Figma to unity
Implements Figma designs (frames, components, HUD elements, menus) as Unity UI Toolkit interfaces — UXML hierarchy, USS styles mapped to design tokens, exported sprite assets, and a minimal C# controller — using the Figma MCP server (get_design_context, get_metadata, get_screenshot, get_variable_defs). Use when the user provides a Figma URL and wants it implemented in a Unity project, asks to "implement this Figma design in Unity", "build this HUD/menu/component from Figma", "convert Figma to UXML/USS", or mentions figma-to-unity.From its SKILL.md

Figma to Unity (Figma MCP → UI Toolkit)
Translate a Figma design into production-ready Unity UI Toolkit code: UXML for structure, USS for style (wired to the project's design tokens), exported assets with correct import settings, and a thin C# controller. The Figma MCP server output (typically React + Tailwind) is a representation of the design, not final code — always re-express it in UXML/USS following the host project's conventions.
Prerequisites
Verify all three before starting. If one fails, stop and tell the user.
- Figma MCP server connected. Check that Figma MCP tools (e.g.
get_design_context) are available. If not, guide the user to enable the Figma MCP server (included with the Figma desktop app / plugin) and restart their MCP client. - Figma URL with a node id, in the format
https://figma.com/design/:fileKey/:fileName?node-id=1-2. If the URL has nonode-id, ask the user to select the frame/component and copy its link. - Unity project using UI Toolkit. Look for
.uxml/.ussfiles andUIDocumentusage underAssets/. If the project's UI is uGUI (Canvas + TextMeshPro), say so and stop — this skill does not cover uGUI.
Required workflow
Follow these steps in order. Do not skip steps.
Step 1: Extract file key and node ID
From https://figma.com/design/:fileKey/:fileName?node-id=1-2:
- File key: the segment after
/design/ - Node ID: the
node-idquery parameter value (e.g.1461-137)
Step 2: Fetch design context
Run get_design_context(fileKey, nodeId). It returns layout (Auto Layout, constraints, sizing), typography, colors/tokens, component structure, and spacing.
If the response is too large or truncated:
- Run
get_metadata(fileKey, nodeId)to get the high-level node map. - Identify the child nodes you need.
- Fetch each child individually with
get_design_context(fileKey, childNodeId).
Step 3: Capture the visual reference
Run get_screenshot(fileKey, nodeId). This screenshot is the source of truth for visual validation — keep it accessible throughout implementation.
Step 4: Map design tokens to USS variables
Run get_variable_defs(fileKey, nodeId) to retrieve colors, typography, and spacing variables used by the design.
Then locate the project's existing theme/token stylesheet (search for USS files defining --* custom properties, often named Theme.uss, Tokens.uss, or referenced from a .tss theme file):
- Reuse existing tokens first. Map each Figma variable to the closest existing USS variable (
var(--accent),var(--font-size-md), ...). - Add new tokens to the theme stylesheet only when nothing close exists. Name them following the project's convention.
- On conflict (project token value differs from Figma): prefer the project token for consistency, and adjust spacing/sizing minimally to preserve visual fidelity.
- If the project has no token stylesheet, propose creating one rather than hardcoding values across files.
Step 5: Export required assets
Download any images/icons returned by the Figma MCP server into the project's UI art folder (follow the host project's layout, e.g. Assets/Art/UI/<Feature>/ or Assets/UI/<Feature>/Sprites/).
Asset rules:
- If the MCP server returns a
localhostsource for an image or SVG, use that source directly. Do not substitute placeholders and do not import icon packages. - Prefer vector data (SVG, supported by UI Toolkit in Unity 6.2+) for icons when the project already imports SVGs; otherwise export PNG at 2x.
- After import, set Texture Type to Sprite (2D and UI). For panels, frames, and bars that stretch, configure 9-slice borders in the Sprite Editor and use
-unity-slice-*/-unity-background-image-tint-colorin USS as needed. - Decorative gradients and flat shapes usually do not need an asset — recreate them in USS (or a custom
VisualElementwithgenerateVisualContent) instead of exporting a bitmap.
Step 6: Translate to UXML + USS
Build the VisualElement hierarchy in UXML and style it in USS. Key principles:
- Treat the Figma MCP code output (React + Tailwind) as a design spec: read flex direction, padding, gap, radius, colors from it — do not transliterate JSX or Tailwind classes.
- Mirror Figma Auto Layout frames as containers with
flex-direction, and convert gap/padding/sizing per figma-to-uss-mapping.md. Consult that reference for the full property mapping and USS limitations (nogapin most versions, nobox-shadow, noz-index...). - Reuse existing UXML components, USS utility classes, and custom
VisualElements from the project before creating new ones. When a similar component exists, extend it (new USS class/variant) rather than duplicating it. - Name elements (
name="HealthBarFill") only when C# needs to query them; style through classes, not names. - Follow the host project's file layout and naming (e.g. one feature folder containing
Feature.uxml,Feature.uss,FeatureController.cs).
Step 7: Write the minimal C# controller
MonoBehaviourwith a[SerializeField] UIDocument(or follow the project's established UI wiring pattern if it differs).- Query elements once in
OnEnableviaroot.Q<T>("Name"); cache references. - The controller binds data to the view (set
style.width, text, toggle USS classes). No game logic in the view layer, no game logic inVisualElementsubclasses. - Hook into the project's existing data flow (events, view models, ScriptableObject channels) instead of polling in
Updatewhen possible.
Step 8: Validate against the Figma screenshot
Compare the rendered result (Game view / UI Builder preview) with the Step 3 screenshot before marking the task complete:
- Layout matches: spacing, alignment, sizing, element order
- Typography matches: font, size, weight, letter spacing, alignment
- Colors match (through tokens, not hardcoded values)
- Assets render correctly (no stretching artifacts; 9-slice borders correct)
- Interactive states styled where designed (
:hover,:active,:disabled) - Behavior verified with representative data (e.g. bar at 0%, 50%, 100%)
If the user can run the Editor, ask them to confirm visually; otherwise list any known deviations and why.
Rules
- DO prefer project tokens over raw Figma values when they conflict.
- DO reuse existing components, classes, and custom elements before creating new ones.
- DO document any intentional deviation from the Figma design (accessibility, technical constraint) in a short code comment.
- DON'T hardcode a color/size/font when a token exists for it.
- DON'T invent or placeholder assets when the MCP payload provides a source.
- DON'T port Tailwind class names, web-only CSS properties, or React component structure into USS/UXML.
