description: "Define component variants and states systematically for Figma. Use when asked to plan component variants, define states for a component, set up a Figma variant matrix, or work out what properties a component needs before building it. Produces a complete variant matrix with all properties, values, and combinations needed."

# 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 | |
|
|
| label | Text | Conditional | Hide when icon-only |
|
|
| icon-leading | Leading icon slot | No | |
|
|
|
|
### 5. Token Mapping
|
|
|
|
| Property | Token | Fallback |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| Background default | color.brand.primary | #hex |
|
|
| Border radius | radius.medium | 8px |
|
|
|
|
### 6. Build Order
|
|
1. Default state, most common variant
|
|
2. Convert to component, add properties
|
|
3. Size variants
|
|
4. State variants
|
|
5. Type variants
|
|
6. Icon slot variants last
|
|
|
|
## Quality Checks
|
|
- [ ] All interactive states defined
|
|
- [ ] Total variant count calculated, flagged if over 50
|
|
- [ ] Every layer named semantically
|
|
- [ ] Token mapping covers all visual properties
|
|
- [ ] Disabled state uses layer-level properties not opacity
|
|
|
|
## Anti-Patterns
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Do not create a variant matrix with properties that overlap or conflict — each property must be independently variable
|
|
- [ ] Do not use opacity for disabled states — disabled states must use layer-level properties, not opacity
|
|
- [ ] Do not enumerate every mathematical combination if many are invalid — document only valid, buildable combinations
|
|
- [ ] Do not define variants without considering responsive behaviour — specify which properties change across screen sizes
|
|
- [ ] Do not produce a matrix without Figma implementation guidance — variant naming conventions must follow Figma's property system
|
|
|
|
## Example Trigger Phrases
|
|
- "Define the variants for a [component] in Figma"
|
|
- "What states does my [component] need?"
|
|
- "Help me plan the variant matrix for [component]"
|
|
- "Set up the Figma properties for a [button/card/input]"
|
|
- "What are all the combinations I need for my [component]?" |
