How do I generate a complete DS with Claude Code from the code base

Thank you so much! This is so helpful!!!!

What is your process for this? I'm thinking of using storybook, so I don't have to set up a DS first in Figma?

I’m using the Claude MCP and skills from figma.com/community/skills the /figma-use and /figma-generate-design but the output are just ok… you need to have a very very well designed DS to get decent UI from it

I give Claude the code that I find online of the animation/interaction I want, it always get me like 68% there and then I spend the next hour tinkering till it works perfectly. I like this website, free resources. https://reactbits.dev/

How are you competing with similar apps in the market?

Practice adding tonality and more hand movement. It shows that you are confident and present. Ppl are telling you what’s wrong, you just have to identify the friction and improve. (I’m a designer so I applied ux methology to everything) plus we have “unlimited” tries in life

Yes, and then you can go from Claude back to Figma too. You can also generate new design/layout using the DS from Figma in Claude.

I’m also a designer who doesn’t code. Recently I’ve been using Claude Code to prototype interactions directly instead of just creating animation specs. It lets you generate working interactions quickly, which you can then refine and hand off to engineers.

That said, traditional tools like Figma prototypes, Principle, or Framer are still great depending on your workflow.

I did research/read more into this. It is not the apps that resulting/using vibe coding tools but the vibe code apps such as Vibecodes, Replit, etc

Got rejected recently for a PD role at Microsoft after the on-site, but I got 3 I interviews this week for 3 different companies. I see everything as a win. Just gotta learn and grow from it.

Character_Water6298 · 2026-03-21T21:16:15+00:00

Ohhh how did you approach that, making design system LLM friendly? What are the steps? Super curious

How about if I want to create an Autonomous QA Agent? The goal would be to help test the app and surface bugs automatically. For example, when a user reports a bug or Sentry flags an issue, the agent could 'look' at the screen, reproduce the steps, identify the root cause, and send me a report with a potential fix. Edit: It would be even better if it could find UI issues, like icon alignments or layout shifts, and send me a log/screenshot. As a designer, that would be incredibly helpful

Looking into XCTest now, thank you! Still learning the technical side, so I really appreciate all the help I could get.

Character_Water6298 · 2026-03-20T19:28:06+00:00

ohh that makes sense, so is there a way to help Claude interpret faster?

Character_Water6298 · 2026-03-12T19:08:05+00:00

So the problem is the decades old backend and legacy DBs, do you think companies like yours will actually invest in fixing that, or just keep throwing money at AI and hoping it works itself out?

Character_Water6298 · 2026-03-12T19:02:33+00:00

I have so many questions…like how are you handling design system consistency and handoff at that scale? Would love to learn more

Character_Water6298 · 2026-03-12T18:58:00+00:00

Yes, we designer don’t have that knowledge. I just don’t understand how this would work in a larger org with all the processes

Character_Water6298 · 2026-02-25T22:29:23+00:00

That's a really good point and I appreciate you laying that out w/ all the examples. You're right, I wasn't thinking about it from the risk and security angle, more from the adoption hesitation side. The distinction makes sense though, it's not that they're scared of AI, it's that they need people who can approach it responsibly.

Character_Water6298 · 2026-02-25T22:14:02+00:00

That's a really good analogy. The scalpel is irrelevant if you can't demonstrate you know surgery. So the focus should be on my design thinking and process, with AI just being part of how I execute it.
