Figma Create New File

This is the mandatory first step before creating any new Figma file through Claude. It wraps the create_new_file MCP tool and handles the planKey resolution dance, whether you're spinning up a design file, FigJam board, or Slides deck. The skill parses optional arguments for editor type and file name, figures out which team or org to bill it to (calling whoami if needed), then returns a file_key you can hand off to use_figma. One gotcha worth knowing: Slides files start with a completely empty grid, no default first slide, so your follow-up scripts need to either guard for that or create a slide before trying to read theme tokens or other properties.
