get_design_context

Read the variables, styles and components already in the Figma file before generating.

Returns the design system that already exists in the file: local variables with their value per mode (colours as hex, aliases as {Collection/Name}), paint, text and effect styles, the font families those styles use, the components on the current page with their variant properties, and any design system confirmed via propose_design_system. Call it first so the AI reuses these values — writing var(--token) or the exact values — instead of inventing new colours, sizes and fonts. Each section is capped at 300 entries. The result opens with design guidance: design principles (spacing and type scales, colour restraint, realistic copy, what to avoid), the brand brief you wrote in the plugin's Settings → Design, and a starter token set when the file has no variables or styles yet (those the plugin generated from earlier renders don't count).

Parameters

NameTypeRequiredDescription
includestring[]OptionalSections to read: any of "variables", "styles", "components". Default: all three.

Example prompt

Try asking: Check the design system in this file, then build a settings page that uses our existing tokens and components.

Tips

  • Call it at the start of a session on any file that already has a design system.
  • Limit include to the sections you need on very large files.
  • Variables are returned per mode, so light and dark themes both stay consistent.
