Anthropic's design assistant now works better with its coding agent

Anthropic's design assistant now works better with its coding agent Anthropic's design assistant now works better with its coding agent Exactly two months after releasing a preview of Claude Design to subscribers, Anthropic has begun rolling out a major update for its design assistant that brings better integration with its other apps. To start, Claude Design can now begin working from a local codebase, meaning any assets it generates will contain elements that already exist in your front-facing products. From there, the app can hand off a design to Claude Code, allowing the coding agent to program an interface without the need to start from scratch. You also don't need to provide it with screenshots to give it an idea of your intent. And if you want to skip Claude Design, you can do that too, with Anthropic adding the option to create and edit designs directly from Claude Code. Outside of more robust integration with Anthropic's other apps, today's update brings with it quality of life improvements, starting with a more flexible import tool that can build entire design systems from GitHub and raw files.
