242 variables added in Figma via Claude Code in 2 seconds Imagine doing this manually lol I built a Figma x Claude Code CLI 🔗👇

Ok. I can attest this is awesome. While the mcp is better for quite a few things, the re are some thing that this solves. I used codex to play with it

Nice! What’s better in the mcp version?

Well the mcp can pretty much build a component I create back to Figma. The cli made a mess out of it. On the other hand, it created variables, semantic and icon components really good.

Did you build the components from scratch or do you have a UI kit? Will try to improve this part. Thanks for sharing

🤔 I was using a figma console mcp but with the new update Figma limit functions in the port that the plugin was working on

Interesting. Here we just use a local port so we should be good

What else it can do with command

Just ask claude code

@grok 帮我分析一下

Awesome, what about Codex support?

Add for design system color palette documentation - automated by Claude.

Huge! This saves hours of painful manual work. Curious how manageable is the variable structure after this? Do aliases stay organized?

That’s a serious time saver! Congrats on the awesome tool, this is next-level automation.

@tomjohndesign It's a bit clunky - but thought you might enjoy using tokens & variables as part of the Figma > Claude workflows

seems promising / not sure exactly what’s the difference between this and mcp - i think this cli has more capabilities eg editing not sure if it’s claude “locked” or not - as a codex user

Quite interesting approach :) will test that, thank you!

No bec i am literally in a phase where claude said i will have to manually create components if this works you’re the goat

I’ll try it. I actually created a Figma plugin to do just that a few days ago:) let me see how your stuff works!

Can set variable values ​​using libraries that are connected to the file ?

Yes or create new ones

now how do you track these 242 variables? do you have a system for that?
