Figma Make Adds Custom Skills for Reusable Workflows.

Figma has rolled out custom skills support in Make, allowing users to create their own reusable workflow components and call them across projects. The feature gives designers and builders more control over automation logic and sets the stage for broader team collaboration.

The update, announced on LinkedIn, means users can now define, manage, and invoke custom skills directly within their Make workflows. Previously, Make users relied on built-in skills and integrations; now they can build their own.

Custom skills in Make function as modular workflow components. Once created, a skill can be called repeatedly across different projects, reducing duplication and standardizing logic. For teams working on design systems or complex prototypes, this makes it easier to maintain consistency without rebuilding the same steps.

Figma says sharing custom skills with teams and organizations is coming soon, but users can start building and managing their own skills now. The phased rollout suggests Figma is testing individual workflows before opening the feature to broader collaboration.

The move aligns with recent updates to Make, including voice-to-text input and version history, which also aimed to streamline workflow creation and iteration.

Figma Make has evolved from a simple prototyping assistant into a more capable automation platform. Custom skills represent another step in that direction, giving users the ability to extend Make's functionality beyond pre-built actions.

The feature is particularly relevant for teams managing repetitive design tasks, such as applying brand guidelines, generating variants, or processing large datasets. By packaging these actions into skills, designers can automate more of their workflow without writing code.

For now, the lack of team and org sharing limits the feature's collaborative potential. Once that capability arrives, custom skills could become a key tool for design systems teams looking to distribute standardized workflows across large organizations.

Figma has not provided a timeline for when skill sharing will be available, but the LinkedIn post indicates the feature is in active development. In the meantime, individual users can experiment with custom skills and prepare workflows for eventual team distribution.

The update continues Figma's push into AI-assisted design and workflow automation, following tools like Vibe Coding updates and integration improvements across its platform. As Make gains more capabilities, it positions Figma as a hub for design, prototyping, and automation in a single environment.
