Side-Kicks

Home of Limitless MCP for Figma — a local Figma MCP server + Desktop plugin that gives AI assistants full, unthrottled Figma access and a built-in design-system knowledge layer + 57-rule structure linter.

📖 AI builders start here: AGENTS.md — workspace-level canonical rules. 🔒 Reporting a vulnerability: .github/SECURITY.md. 🐛 Reporting a bug: Open an issue.

🚀 Flagship — Limitless MCP for Figma

figma-limitless-mcp/ — everything the official/remote Figma MCP can't reach, running entirely on your machine: your locally-installed fonts, variable/component/prototype authoring, the FigJam/Slides/Buzz surfaces, a crash-safe journal/checkpoint session layer, and a build → lint → fix design-system loop (bundled skills + a 57-rule structure linter). No REST calls, no REST rate limits (it uses the local Plugin API), no plan-tier tooling locks. 98 tools.

→ Read the full docs & quick start.

Independent project — not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by Figma. "Figma" is used descriptively (a tool "for Figma"). It's a local/private developer tool and is not distributed via Figma Community.

AI documentation pattern

This workspace uses the Sourcegraph AGENTS.md convention:

Layer	Canonical file	Pointer
Workspace	AGENTS.md (this folder)	CLAUDE.md (this folder)
Project	<project>/AGENTS.md	<project>/CLAUDE.md

All builder LLMs (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Aider, Continue, Gemini CLI, Codex) read AGENTS.md. CLAUDE.md exists at the same paths as a pointer for legacy Claude Code lookups and tooling that hardcodes the older path.

Read order at session start:

1. Workspace AGENTS.md — what this repo is, project scope rules, security posture
2. Workspace .gcc/session-memory.md — warm-start state
3. Per-project AGENTS.md (when working inside a project folder)
4. Per-project .gcc/session-memory.md

---

Protected files

Some paths capture context that other tooling depends on. Never delete — rewrite if the content becomes wrong.

Workspace-level

• AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, README.md
• .github/SECURITY.md, .github/CODEOWNERS, .github/dependabot.yml
• .gcc/* (six files)
• docs/CHANGELOG.md

Per-project

• <project>/AGENTS.md, <project>/CLAUDE.md
• <project>/README.md, <project>/LICENSE
• <project>/.gcc/* (six files)
• <project>/.github/copilot-instructions.md (where present)
• <project>/docs/CHANGELOG.md
• Any path that became a redirect during a structure change (e.g. <project>/docs/AGENTS.md → redirect to project root after 2026-05-22)

---

Security

• Visibility: Public repository. Anyone can clone or fork; only collaborators with write access can push.
• Branch protection on main: PR required + Code Owner review + CodeQL must pass + linear history + no force-push + no deletion.
• Vulnerability reporting: .github/SECURITY.md. Use GitHub Private Vulnerability Reporting — do not file public issues for security bugs.
• Bug + feature reporting: GitHub Issues.
• Automated scanning: Dependabot alerts + security updates + secret scanning + push protection + CodeQL.

Adding a new project

mkdir -p "Side-Kicks/<project-name>"/{.github,.gcc,docs,src}
cd "Side-Kicks/<project-name>"

# Required at project root:
#   AGENTS.md          — canonical project AI rules
#   CLAUDE.md          — pointer to AGENTS.md
#   README.md          — public-facing
#   LICENSE            — project license
#   .gcc/              — six files (session-memory, commit, metadata, main, memory, changelog)
#
# Optional:
#   docs/              — additional documentation (CODING_STANDARDS, KNOWN_ISSUES, etc.)
#   src/               — source code

Then update:

1. This README's "Projects" table.
2. Workspace AGENTS.md "What this repo is" table.
3. Workspace .gcc/main.md "Sub-projects" table.
