How to design anything in Claude in 5 mins:

(even if you've only ever used the basic chat)

_

1. Open claude .ai/design (it has its own URL).

2. Format: Wireframe, Slides, template or Freeform.

3. Sign in with a Pro or Max plan.

4. Use my full setup guide: claudedesign.free.

Before you prompt, get a DESIGN .md:

1. Drop every brand asset into a Cowork folder. Prompt: "Save the design system as DESIGN .md"

2. OR steal one in 30 secs from getdesign .md (Airbnb, Ferrari, Pepsi, any brand)

_

✦ Then stop describing pixels. Paste this instead:

Build a pricing page. 3 tiers, monthly/annual toggle, sticky CTA on mobile. Match our homepage tone.

✦ Good prompts have goals, layout, content & constraints. It reads DESIGN .md to build the page.

✦ For pitch decks, never ask for slides directly.

Generate a 30-sec animated video first, then in the same chat:

convert the video into a slide pitch deck.

✦ Iterate in two places:

Structural change in chat: "Give 3 different layouts."

Pixel changes in canvas. Click edit, it lights up green

✦ Always validate before you export:

List WCAG 2.1 AA violations with fixes.

Generate desktop, tablet, and mobile versions.

Suggest 2 A/B variations of the hero section.

✦ Top right → Export. In PPTX, PDF, standalone HTML, or a bundle for Claude Code format.

The secret is knowing how to prompt. But to go even deeper, use my full guide: claudedesign.free.
