Troubleshoot Figma errors

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

The same task, four prompts

The 'Missing Fonts' error is popping up on the Q3 marketing campaign file, and I need to get this to Sarah by 3 PM. Find out which fonts are missing and where they are used so I can fix them.

I'm getting 'Out of Memory' messages when trying to open the new product prototype. Before I try to present this to the executive team, tell me what's causing the memory issue and suggest ways to optimize the file so it runs smoothly.

The client just called, furious because the latest design update for the landing page is showing a blank screen on their end.
The client just called, furious because the latest design update for the landing page is showing a blank screen on their end. I pushed the changes an hour ago, and it looked fine on my machine. I'm afraid this will cost us the contract. What’s the most likely reason for them seeing a blank screen, and what’s the quickest way to diagnose and fix it before our 2 PM call?

I keep getting error messages about broken links or missing assets in files handed off from other teams.
I keep getting error messages about broken links or missing assets in files handed off from other teams, which always delays my work. This happens every time I inherit a project. What habit should I change to prevent these issues from derailing my progress, and how can I set myself up for success when taking over a file?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from Figma's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
