Apply existing Color variables

Purpose

Use this skill to replace hard-coded colors in a Figma file with existing Color variables from the chosen Variables collection. The goal is to make fills, strokes, text colors, and effect colors use the design system’s variable collection instead of raw color values.

When to use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

• apply existing Color variables to colors that are not using variables
• convert raw hex/RGB colors to variables
• clean up a Figma file so colors use the team’s Variables collection
• audit a design for unbound colors and bind them to existing variables

Do not use this skill to create, rename, delete, or change variables.
