description: "Plan user flows and screen states for a Figma design before any designing starts. Use when asked to plan a user flow, map out screens for a feature, define screen states, plan a Figma file structure, or work out what needs to be designed before opening Figma. Produces a complete flow map with all screens, states, entry/exit points, and a suggested Figma page structure."

# Figma User Flow Planner Skill
|
|
|
|
Plans what needs to be designed before a pixel is touched — mapping all screens, states, entry points, and edge cases so designers do not discover missing states mid-build.
|
|
|
|
## Required Inputs
|
|
|
|
- **Feature or task being designed**
|
|
- **User type** (who performs this flow?)
|
|
- **Platform** (iOS / Android / Web / Multi-platform)
|
|
- **Starting point** (where does the user begin?)
|
|
- **Known edge cases** (optional)
|
|
|
|
## Output Structure
|
|
|
|
### 1. Flow Overview
|
|
Feature, user, goal, entry points, success exit, failure exits.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Screen Map
|
|
|
|
| # | Screen name | Type | Triggered by | Notes |
|
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
| 1 | [Screen] | New/Modal/Drawer/Toast | [What triggers] | [Considerations] |
|
|
|
|
Screen types to cover: entry, happy path, loading, success, error (network/validation/permission), empty, first-time/onboarding, edge cases.
|
|
|
|
### 3. State Matrix
|
|
|
|
**[Screen name]**
|
|
|
|
| State | Trigger | Visual change | Action available |
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
| Default | Page load | [Description] | [What user can do] |
|
|
| Loading | User taps action | Skeleton/spinner | None |
|
|
| Error | API failure | Error message | Retry/Go back |
|
|
| Empty | No data | Empty state | [CTA] |
|
|
|
|
### 4. Decision Points
|
|
|
|
**Decision: [Name]**
|
|
- If yes: [Screen N]
|
|
- If no: [Screen X]
|
|
|
|
### 5. Suggested Figma File Structure
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Feature name/
|
|
- Cover
|
|
- Flow Map
|
|
- Happy Path
|
|
- Error States
|
|
- Empty States
|
|
- Edge Cases
|
|
- Handoff
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 6. What Not to Design Yet
|
|
[Explicit out-of-scope items — prevents scope creep]
|
|
|
|
## Quality Checks
|
|
- [ ] All three state types covered: loading, error, empty
|
|
- [ ] All decision points mapped with both branches
|
|
- [ ] Entry points include all realistic user paths
|
|
- [ ] Out-of-scope section is explicit
|
|
- [ ] Figma file structure matches screen map
|
|
|
|
## Example Trigger Phrases
|
|
- "Plan the user flow for [feature] in Figma"
|
|
- "What screens do I need to design for [feature]?"
|
|
- "Map out the states for [feature] before we start designing"
|
|
- "Help me structure my Figma file for [feature]"
|
|
- "What do we need to design before handing this to the developer?" |
