comment list
Section titled “comment list”cyber-figma comment list <file>Lists id, author, state (open or resolved), what it replies to, and the message.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--as-md |
Return comment bodies as markdown where applicable |
--thread <comment-id> |
Only this root comment and its replies |
cyber-figma comment list abc123cyber-figma comment list abc123 --thread 987 --as-mdcyber-figma comment list abc123 --toonFigma returns root comments and replies as one flat list, with a reply carrying
parent_id — hence the reply to column, and --thread for reading a single conversation.
The endpoint has no pagination: every comment on the file comes back in one response.
Message bodies are truncated with a size hint; pass --full for the whole text.
comment create
Section titled “comment create”cyber-figma comment create <file> --message <text>| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--message <text> |
Required. The comment text |
--reply-to <comment-id> |
Reply to this comment — it must be a root comment |
--node-id <id> |
Pin inside this frame; --x / --y become the offset from its top-left corner |
--x <number> |
X position on the canvas, or inside the frame with --node-id |
--y <number> |
Y position on the canvas, or inside the frame with --node-id |
--region-width <number> |
Make it a region comment this wide (with --region-height) |
--region-height <number> |
Make it a region comment this tall (with --region-width) |
--pin-corner <corner> |
Which corner of a region carries the pin: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right |
cyber-figma comment create abc123 --message "Spacing looks off here"cyber-figma comment create abc123 --message "Agreed" --reply-to 987cyber-figma comment create abc123 --message "This frame" --node-id 1:2 --x 24 --y 40cyber-figma comment create abc123 --message "This area" --x 100 --y 200 \ --region-width 320 --region-height 180 --pin-corner top-leftWhere the comment lands is decided by which options you give: none at all makes an unpinned
file comment, --x/--y pins it on the canvas, adding --node-id makes those coordinates an
offset inside that frame, and adding the region size makes it a region comment.
You cannot reply to a reply. --reply-to must name a root comment; Figma rejects a
reply whose target already has a parent_id.
comment delete
Section titled “comment delete”cyber-figma comment delete <file> <comment-id>Only the author of a comment may delete it — no admin override exists in the API. The
delete is idempotent: deleting a comment that is already gone succeeds and reports
already_absent instead of failing with a 404.
comment reaction list
Section titled “comment reaction list”cyber-figma comment reaction list <file> <comment-id>Lists emoji, user, and creation time.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--cursor <cursor> |
Where to resume |
--all |
Fetch every page, up to --max-pages |
--max-pages <number> |
Ceiling on --all (default: 10) |
This is one of the few genuinely paginated read endpoints in the Figma API.
comment reaction add
Section titled “comment reaction add”cyber-figma comment reaction add <file> <comment-id> --emoji <shortcode>--emoji is required and takes an emoji shortcode, not a literal emoji character:
cyber-figma comment reaction add abc123 987 --emoji :+1:cyber-figma comment reaction add abc123 987 --emoji ':+1::skin-tone-2:'cyber-figma comment reaction add abc123 987 --emoji :heart:Quote a shortcode containing : pairs so your shell does not mangle it.
comment reaction delete
Section titled “comment reaction delete”cyber-figma comment reaction delete <file> <comment-id> --emoji <shortcode>Removes one reaction, identified by its shortcode — only the person who left a reaction may remove it. Idempotent, like every delete here.
