Workflow
Step 1: Resolve the planKey
The create_new_file tool requires a planKey parameter. Follow this decision tree:
-
User already provided a planKey (e.g. from a previous whoami call or in their prompt) → use it directly, skip to Step 2.
-
No planKey available → call the whoami tool. The response contains a plans array. Each plan has a key, name, seat, and tier.
- Single plan: use its
keyfield automatically.
- Multiple plans: ask the user which team or organization they want to create the file in, then use the corresponding plan's
key.
Step 2: Call create_new_file
Call the create_new_file tool with:
Parameter
Required
Description
planKey
Yes
The plan key from Step 1
fileName
Yes
Name for the new file
editorType
Yes
"design", "figjam", or "slides"
Example:
{
"planKey": "team:123456",
"fileName": "My New Design",
"editorType": "design"
}Step 3: Use the result
The tool returns:
file_key— the key of the newly created file
file_url— a direct URL to open the file in Figma
Use the file_key for subsequent tool calls like use_figma.
Important Notes
- The file is created in the user's drafts folder for the selected plan.
- Supported editor types are
"design","figjam", and"slides".
- If
use_figmais your next step, load thefigma-useskill before calling it.
Editor-specific notes
Slides — newly created files have an empty grid
A slides file produced by this tool starts with zero rows and zero slides — figma.getSlideGrid() returns [], not a default first slide. The page's only child is the SLIDE_GRID node itself, which is empty until you create content. The first call to figma.createSlide() implicitly creates row 0 and inserts the new slide there.
If your follow-up use_figma script assumes at least one slide exists (e.g. to read theme tokens off it), guard for the empty case or call createSlide() first. See figma-use-slides → slide-grid for full details.
