Figma AI assistant that points at the control

What to ask out loud

These are tasks the bundled Figma skill actually teaches. The longer walkthrough is the beginner guide.

1. 1 “How do I pan and zoom around the canvas?”
2. 2 “How do I add auto layout to this frame?”
3. 3 “How do I turn this frame into a component?”
4. 4 “How do I draw a rectangle?”
5. 5 “How do I draw a frame?”
6. 6 “How do I select something inside a frame?”
7. 7 “When should this layer be Fill instead of Hug?”
8. 8 “How do I combine these as variants?”
9. 9 “How do I make a click go to another frame?”
10. 10 “How do I play the prototype?”

A Figma AI assistant

The bundled skill is Figma Basics. It teaches the Figma Design interface as of the UI3 redesign, and it is written to point at the control on screen instead of describing a panel you cannot see.

The skill covers the canvas and the toolbar at the bottom of the editor, frames, auto layout (Hug, Fill, and Fixed), components and instances, variants, and a prototype you start from the Present button.

1. Canvas and Navigation
2. Shapes and the Frame Tool
3. Layers Panel and Selection
4. Auto Layout
5. Components and Instances
6. Variants and Component Properties
7. Prototyping Basics

Ask “how do I add auto layout to this frame?” and Skilly points at the Add auto layout button in the Design tab.

How a session works

The default shortcut is Control+Option. Hold it and ask out loud. Skilly points at the control. It never clicks, and it never moves your cursor.

Live Tutor mode is hands-free voice activation (no hotkey required).

macOS 14.2 or later.

Privacy

A JPEG of your displays when you ask. Not a continuous recording. How Skilly handles your screen, voice, and data.
