# Claude Design Integration

> Claude Design (claude.ai web Apps, 2026-04-14 launch) ↔ Claude Code (terminal) handoff…

A handoff workflow that connects Claude Design (the web tool where you produce layouts in natural language) to Claude Code (the terminal that implements them in your real codebase). You generate and iterate a design in the browser, click handoff to create a bundle, and the implementation layer refactors that bundle into production components with accessibility, responsive testing, and safe deployment. It closes the design-to-development gap so design becomes the default first step on every visual task.

## Use cases
- Redesigning a landing page hero and header from a natural-language brief
- Turning a design bundle into production framework components
- Producing a slide deck, email template, or social post layout
- Iterating a design with plain-language edits instead of pixel tweaks
- Implementing a chosen variant while preserving existing translation keys
- Keeping design work on a separate quota bucket to protect your main usage

## Benefits
- Go from prompt to a working multi-page prototype in seconds instead of hours
- Ship designs as accessible, responsive production components, not just mockups
- Iterate by talking ('make the hero bigger, accent gold') rather than dragging pixels
- Protect your main usage budget by routing design work to its own quota

## What’s included
- A 3-role, step-by-step handoff workflow from web design to terminal implementation
- A CEO brief template that turns sector, palette, font, and CTA inputs into a clean prompt
- Bundle validation against sector design intelligence before implementation
- An accessibility audit and 3-viewport responsive test on every implementation
- Design-token alignment so handed-off styles map cleanly to your component system
- A quota strategy that keeps the design bucket separate from development work

## Who it’s for
Designers, agencies, and developers who want to ideate visually in natural language and ship the result as real, production-grade code.

## How it runs
This is a design-to-code handoff pipeline with two verified entry points: the claude.ai Design web app produces, the terminal implements. The exact flow:
1. The design starts in claude.ai Design with a natural-language brief (client, page, tone, palette, fonts, trust cues, CTAs, 3 variants requested); the chosen variant's Handoff to Claude Code button produces a bundle: working HTML/CSS, design tokens JSON, component specs and screenshots.
2. The terminal agent reads the bundle and verifies it against the sector design database before touching code: does the palette and style match what the client's sector actually needs, any drift gets flagged.
3. Pulls the current state of the client repo and the existing components, then refactors the bundle's HTML/CSS into Next.js with shadcn-ui and Tailwind while preserving existing i18n keys instead of overwriting translations.
4. Runs the quality gates in sequence: WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility audit, responsive test across three viewports, then a safe commit and deploy followed by a live URL test of the actual rendered result.
5. When Design must be driven from the terminal, uses the verified browser bridge: the playwright persistent profile carries an authenticated claude.ai session, so login and the Cloudflare wall are passed automatically, with a mandatory account check before any brief is entered.
6. Falls back from Claude Design only in four defined cases (photorealistic product photos, client-supplied Figma files, deep shadcn component polish, trivial single icons), and every fallback must be justified in writing.

## FAQ
### Do I need both the web tool and the terminal side for this to work?
Yes, the workflow is the bridge between them: you design in Claude Design in the browser and implement through Claude Code in your repo. The handoff bundle is what carries the layout from one to the other.

### Does the handoff drop in real components or just paste a static HTML blob?
The implementation layer refactors the bundle into your framework's components rather than leaving a one-off markup dump. So the hero and header you iterated in the browser land as code you can actually maintain.

### Does this come up with the design direction for me?
No, it carries a design you have already shaped in natural language into production. The taste and the brief are still your call; the workflow handles the ideate-to-ship gap, not the idea itself.
