get_design_context
Fetch a token-efficient Figma node tree for design grounding. Choose detail levels, limit depth, and get component deduplication; large designs return as section plans.
Instructions
Get a depth-limited, token-efficient node tree — the main design-grounding read; prefer it over get_document / get_node for anything large. Starts from nodeId (a pasted Figma URL also works), else the current selection; errors when neither is available. detail: minimal (id/name/type) / compact (+ geometry) / full (+ styling, layout, text and design-system tokens resolved to names plus a deduped globalVars style table). Defaults to full with dedupeComponents true — the code-generation view; pass detail: compact explicitly for a cheap structure scan. An over-budget full result degrades gracefully: first to the compact structure of the same tree (note attached), then to a sectionPlan. depth limits child levels (omit or 0 = unlimited; cut nodes are flagged truncated). dedupeComponents collapses repeated instances of an already-expanded main component (flagged deduped); a deduped instance still carries textOverrides ({ name, characters } — the visible text it actually renders) and propertyOverrides (its per-instance visual diffs), so per-instance content survives without re-expanding the collapsed subtree. A tree too large to return whole comes back as a sectionPlan instead ({ sections: [{ nodeId, name, nodes, … }] } + a note): do not retry unscoped — call again per section nodeId at detail full and build section by section. On a full result, raw color values that exactly equal a project design token are annotated in projectTokens ({ '#6266F0': { ref, name, matchedBy: ['value'] } }, or { matchedBy, candidates: [...] } when several tokens share the value). matchedBy: ['value'] marks every entry as name-blind value-equality evidence — a hypothesis to verify, not a resolved binding: emit the ref only when the token fits the context semantically, keep the raw value otherwise, and let a bound Figma variable win over a raw-value match.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| depth | No | Max child levels to include; omit or 0 for unlimited | |
| detail | No | How much per-node data: minimal / compact / full (default) | |
| nodeId | No | Root node id (a pasted Figma URL also works); omit to use the selection | |
| dedupeComponents | No | Collapse repeated instances of the same main component (default true) |
