Figma Use Slides
Figma MCP skill for building and editing decks in Figma Slides via `use_figma`—brand-matched layouts, speaker notes, and iterative refinement.
Overview
figma-use-slides adds Slides-specific Plugin API context on top of `figma-use`. Use it for new decks, edits, brand-matched styling, reference-file styling, and speaker notes inside `figma.com/slides` files. Nick Babich’s UX Planet roundup notes Figma’s skill collection covers UI, FigJam diagrams, and Figma Slides—this is the slides path. Prefer this over one-shot `generate_deck` when you need brand control or iteration.

Installation guide
Install from figma/mcp-server-guide skills. Load `figma-use` + `figma-use-slides` and include `figma-use-slides` in skillNames for Slides `use_figma` calls.
How to use it
Create or open a Figma Slides file, then ask for deck structure, brand styling, or edits. Pick either `use_figma`+this skill OR `generate_deck`—don't mix both on the same request. Use slide grid constructs (not `createPage`, which is Design-file only).
Example prompts
- “Create a 10-slide product launch deck in Figma Slides matching our brand file.”
- “Restyle this Slides deck using tokens from our UI kit file.”
- “Add speaker notes and tighten typography on slides 3–6.”
- “Rebuild the pricing comparison slide with clearer hierarchy.”
Use cases and examples
- Brand-matched pitch decks in Figma Slides
- Iterate speaker notes and layouts in-file
- Reference an existing Figma file’s styles for a deck
- Replace generic generate_deck templates
- Design workshop slide artifacts
Prerequisites
- Figma MCP + Slides file access
- figma-use skill available
- Brand/reference file when matching styles
Tips
- Don't call figma.createPage() in Slides—it throws.
- Commit to one generation path per deck request.
- Pair with Frontend Slides / PPTX skills when the deliverable isn't Figma.
- Default light theme on new Slides files—set brand theme early.
