This is the foundation skill for writing Figma Plugin API code through Claude. Load it before every `use_figma` call. It's packed with the sharp edges you'll hit: fonts must be loaded before text edits or you'll get cryptic errors, fills are read-only arrays, pages need async switching, and layout sizing breaks if set before appending. The real value is in the gotchas doc and the modular plugin API references. If you're building full screens from code, pair it with figma-generate-design for the component search and assembly workflow. Work incrementally in small steps, always return node IDs, and never retry immediately on error since failed scripts are atomic.
