# figma-library-variables — discover & import team-library variables
Browse the variables published by libraries the current file subscribes to, then import the ones you
need. Imported variables get a local id that behaves like any local variable (bind it, read it,
reference it).
## Skill boundaries
- **`use_figma` rules** — load the official **`figma-use`** skill first; it is the full Figma Plugin API reference. Essentials these scripts rely on: plain JS with top-level `await` + `return` (no IIFE, no `figma.closePlugin()`; `console.log` is not returned), inputs inlined as `const` at the top of each script, colors in 0–1 range, load fonts before any text op, `await figma.getNodeByIdAsync(...)`, and **atomic errors** (a failed script applies nothing — read the error, fix, retry).
- Local (non-library) variables → `figma-export-tokens`, `figma-manage-variables`.
## Workflow
1. **Discover.** Run [`scripts/list-library-variables.js`](scripts/list-library-variables.js) via
`use_figma` (`skillNames: "figma-library-variables"`). Optionally set the `LIBRARY_NAME` /
`COLLECTION_NAME` / `TYPE` filters. It returns each subscribed collection and the `key` of every
variable in it.
2. **Import.** Put the variable `key`(s) into
[`scripts/import-library-variable.js`](scripts/import-library-variable.js) and run it. It returns
the new `localId` for each. Re-importing is idempotent (same local id).
3. **Use.** Bind the imported variable to node properties or reference it from
