A prompt to kick start a web design project. This prompt is the starting point for every design project in my workflow.
You're a senior creative director at a design studio known for bold, opinion-driven web experiences. I'm briefing you on a new project. **Client:** company_name **Industry:** industry **Existing site:** if_there_is_one_or_delete_this_line **Positioning:** [Example: "The most expensive interior design studio in Istanbul that only works with 5 clients/year"] **Target audience:** [Who are they? What are they looking for? What are the motivations?] **Tone:** [3-5 adjective: eg. "confident...
This prompt will help you to build your web site page by page after the kick starter prompt
Based on the approved concept, build the [Homepage/About/etc.] page. Constraints: - Single-file React component with Tailwind - Mobile-first, responsive - Performance budget: no library over 50kb unless justified - [Specific interaction from Phase 1] must be the hero moment - Use the frontend-design skill for design quality Show me the component. I'll review before moving to the next page.
This prompt will help you to refine and polish over the design iteration.
Review the current page against these criteria: - Does the hero section create a clear emotional reaction in <3 seconds? - Is the typography hierarchy clear at every breakpoint? - Are interactions purposeful or decorative? - Does this feel like reference_site_x in quality but distinct in identity? Suggest 3 specific improvements with reasoning, then implement them.
This prompt instructs Claude to crawl the entire codebase and extract every design-related token, pattern, and component into a raw inventory. It produces a structured JSON audit, not a design system yet, just the raw material. Run this first before any organization or documentation happens. When to use: At the very start, when you have a working codebase but no documented design system.
You are a senior design systems engineer conducting a forensic audit of an existing codebase. Your task is to extract every design decision embedded in the code — explicit or implicit. ## Project Context - **Framework:** [Next.js / React / etc.] - **Styling approach:** [Tailwind / CSS Modules / Styled Components / etc.] - **Component library:** [shadcn/ui / custom / MUI / etc.] - **Codebase location:** [path or "uploaded files"] ## Extraction Scope Analyze the entire codebase and extract the ...
Takes the raw JSON audit from Phase 1 and transforms it into a structured, named token system with a clear hierarchy (primitive → semantic → component). This is where the messy reality of the codebase gets organized into a proper design language. Claude will also flag what to rename, merge, or deprecate.
You are a design systems architect. I'm providing you with a raw design audit JSON from an existing codebase. Your job is to transform this chaos into a structured token architecture. ## Input [Paste the Phase 1 JSON output here, or reference the file] ## Token Hierarchy Design a 3-tier token system: ### Tier 1 — Primitive Tokens (raw values) Named, immutable values. No semantic meaning. - Colors: `color-gray-100`, `color-blue-500` - Spacing: `space-1` through `space-N` - Font sizes: `font-s...
Generates detailed documentation for each component in the design system. This is not just a props table — it includes usage guidelines, do/don't examples, accessibility requirements, and the specific tokens each component consumes. The output becomes the component section of the CLAUDE.md.
You are a design systems documentarian creating the component specification for a CLAUDE.md file. This documentation will be used by AI coding assistants (Claude, Cursor, Copilot) to generate consistent UI code. ## Context - **Token system:** [Paste or reference Phase 2 output] - **Component to document:** [Component name, or "all components from inventory"] - **Framework:** [Next.js + React + Tailwind / etc.] ## For Each Component, Document: ### 1. Overview - Component name (PascalCase) - On...
Use this prompt periodically (monthly, or after major feature additions) to keep the CLAUDE.md in sync with the actual codebase. It performs a diff between the documented design system and the current code, flagging drift.
You are a design system auditor performing a sync check. Compare the current CLAUDE.md design system documentation against the actual codebase and produce a drift report. ## Inputs - **CLAUDE.md:** paste_or_reference_file - **Current codebase:** path_or_uploaded_files ## Check For: 1. **New undocumented tokens** - Color values in code not in CLAUDE.md - Spacing values used but not defined - New font sizes or weights 2. **Deprecated tokens still in code** - Tokens documente...
Generates a design handoff document that serves as direct implementation instructions for AI coding agents. Unlike traditional handoff notes that describe how a design "should feel," this document provides machine-parseable specifications with zero ambiguity. Every value is explicit, every state is defined, every edge case has a rule.

Systematically checks a built design against its intended specification across browsers, devices, and edge cases. This is the designer's QA not functional testing, but visual fidelity and interaction quality. Produces a categorized issue list with exact reproduction steps and suggested fixes
You are a senior QA specialist with a designer's eye. Your job is to find every visual discrepancy, interaction bug, and responsive issue in this implementation. ## Inputs - **Live URL or local build:** [URL / how to run locally] - **Design reference:** [Figma link / design system / CLAUDE.md / screenshots] - **Target browsers:** [e.g., "Chrome, Safari, Firefox latest + Safari iOS + Chrome Android"] - **Target breakpoints:** [e.g., "375px, 768px, 1024px, 1280px, 1440px, 1920px"] - **Priority ar...
Runs a performance-focused analysis of the built site and produces actionable optimization recommendations. This isn't just "run Lighthouse" it interprets the results, prioritizes fixes by impact-to-effort ratio, and provides implementation-ready solutions. Written for a designer who needs to communicate performance issues to developers.
You are a web performance specialist. Analyze this site and provide

Transforms any idea into a clean, premium, Apple-inspired UI system with real design discipline and production-ready structure. It avoids “AI-vibe coded” outputs by enforcing disciplined layout systems, intentional spacing, refined typography, and minimal but meaningful interactions. The output focuses on system-level thinking rather than surface visuals, producing structured UI architectures that are both visually premium and implementation-ready.
