot chapters (combinatorial previews)

If unifiedSlotChapters from Step 4d-iii is not empty, render one chapter per entry. Each chapter shows the meaningful combinations of the container boolean + its sub-booleans as a single visual exhibit.

Blown-out adaptation: If the child referenced by a unified slot chapter has blownOut: true, replace the in-context rendering pattern (parent instance + findNestedChild + setProperties on nested instance) with the blown-out pattern from 6e-iii: create instances directly from the child's mainComponentSetId and call setProperties() for the boolean combinations on the direct instance. The container boolean on/off toggle is still meaningful — for the "None" state, simply omit the instance (or show a placeholder text "Hidden").

For each unified slot chapter, run via figma_execute:

const FRAME_ID = '__FRAME_ID__';
const COMP_SET_ID = '__COMP_SET_NODE_ID__';
const CHILD_NAME = '__CHILD_LAYER_NAME__';
const CHAPTER_NAME = '__CHAPTER_NAME__';

If siblingBoolChapters from Step 4d-iv is not empty, render one chapter per entry. Each chapter shows the meaningful combinations of sibling booleans on the same child component as a single visual exhibit.

Blown-out adaptation: If the child has blownOut: true, use the blown-out pattern from 6e-iii: create instances directly from the child's mainComponentSetId and call setProperties() with the boolean combinations on the direct instance (no parent wrapper, no findNestedChild).

For each sibling boolean chapter, run via figma_execute:

const FRAME_ID = '__FRAME_ID__';
const COMP_SET_ID = '__COMP_SET_NODE_ID__';
const CHILD_NAME = '__CHILD_LAYER_NAME__';
const CHAPTER_NAME = '__CHAPTER_NAME__';
const DEFAULT_LABEL = '__DEFAULT_LABEL__';
const PREVIEW_COMBINATIONS = __PREVIEW_COMBINATIONS_JSON__;
const FONT_FAMILY = '__FONT_FAMILY__';

      const fn = tn.fontName;
      if (fn && fn !== figma.mixed && fn.family) {
        const key = fn.family + '|' + fn.style;
        if (!fontSet.has(key)) { fontSet.add(key); fontsToLoad.push(fn); }
      }
    } catch {}
  }
  await Promise.all(fontsToLoad.map(f => figma.loadFontAsync(f).catch(() => {})));
}

async function loadFontWithFallback(family, preferredStyle, fallbackStyle) {
  fallbackStyle = fallbackStyle || 'Regular';
  const allFonts = await figma.listAvailableFontsAsync();
  const familyFonts = allFonts.filter(f => f.fontName.family === family);
  const match = familyFonts.find(f => f.fontName.style === preferredStyle);

  return { error: e.message, rolledBack: true };
}

Replace __COMP_SET_NODE_ID__ with the parent component's compSetNodeId. Replace __CHAPTER_NAME__ with the chapterName from the sibling boolean chapter entry (e.g., "Label"). Replace __CHILD_LAYER_NAME__ with the child's layer name. Replace __PREVIEW_COMBINATIONS_JSON__ with the previewCombinations array. Replace __DEFAULT_LABEL__ with the defaultLabel value.

6d: Clean up

After all properties are rendered (including child component chapters), hide the original #anatomy-section:

const frame = await figma.getNodeByIdAsync('__FRAME_ID__');
const chapterTemplate = frame.findOne(n => n.name === '#anatomy-section');
if (chapterTemplate) chapterTemplate.visible = false;
return { success: true };

Step 10: Visual Validation

  1. figma_take_screenshot with the frameId — Capture the completed annotation
  2. Verify:
    • Each variant axis has a section with instance previews for every option
    • Each boolean has a section showing on/off states (excluding controlling booleans merged into child chapters, and sibling booleans collapsed into combinatorial chapters)
    • Each variable mode property has a section with visual instance previews per mode
    • Each child component chapter shows the child property varied — either as in-context parent instances or as blown-out sub-component instances (see 6e for mode selection criteria). Verify the chosen mode matches the conditions.
    • Child chapters with a controlling boolean include an "off" state labeled "No {booleanName}" as the first preview (in-context mode only)
    • Labels indicate defaults
    • Component instances render correctly
    • Child component chapter titles use the controllingBooleanName (e.g., "Trailing content") rather than the raw layer name (e.g., "trailingContent v2") when a controlling boolean exists. If a title shows an internal layer name (camelCase, version suffixes like "v2"), rename the chapter and its #section-name text to use the controlling boolean name instead.
    • All preview items fit within the preview area without being clipped. Wrapping is always enabled, but if items are still too wide for a single row even individually, reduce itemSpacing or check that instances are not unexpectedly large.
    • When contextAxis is non-null: each illustrated chapter shows grouped rows per context value, with row labels. Row labels use the context value name, with "(default)" appended to the default value. The context axis itself has NO standalone chapter.
  3. If issues are found, fix via figma_execute and re-capture (up to 3 iterations)

Step 11: Completion Link

Print a clickable Figma URL to the completed spec in chat. Construct the URL from the fileKey (extracted from the user's input URL) and the frameId (returned by Step 7), replacing : with - in the node ID:

Property spec complete: https://www.figma.com/design/{fileKey}/?node-id={frameId}
