Use when given a Figma URL or node and asked to translate it into MEGA Android Jetpack Compose code, before writing any UI code. Triggers include "implement this Figma", "build this design", "translate Figma to Compose", or any message containing a figma.com link plus a request for Compose / Android UI. Encodes MEGA's Core-UI component mapping, design-token rules, and the rule that existing screens MUST be located before any new code is written.

Figma → MEGA Compose Skill

Translate Figma designs into MEGA Android Jetpack Compose code, reusing Core-UI components and project conventions. Composes on top of figma:figma-implement-design (generic) by adding MEGA-specific knowledge.

When to use

  • User pastes a figma.com/design/... or figma.com/make/... link and asks for Compose / Android code.
  • User says "implement / build / translate this Figma in Compose".

When NOT to use

  • Editing an existing Compose UI without a Figma source → just edit the file.
  • Writing nodes back into Figma → use figma:figma-use.
  • Creating Code Connect mappings → use figma:figma-code-connect.

Required workflow (6 steps — do not skip)

digraph workflow {
    "Figma URL received" [shape=doublecircle];
    "1. Parse fileKey + nodeId" [shape=box];
    "2. get_code_connect_map" [shape=box];
    "3. get_design_context (+ get_metadata if huge)" [shape=box];
    "4. grep repo: does the screen already exist?" [shape=diamond];
    "Propose diff only — do NOT recreate" [shape=box];
    "5. Map every Figma node → Core-UI component (cheatsheet)" [shape=box];
    "6. Output Compose code respecting MEGA constraints" [shape=doublecircle];

    "Figma URL received" -> "1. Parse fileKey + nodeId";
    "1. Parse fileKey + nodeId" -> "2. get_code_connect_map";
    "2. get_code_connect_map" -> "3. get_design_context (+ get_metadata if huge)";
    "3. get_design_context (+ get_metadata if huge)" -> "4. grep repo: does the screen already exist?";
    "4. grep repo: does the screen already exist?" -> "Propose diff only — do NOT recreate" [label="yes"];
    "4. grep repo: does the screen already exist?" -> "5. Map every Figma node → Core-UI component (cheatsheet)" [label="no"];
    "5. Map every Figma node → Core-UI component (cheatsheet)" -> "6. Output Compose code respecting MEGA constraints";
}

Step details:

  1. Parse URL — figma.com/design/:fileKey/:fileName?node-id=N-M → fileKey = :fileKey, nodeId = "N:M" (replace - with :).
  2. get_code_connect_map first — discover which Figma components already map to MEGA Compose. This is cheaper context than full design context and tells you what NOT to re-derive.
  3. get_design_context — pull design + screenshot. If the response is truncated, run get_metadata for the node tree, then get_design_context per child.
  4. CRITICAL — verify the screen does not already exist. Run grep with the Figma title (e.g. "Customise Home"), the implied NavKey name (HomeConfiguration), and obvious keyword patterns under feature/. If found, report the existing file and propose a diff against Figma instead of writing new code.
  5. Map components. For every distinct Figma component in the design, look it up in core-ui-cheatsheet.md. Only consider building a new component when the cheatsheet has no entry AND grep confirms nothing equivalent exists in core-ui modules.
  6. Output Compose code following the MEGA constraints below.

MEGA constraints (non-negotiable)

  • Indentation: 4 spaces, never tabs.
  • Layout: MegaScaffold (not raw Scaffold).
  • Text / icons: MegaText, MegaIcon — never Material Text / Icon directly.
  • Colors: DSTokens.colors.*, IconColor, TextColor. No hardcoded hex.
  • Drawables: IconPack.<Size>.<Weight>.<Style>.<Name> (e.g. IconPack.Small.Thin.Outline.QueueLine). Never import new icon packs.
  • Toggles: Toggle, not Material Switch.
  • Destinations: @Serializable data object/class … : NavKey + register in the matching *FeatureGraph.
  • ViewModels: @HiltViewModel + constructor @Inject + asUiStateFlow(viewModelScope, …). See viewmodel-conventions.md.
  • Imports must exist. Before claiming a snippet is correct, grep each unfamiliar import in the repo. A name from training data is not proof.

Downstream skills

After this skill outputs the Compose code, hand off file creation:

  • New screen file + Destination → screen skill (/screen create <Name> --module <path>)
  • New ViewModel → viewmodel skill
  • New mapper → mapper skill
  • New module → create-module skill

Component cheatsheet

Detailed Figma node ↔ Core-UI Compose mapping with imports and a full Customise-Home translation example: see core-ui-cheatsheet.md in this directory. Always consult it in step 5 — do not reconstruct mappings from memory.

Common mistakes

MistakeFix
Skip get_code_connect_map, jump to get_design_contextAlways step 2 first — it's cheaper and tells you what's already wired up.
Write new screen without grepStep 4 is mandatory. The screen often already exists.
Paste Figma's React + Tailwind output as-isFigma output is a reference; translate every line through the cheatsheet.
Use Material Switch / Text / IconUse Toggle / MegaText / MegaIcon.
Hardcode Color(0xFF303233)Use DSTokens.colors.text.primary (or the token Figma cited).
Claim "done" before verifying imports compileGrep every unfamiliar import in the repo before declaring success.

Red flags — STOP and reset

  • "I'll just write a custom Switch / TopAppBar — Core-UI probably doesn't have it" → grep cheatsheet + shared/original-core-ui + mega-core-ui first.
  • "The screen probably doesn't exist yet" → grep feature/<area> for the title and NavKey name.
  • "Hardcoding the hex is faster" → token. Always.
  • "The Figma React output already compiles to Kotlin in my head" → still translate via the cheatsheet.
