figma_rules
One-call design-system rule sheet (styles + variables + components) as markdown — read before drawing so you reuse instead of hardcode. For a durable spec, use figmaread op generatedesignmd and save the returned markdown as design.md.

figma_rules is exposed by the Reqwise Figma MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), and the figma_rules tool becomes available to the model automatically. See the full listing for setup details and every tool this server provides.
