Figma Variant Matrix Skill
Defines all variants, properties, and states a component needs before building it in Figma — preventing missing variants discovered after the component is already used across 40 screens.
Required Inputs
- Component name (Button, Card, Input, Badge, Navigation item, etc.)
- Component purpose (what does it do, where is it used?)
- Platform (iOS / Android / Web / Multi-platform)
- Design system context (standalone / part of existing system)
Output Structure
1. Component Overview
Name, category (Interactive/Display/Layout/Form/Navigation/Feedback), used in contexts.
2. Variant Properties
| Property | Values | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Destructive | |
| Size | Large, Medium, Small | |
| State | Default, Hover, Active, Disabled, Loading | |
| Icon | None, Leading, Trailing, Only |
Total combinations: [N]. Flag if over 50 — consider splitting into multiple components.
3. State Definitions
For each state, list only what changes from Default:
- Default: [Full visual spec]
- Hover (web): [Delta from default]
- Active/Pressed: [Delta]
- Disabled: [Delta — use layer-level properties, not opacity on whole component]
- Loading: [What replaces label, interactive during loading?]
- Error (forms): [Border colour, helper text, icon changes]
4. Anatomy Breakdown
| Layer name | Purpose | Required? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| container | Background and bounds | Yes | |
