# Academic Figure in Figma (Claude Code) Land a sketch, candidate image, or text description as an **editable, paper-exact vector figure in Figma**, drawn directly through the Figma MCP server. **Draw from this skill alone.** `references/figma-api-cheatsheet.md` + `scripts/figma_lib.js` contain the complete verified API subset — do NOT load the official figma-use skill, the Plugin API typings, or explore the API by trial: that is the slow path this skill replaces. Icons come from the local cache first (`scripts/assets/icons/icons.json`, pre-cleaned, injection-ready). ## Hard rules 1. **Correctness before aesthetics.** Grep the paper for every number, term, metric name, and section reference the figure will carry; show the audit table before drawing. Fix the reference image's errors, never reproduce them. Terminology must match the paper canon verbatim; when the paper is inconsistent, ask the user to pick. Never hard-code section numbers into a figure. **This binds the notation too.** Grep the live source for every symbol before drawing it: the paper that writes `x^\ast` 31 times and `x^\star` never must not get a star in its figure, and a symbol the paper never uses (`x_1` where it always writes `\hat x_1` or `\hat x`) is an error even though it looks right. An algorithm's local name is fair game when the prose symbol will not fit — label the panel `d` and gloss `d=\operatorname{diag}(A^\top A)` in the caption — but only if the paper itself u
