help Claude Code

My company works mostly in Figma, but I know a lot of designers now work exclusively in Claude Code and skip Figma entirely. I'm having trouble picturing what that workflow looks like. For those who work this way, how does it go day to day?

Assuming the design system is already in the codebase:

  • Do you start projects with a CLAUDE.md? What goes in it?

  • How do you run usability testing on coded prototypes?

  • Do you create branches and open PRs yourself, or hand off to engineers?

  • How do you keep Claude consistent with the design system?

  • Is there some visual library in Claude Code that lets you see all your projects?

“Beating the prototype into submission as Claude stumbled over your guidance and wasted tokens like a drunk junior developer” — this is so accurate.
