    Safe inspection promptEditorial

    Inspect the Agent Skill "figma-use" from https://github.com/nexu-io/open-design/blob/edfa6b5f447e95cb120eae030f03baba00dc34de/skills/figma-use/SKILL.md at commit edfa6b5f447e95cb120eae030f03baba00dc34de. List every install step, command, network request, credential, file read/write, external action, and rollback step. Explain whether it fits my task. Do not install or execute anything until I approve.

    **MANDATORY prerequisite** — you MUST invoke this skill BEFORE every `use_figma` tool call. NEVER call `use_figma` directly without loading this skill first. Skipping it causes common, hard-to-debug failures. Trigger whenever the user wants to perform a write action or a unique read action that requires JavaScript execution in the Figma file context — e.g. create/edit/delete nodes, set up variables or tokens, build components and variants, modify auto-layout or fills, bind variables to propertie
