Why this score may understate the skillThe live evaluation is a chat-only run: the model follows the skill's instructions but can't execute its scripts, call tools or reach the network.
  • Expects tools, MCP servers, installs or network access that a chat-only run doesn't have.
  • Works with files or media (documents, images, designs) that the run can only describe in text.
Live telemetry from real runs (via the Savant skill router) replaces this estimate as it accumulates.

# 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.
