claude-design

claude-design is a skill for Claude Code from marvin-socialista/claude-design-mcp. It costs 131 tokens per session (1,720 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A bridge between Claude Code and claude.ai/design, a separate tool for creating screens, design systems, and other visual projects. It can send instructions, show results, read generated code, and move designs into your code repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start design projects, ask for screens or changes, inspect replies and code, and pull completed designs into a repository.
Why use it?
It removes the need to switch between Claude Code and claude.ai/design while keeping track of projects and chats. It also lets you review the visual result before using the generated files.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

claude-design scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Claude Design bridge

Claude Design (claude.ai/design) is a separate product with its own projects, chats and files. This plugin drives it: start projects, send work, see the result, read the code, and take the output.

It runs a real browser on the user's own logged-in session. Every prompt spends their Claude credits and writes into a real project, so treat send_prompt and create_project as outward-facing actions, not scratch calls.

Orient first

projectId is required by almost everything and is never guessable.

  1. list_projects to find the project. kind: "design_systems" filters to design systems.
  2. list_chats to see the threads and which one is active.

send_prompt posts into the active chat. A project usually has more than one (an app-design thread, a social thread), and the wrong one gives Claude Design the wrong context. Pass chatId explicitly whenever there is more than one, or call switch_chat first.

Starting something new

  • list_templates shows the tiles on the home screen (Blank, Mobile app design, Slides, Wireframe, Diagram and the rest).
  • create_project is the home screen's "What should we create?" box: a prompt, an optional template, and it starts building. It returns the new projectId. Claude Design names the project from the prompt.
  • create_design_system makes an empty design-system project. A project's type is fixed at creation, so a design system must be created as one; you cannot convert a project later.
  • link_design_systems attaches design systems to a project. It replaces the set, so pass everything you want to keep.

Giving it your real code and context

  • link_local_code attaches a local folder as the codebase. Point it at the frontend or design-system folder, not a monorepo: it sends text files only, bounded by count and size. The underlying handle is synthetic and lives in the browser page, so re-attach in a later session rather than assuming it persisted.
  • choose_repository points the project at a connected GitHub repo. If GitHub is not connected it will say so; do not try to complete an OAuth grant.
  • upload_fig pushes a .fig file from disk.
  • To reference another project, pass referenceProjectIds to send_prompt. There is no menu action for this: the app reads project URLs out of the prompt text, which is what that parameter appends.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
