Triggers when building any UI element in Figma — 'create a card', 'build a nav', 'add a section', 'make a component'. Enforces library-first component lookup, correct Auto Layout structure, and semantic node naming. For visual property binding (colors, text styles, spacing values), defer to figma-style-binding.
Triggers on 'let's start', 'begin', 'preflight', 'start the session', or when a Figma file URL is first shared. Verifies MCP connection, reads CLAUDE.md, audits connected libraries, and loads a Token Map of all Styles and Variables — required before any design work.
Triggers on any visual property change in Figma — creating text, setting colors, adjusting spacing/padding/gap/radius. Enforces that ALL values bind to Figma Styles or Variables, never hardcoded. Includes post-write QA verification.
Triggers when user shares a screenshot, image, URL, or design description — or says 'analyze this', 'make a brief', 'interpret this reference'. Outputs a structured Design Brief mapping visual intent to design system tokens. Waits for 'confirmed' before designing.
