Figma Create New File

# create_new_file — Create a New Figma File

Use the `create_new_file` MCP tool to create a new blank Figma file in the user's drafts folder. This is typically used before `use_figma` when you need a fresh file to work with.

## Skill Arguments

This skill accepts optional arguments: `/figma-create-new-file [editorType] [fileName]`

- **editorType**: `design` (default) or `figjam` - **fileName**: Name for the new file (defaults to "Untitled")

Examples: - `/figma-create-new-file` — creates a design file named "Untitled" - `/figma-create-new-file figjam My Whiteboard` — creates a FigJam file named "My Whiteboard" - `/figma-create-new-file design My New Design` — creates a design file named "My New Design"

Parse the arguments from the skill invocation. If editorType is not provided, default to `"design"`. If fileName is not provided, default to `"Untitled"`.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Resolve the planKey

The `create_new_file` tool requires a `planKey` parameter. Follow this decision tree:

1. **User already provided a planKey** (e.g. from a previous `whoami` call or in their prompt) → use it directly, skip to Step 2.

2. **No planKey available** → call the `whoami` tool. The response contains a `plans` array. Each plan has a `key`, `name`, `seat`, and `tier`.

- **Single plan**: use its `key` field automatically. - **Multiple plans**: ask the user which team or organization they want to create the file in, then use the corresponding plan's `key`.

### Step 2: Call create_new_file

Call the `create_new_file` tool with:

| Parameter | Required | Description | |-------------|----------|-------------| | `planKey` | Yes | The plan key from Step 1 | | `fileName` | Yes | Name for the new file | | `editorType`| Yes | `"design"` or `"figjam"` |

Example: ```json { "planKey": "team:123456", "fileName": "My New Design", "editorType": "design" } ```

### Step 3: Use the result

The tool returns: - `file_key` — the key of the newly created file - `file_url` — a direct URL to open the file in Figma

Use the `file_key` for subsequent tool calls like `use_figma`.

## Important Notes

- The file is created in the user's **drafts folder** for the selected plan. - Only `"design"` and `"figjam"` editor types are supported. - If `use_figma` is your next step, load the `figma-use` skill before calling it.
