figma
Import Figma content into a HyperFrames composition — rendered assets, brand tokens, components, storyboard sections → reconstructed motion (frames read as states, not slides) (REST/CLI), connector-assisted motion when available, and shaders from a connector or native export. Use when the user paste

Figma → HyperFrames
Every import happens at build time and freezes a local file with its source recorded under .media/ , so renders never call Figma and re running a command re imports only what changed. Assets, tokens and components go over REST with a token; motion and shader data need a Figma connector, or a native export from the person.
Access
FIGMA TOKEN in the shell or the project .env . Check it exists before the first command; if not, tell the person how to make one and stop: figma.com → Settings → Security → Personal access tokens, read only File content and File metadata , plus Library content for tokens on non Enterprise plans. They set it themselves; never ask them to paste it into the chat.
Error Meaning
BAD TOKEN (401) Expired or revoked: make a new one
FORBIDDEN (403) The message names the missing scope, or the file isn't visible to the account
REQUIRES ENTERPRISE (403, variables) Not a failure: the published styles fallback already ran
RATE LIMITED (429) Already retried with backoff; wait a minute or import fewer nodes per call
Commands
A layer, logo or image: npx hyperframes figma asset '<url or fileKey:nodeId ' [more refs] format svg png scale 2 description "<what it is " [ entity "<brand mark "] . SVG for vectors and logos, PNG at 2x for raster. Several nodes of one file in one call render in a single request; entity lets /media use find a brand mark later.
Brand colours and type: npx hyperframes figma tokens <fileKey . Run it before component and paste the printed entries into data composition variables . Without Enterprise it falls back to published styles. A connector can supply variables there instead: cache its raw response in .media/figma cache/ and write the bindings to .media/figma bindings.jsonl ( {kind:"binding", figmaId, sourceFileKey, compositionVariableId:"figma:<name ", version} ).
A frame as editable HTML at exact geometry: npx hyperframes figma component '<url or fileKey:nodeId ' , packaged under compositions/components/<name / . A fill bound to an imported token comes out as var( slug, literal) , so one variable re brands every import; an unknown token stays a literal marked data figma unresolved : import that library's tokens and re import. Ask once which file a library is; never match by hex.
Check hero components against Figma's pixels ( figma asset <same node format png ). Text drift is the usual cause; report drift you can't fix instead of hand tweaking the import.
Motion (connector)
Usage beacon: these phases have no CLI touchpoint, so run npx hyperframes events skill=figma motion when you begin and npx hyperframes events skill=figma motion event=skill completed outcome=success error when done. Same for shaders ( figma shaders ) and storyboards ( figma storyboard ).
1. Fetch motion context for the parent frame in one recursive request; cache the raw JSON in .media/figma cache/ .
2. Normalise with motionContextToDocs(raw, { selectorFor, repeat }) from @hyperframes/core/figma , never by transcribing keyframes. It reads the motion.dev snippets (the CSS snippets stretch durations), drops loop wrap tail keyframes and keeps bezier eases. selectorFor returns the ids from the component import.
3. motionToGsap(doc) → emitTimelineScript(spec) , injected after the GSAP and CustomEase tags: paused, finite, a literal window. timelines key. Named eases outside the mapped set fall back to linear; say so.
4. Verify against Figma's own export: node <SKILL DIR /scripts/verify motion.mjs reference <export.mp4 render <render.mp4 crop WxH+X+Y . It compares motion between samples, so static drift cancels out, and fails under 15 dB (faithful ≈ 20+, diverging ≈ 5). Measure crop from the render's card edges. A fail means fix the translation, not the threshold.
5. A track that won't translate: export it, freeze the MP4 and place it as <video class="clip" .
Shaders
Figma's export path flattens shaders to their base colour, and shader source is only reachable for library published styles. Ask the person for a native export of that frame (PNG or MP4) and place it as an asset or clip.
Storyboards: frames are KEYFRAMES, not slides
Two frames holding the same element describe that element's state through time: animate the element between the states. Playing the frames back to back as stills is the failure mode.
1. Scenes are every frame sized node in the section, named frames and loose full frame rectangles alike: filter by size, not type or name. Order by absoluteBoundingBox.x .
2. Match children across neighbouring frames by name first, then by similar size and position. Tween geometry between states; crossfade two exports in place when the pixels changed. Export one asset per element, not one still per frame. Unmatched children enter or exit at their scene's beat.
3. Text nodes below the strip are motion notes for the scene above them, not on screen copy. A note about motion inside a scene ("lines reveal one after another") means import that frame as a component and animate it.
4. Export in batches of about 4 scene frames per call: past about 12 ids /v1/images times out.
5. Frames that are one product UI in successive states: rebuild the UI as live DOM: code what changes state, freeze what doesn't, and treat each frame change as an interaction to perform (the cursor moves, clicks, the screen responds), not a tween to apply.
6. Stills are the fallback, only for frames with no shared elements.
Never leave a Figma URL in the composition.
