Claude Design: Branded Prototypes via AI Chat
Use Claude Design to generate prototypes, slides, and landing pages from prompts or PDFs, auto-applying custom design systems built from your repo and guidelines, then handoff to Claude Code for implementation—powered by Opus 4.7's 82-91% visual reasoning benchmarks.
Build Custom Design Systems for Brand Consistency
Set up a design system by providing your company name, blurb, GitHub repo (e.g., AI Automation Society site), logo, and brand guidelines like "techy but modern and professional." Generation takes 15 minutes; review and approve extracted elements including colors, accents, gradients, neutrals, typography (matching site fonts), spacing, buttons, badges, cards, and glow effects. Outputs include a README, skill.md (machine-readable manifest for Claude Code), UI kits, HTML/CSS previews, and assets. New projects default to this system, ensuring slides, prototypes, and one-pagers match your brand without manual restyling—reduces iteration costs by avoiding off-brand outputs that waste tokens in planning phases.
Review prompts flag issues like missing fonts (even if typography matches); approve piecemeal to refine. This mirrors a design.md template, enforcing guidelines across teams via organization-scoped sharing (private or team-wide).
Generate and Iterate on Prototypes and Slides
Start prototypes as wireframes or high-fidelity; create slide decks or use templates like shader wallpapers, app onboarding, or text streaming. Attach context (design system, screenshots, codebase, PDFs) for grounded outputs. For slides, drop a PDF (e.g., 50-page Opus 4.7 trading bot guide) and prompt "turn into branded presentation"—AI reads via skills, plans 19 slides, applies design system (colors, logos, typography), and generates aesthetic layouts with glows and proper spacing.
For landing pages, prompt vaguely (e.g., "first agent promo workshop")—AI asks clarifying questions: workshop name ("Your First AI Agent"), dates (May 4-6), times (9-11am Central), seat cap, pricing, host, outcomes ("first AI agent with Claude Code"), agenda. Produces consistent pages with countdowns, sticky CTAs, day-by-day plans, testimonials, matching site copy style/capitalization/icons/buttons.
Iterate via tweaks panel (change dates, accents to orange, toggle countdown/CTA), comments on elements, drawings with notes (sends annotated image), or manual edits. Present fullscreen directly. Outperforms Gamma for flexibility: handles brain dumps/transcripts into structured, branded decks without inflexibility.
Seamless Export and Code Handoff
Export to Canva, PDF, PowerPoint, HTML zip, or handoff to Claude Code: copies a prompt like "fetch this design file, read README, implement aspects" into VS Code/Claude Code. AI extracts zip, implements in your repo (e.g., adds subdomain page with countdown, CTAs, agenda, auto-swaps placeholders like instructor image), spins up localhost server. Push to GitHub for deployment (e.g., via Forcell to subdomain).
Powered by Opus 4.7 (82% / 91% visual reasoning vs. 69% / 84.7% prior), available in research preview for Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise. Trade-offs: laggy/high RAM in preview, internal errors under load (auto-retries), but lowers barriers vs. Claude Code's localhost surprises—ideal for brainstorming designs before coding, looping into Anthropic ecosystem (less need for separate Gamma/Canva subs). Collaborate team-wide; import Figma/Teams assets.
